The Key to Endless Blessings: Fervent Prayer to Please God

First and foremost, pray to become a person who pleases the Lord. 

As you do, He will provide you with everything you need in abundance.


The Lord revealed that those loved by God are like beloved pets, while those who live without His love are like stray dogs.

Just as a pet dog is lovingly cared for by its owner with regular meals and enjoyable walks, so too will God provide for His followers, showering them with His blessings.

On the other hand, stray dogs must fend for themselves, without the certainty of daily food or safety. Finding peaceful places to roam is a challenge, and sometimes they may wander into dangerous situations.

In the same way, God abundantly provides for those who seek to please Him. As righteous people, we need not struggle for success and wealth on our own, unlike many in this world who try to achieve these things through their own efforts.

If we live to please God, He blesses us — sometimes even granting success and prosperity that others may envy.

While some may think that a dog chained to its owner is restricted, it's important to remember that a well-loved dog, even with a leash, lives a far more peaceful and fulfilling life than a stray. Though the stray may seem free, it is often vulnerable and uncertain.

Similarly, those who choose to live in God's love and strive to please Him may appear bound by rules, but in reality, they are free — free from the struggles and dangers that the world faces.

I pray that you always seek to please the Lord, and that your lives will be filled with His blessings, both now and forever.

RAPT『蛹から蝶へ』MUSIC VIDEO: "Chrysalis to Butterfly"

Image
  Listening carefully, without hesitation, I live by each and every Word. With all my heart, with all my mind, I live toward the day I'll be complete. As a chrysalis, I can't fly. But to spread the wings of love, I will overcome tears and doubts, One day, I will soar, so free above. Without blame for the child I am, I’ll keep learning to grow strong. Until the butterfly unfurls its wings, I’ll trust the guidance of love all along. As a chrysalis, the sky feels so far. But the wind of the Word will grow my wings. With prayer, I’ll grow, One day, I’ll soar to the highest skies. I can’t end as a chrysalis, Love and truth will transform me. The marks of my tears are carved in my wings, Like God, I’ll shine into the light.

God’s Word: The Perfect Guide to Living a Fulfilling Life

Image
Recently, as I was walking, I looked up and saw migratory birds flying across the sky, their wings glowing in the warmth of the setting sun.  It reminded me of something I had read in a scientific paper—that migratory birds have an "invisible map" that helps them navigate their journey every year. This map, based on the Earth’s magnetic field, guides them along specific routes to build nests and complete their life cycles. It struck me that, just like the birds, we too have a path to follow in life—a right path that, when followed, leads us to the most fulfilling and meaningful life we can live. I discovered this "map" when I first encountered the teachings of Rapt Nakamura, which revealed the profound truths about the world and life itself. These teachings have helped me recognize and eliminate the harmful and unnecessary aspects of my life. I’ve come to understand the true purpose of life and the best way to live it, which has brought me a deep sense of joy and pe...
