A Slump is a Powerful Opportunity to Return to God and Experience Life-Altering Transformation

 
When God speaks harsh words, delivers judgment, or brings destruction, it is all with the intention of guiding humanity toward true happiness.

When God speaks harsh words or delivers judgment, it's not meant to condemn or destroy humanity. 

Ultimately, His purpose is to guide us toward salvation, helping us live a life filled with blessings and grace.

As humans, we often need strict discipline and guidance to stay on the right path. Yet, in this world, when we receive harsh discipline from others, it doesn’t always lead to happiness—in fact, it can sometimes bring about unhappiness.

However, when we are taught by God through His Word, it’s different. His discipline is filled with grace, and it leads us to a life of true happiness.

There are times when God speaks harshly or allows difficult judgments to fall upon people.  But He does so to help us understand His ways and bring us closer to the path of grace and peace.

If a person chooses not to follow God's Word, they will naturally face disaster and misfortune, even if God does not specifically intervene. On the other hand, those who choose to obey His Word will experience grace and live a life of joy, even without direct blessings in every moment.

This is an eternal truth, as unchanging as the laws of nature—like the way water evaporates when it’s heated or freezes when it’s cold.

God knows that these divine laws are at work in the world, which is why He shares His Word with us. His guidance ensures we can avoid disaster and live a life full of grace.

My prayer is that each of you will come to understand God’s deep love for you, live in alignment with His Word, and experience a life of happiness and blessings.

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...
