MARCH-APRIL 2002 THOUGHTS

Governor Pilate couldn't free Jesus; / He himself was enchained to appease the mob. / King Jesus can liberate all men / And unshackle hearts completely!


We don't have to adopt surrealistic things of the world, /attach "Christian" labels to them, / and try to live by visibly morally upright standards / and call them "examples" to emulate.


The bush warbler's (うぐいす)song of "ho-hokekyo" is going again, / Clearly. / "June, come with Me to My Garden, and know spring. / Don't stay out in the cold winter any longer than you need to."


私たちの神様は、「不可能」を「可能」にする神様、

    ただ「どうにか」、「なんとか」助けてくれるだけでなく、

私たちの望みをはるかに越えて「豊かに」祝福してくれる神様、

    傷を癒してくれるだけでなく、

私たちの心を喜び・ちから・愛で満ちあふれさせてくれる神様、

 「このように働いて私たちをびっくりさせて下さい」と

私たちが祈ることを答えたいと待ってくれる神様なのね。
