So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel 37:10
We are a bilingual (EN/JP) non-denominational protestant church in Hirakata, Osaka.
We welcome anyone and everyone who is seeking Jesus.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins,
And restore the places long devastated;
They will renew the ruined cities
That have been devastated for generations.
Isaiah 61:4
That Word
A loving person’s words are filled with encouragement. The things said may be different
according to your situation and condition at times. At times they may sound even harsh and bitter. However, the person’s words who loves you so much is truly a blessing. The person thinks of you deeply, knows you well, and to let you grow, the loving person speaks those words. To receive them is a blessing for you. Who comes to your mind now? Your mother? Teacher or best friend?
​
That person is a special existence in your life. You are also the special existence in their lives. They take good care of you, try to lift you up, to protect and to give to you. However, at times it may feel like all they’re giving you is frustration, that they are taking away from you, and you feel forsaken and forgotten. If you believe the things you feel are the truth, that is tragedy. Because that is not the truth. The truth is that no matter what you feel, that person loves you and always tries to give you the best.
You are specially loved by God. But sometimes, you think, “Then why are these terrible
things happening in my life?” Let us remember that Jesus, the Son was loved by the Father
but was put on the cross as if like He was forsaken. This Jesus rose from the grave on the
third day, and has been given Name above all names. No matter what kind of problems
happen in your life, the fact that God loves you will never change. Let us read the Words of God who loves us very much everyday! Good days and hard days, happy days and tough days, let us take His word from the Bible. It is always full of encouragement to you!
