From Slavery to Freedom: The Power of Developing Your Unique Talents

 

People who have cultivated their individuality and talents are free to think, create, plan, and live as they choose. 

This freedom allows them to break away from a slavery-like situation, to live fully, and to thrive

Unfortunately, most people today find themselves, in some sense, slaves to their jobs. They work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, following orders and going through the motions, like robots. 
For many, it's simply about making a living.

The reason so many people end up in this cycle of monotony is that they haven't developed their unique abilities or nurtured their individual talents. They've grown up without the guidance or opportunity to explore and refine what makes them special.

In contrast, God encourages us to embrace and develop our individuality, using our gifts and talents to leave our mark on the world.  

Those who have honed their unique abilities  can think for themselves, take initiative, and accomplish their goals.  This autonomy means they no longer have to live at the mercy of others, simply following someone else’s plan.

Living this way allows us to experience life to its fullest.  And what’s even more beautiful is that when we express our true selves, it brings joy not only to us but to those around us—and to God, too.

Many believe that following God's path is difficult or burdensome. In truth, the painful path is the one that Satan lay before us.  God's path, however, is the one that leads to joy, fulfillment, and true freedom. 

I pray that each of you will strive with all your heart to grow and refine your individuality and talents.  May you live a life that is rich in meaning, one that brings joy to yourself, to those around you, and to God.

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...

Let the voice of prayer echo through the sky. Holy Spirit, cover this earth. The light of hope pierces the darkness.  A new era begins now. By the power of prayer, shine upon the world.
