主イエスは日本が愛する

Today I was invited by a few of my leaders to share the Gospel with students on campus. I was so excited and nervous, but once I got there, the excitement really took over. I didn't do much sharing today, but watched how my leaders and peers did it, and it really stirred up a passion in my heart for the lost. 


While sharing God's love with students on campus today, I got to sign a poster for Japan, while they are still so deep in crisis, and someone from Japanese Student Association gave me this cute paper crane. I wrote in Japanese "Christ loves Japan", I hope a Japanese person somewhere feels this love, I hope for that more than anything.


My heart still aches for them, I was able to get through these past two weeks by focusing on my studies and telling myself, "I have to work hard to be a better speaker in Japanese and know how to write and interact, that is why I am here, so I can go there when I have learned so much, when I am ready." Yet, deep down, it hurts. I realize that their spiritual deficit is what was hurting me most. I hope I can share the Gospel with them. I want that more than anything in this life. 

  But you, O God, are both tender and kind,
      not easily angered, immense in love...
