You are my Valentine - 特別なバレンタイン

Last week was like a “Valentine Week” to me.
I felt God’s Everlasting & Unchanging Love everyday.
先週1週間は、ヴァレンタイン・ウィークとでも言うべき1週間でした。
毎日、神様の永遠の変わらぬ愛を感じて過ごしました。

I love you, Eri. I hear your prayers. Don’t worry.
I have a Great Plan for you.
おまえを愛しているよ。 祈りを聞いているよ。 
おまえにすばらしい計画を用意している。 安心しなさい。 

God pours His Love to me everyday, but last week was very special.
I felt like God is my Valentine :)
Yes! because I am in Love with Him!
Yes! I fell in Love with Him! since I became a Christian!
Since then, I cannot stop expressing my Love to Him everyday because He loves me and I love Him!!
神様は毎日彼の愛を注いでくれます。でも、先週はとっても特別でした。
なんだか神様が私のヴァレンタイン(=恋人)みたいに思いました。
そうです!私はクリスチャンになって以来、神様が大好きでたまらないのです(^-^)/
だから毎日神様に愛を表現するのをやめられないのです!

God pours His Love to you everyday, too!
He Loves you!!!
All you have to do is to RECEIVE!
God sent His only gotten Son Jesus to this world and He died on the Cross for our sins. He rose again after three days, and now He, as the Holy Spirit, is with us always.
We only have to receive this Greatest Love and receive His Love everyday. That’s all you have to do!
When you receive it, you cannot stop thanking Him and loving Him!!
神様はあなたにも毎日愛を注いでくださっています。
あなたを愛しています。
ただ受け取るだけでいいんです(^-^)/
この世にイエス様を送ってくださって、イエス様は私たちの罪のために死んでくださった。そして3日後に生き返り、聖霊様として私たちといつも一緒にいてくださいます。
その大きな愛を受け取り、毎日与えてくださる愛を受け取る。それだけです。
受け取ったらもう感謝を止められなくて、彼に対する愛を表現したくなります♪

I don’t have a “valentine”, but God let me realize that He is my “Divine” Valentine :))
He is my Valentine, always and forever.
And, He prepares my “valentine”, lifetime partner and provides me at the right timing.
I look forward to that!! :)) and I enjoy my single life while God prepares me to meet him!
私には現実のパートナーはいないけれど、神様が特別なバレンタインだと気づかせてくださいました。
神様はいつも、永遠にわたしのバレンタインです。
そして、現実のパートナーはいつか神様のタイミングで与えてくれます♪ 楽しみです(^v^)/

Valentine's Dinner Invitation

今日、すんごく大好きなあの人からヴァレンタインディナーの“チケット”をいただいた♪
I was given a ticket for Valentine's Dinner from my Best Man!

仕事中、ロマンティックなメールが届いて、読んだら顔が真っ赤になっちゃった~!
While I was working, I received a romantic e-mail, and my face turned red & hot when I read it!

励ましと愛に満ち溢れたカード♪
彼のことばがびっしり書いてあった。
希望に満ち溢れていた。(エレミヤ書29:11)

The card He gave me was filled with His Words, Love, Encouragements and Hope! (Jeremiah 29:11)

一輪のバラストロベリーチョコレートもプレゼントされちゃった!
Also, He gave me a rose & strawberry chocolate! :)




このロマンティックなプレゼントをくれたその人の名は!
The Name of this person is..........











ジーザス!!!!! Jesus!!!!!!!!!




うふふ♪(^-^)
種明かしをすると。。。 I tell you how it happened :))

実はうちのライフグループで先週くじびきをして、それに書いてあった名前の人に何かいいことをしよう!っていうことになったのです。
で、私の名前を引いたSが、こんなにロマンティックで粋なことをしてくれたのです~。

Our Life Group decided to do a lottery, picking up a person's name and do something good to her during the week.
S picked up my name and did this romantic thing for me!

でもね、彼女はジーザスがこれをするようにと言われたからしてくれたのです♪
「ジーザスからの伝言。チケットを預かっているから」って♪
カードに書かれていたことは、すでに先週の水曜日に彼女からもらった預言的ことばで、それをちゃんと書いて渡すように言われたそうです。

But the secret is that Jesus told her to do this for me.
She e-mailed me today and said "I have got a message from Jesus! I have Valentine's Dinner Ticket for you here."
The Jesus' Words on the card were what she prophesised on the last Wednesday. She wrote it to me because Jesus told her to give it to me in written form, too.

こんなにステキなプレゼントをもらったのは初めてです。最高です!!!
もう心がホカホカで、幸せで満たされちゃっています。

Well, well, well, ... this is the first time to be given such a wonderful present.
My heart is warm and filled with Happiness :))

ジーザス!あなたからの愛を受け取りました♪
いつもいつももらっているけれど、初めてこうして目に見える形であなたからいただいて、涙が出そうなくらい。もちろん目に見えるもの全てもあなたからのプレゼント。だけど、特別なメールやカード、バラの花やチョコレート、全部が本当に天国から届いた気がしたよ。
バレンタインディナー、楽しんでくるね。チケットありがとう!
っていうか、いっしょに来てくれるでしょ?(^v^)
いっしょに楽しもうね♪

Jesus, I received Your Love today! Thank You so much!!
You give Your Love to me 24/7, but I was nearly crying by being given Your Gift which I can actually see for the first time! Of course, even everything either seen or unseen is from You, but I really felt that the romantic e-mail, card, rose & chocolate were delivered from the Heaven!!!
I will enjoy the Valentine's Dinner on Saturday :)) Thank You so much for the Ticket, Jesus!
But You will come with me, right?
Let's enjoy together, ne?

S、本当にありがとう~!!
Sがジーザスの声に従順に応えてくれたからこそ、私は今こうしてSを通して贈られたジーザスからのプレゼントで心が幸せでいっぱい。。。

S, Thank you so so much!!!
Without S, humbling herself to the Lord's Voice, it could never happen.
I feel real happiness because Jesus showed me His Love, Encouragement and Hope through S!
Thank you!!!!!!!!

感謝、感謝です。
本当にありがとう!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Jesus!!!
Thank you, S!!!

He will Open the Door!

The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. (Acts 16:22-26)

In this week, God spoke me with a Scripture from Acts 16:22-26 many times.
Gradually I understood what God wanted to tell me through the Scripture.
That is, He will open the door for me when I sing praises to Him!

I was praying to God to open the right door for me if that is His Will in two areas of my life, and asked Him to close doors if I am knocking wrong ones.
The Scripture was God’s Answer to my prayers.

Today, at a big rehearsal of music team, our leaders shared messages from God. E san told us about importance that we should be connected with God and be united as one team and as a church to sing to God (from John 17:21-23).

…that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:21-23)

When she shared this message from God, I could see the picture that we, all of us having Jesus dwelling within us, sing to God together at church as “one”. What a powerful picture it was! And I could connect this picture with what God has been speaking to me, and the picture became more powerful as such God will open the new Door for Jesus Lifehouse church!!!

When we become “one” and sing praises to God, earth will tremble and the Door will be opened!!!

We Praise You, God!
We Worship You, Lord God!!
Open the New Doors for the church, Lord!
Open the New Door of this Nation, Lord Jesus!!!
Thank You, God!!! Thank You, Jesus!!!
