Historical Perspective

Dad going back to the States

It is good to see things within a historical perspective …  I received this letter from my dad.  ”Yes, for several days now we’ve been listening to the news about the Sendai earthquake and tsunami…. In 1954 when I first came on a freighter from Seattle and Yokohama was completely level because of bombing.  There was a strange emptiness in me but I realized that the Lord called me to Japan.   ‘For God so loved the world (Japan also) was the verse He gave me… God gave to us HIS one and only Unique Son Jesus…. therefore I obeyed Him and made ready to go to Japan as His servant!  I’ve been through WW2 and Japan , then, was my enemy but they became my neighbor.  Only God can do that!

God can change us inside out … He can help us to love when loving is hard.  He can give us strength when we are weak.
