Live in beauty!

He said to me, “Live!”

He bathed me with water of Truth,

Washed off the blood of my wounds,

Put ointment of the Holy Spirit to heal,

Anointed my head with His fragrance,

Clothed me with golden thresh embroidered dress,

Put leather sandals of gospel on my feet,

Dressed me in fine linens of Righteousness,

Covered me with costly garment of Justice,

Adorned me with precious jewelry of fruits,

Put bracelets of love on my arms,

Put a necklace of purity on my neck,

Put a ring of grace on my nose,

Put earrings of faith on my ears,

Put a beautiful crown of honor on my head,

I’m adorned, and treated with fine food of heaven,

I become very beautiful and rise up,

To be a queen in His palace.

Jesus’ fame in me spreads among the saints,

On account of my beauty,

For Father God made my beauty perfect.

With my Bridegroom’s splendor.

(Ezekiel 16)

Rest in God alone

My soul rests in God alone,

My hope comes from only Him.

My honor depends on Him only,

My mighty rock and refuge is He.

To Him I pour out my heart in trust,

I do not set my heart on temporary success,

But rejoice in His heavenly reward,

All being stored up for me.

Rest in Him, my fortress and salvation,

Never will be shaken, both God and me.

人を富ませるのは主の祝福。

人の苦労は何も増し加えない。

(Psalm 62, Proverbs 10:22)

God defines my success of victory

The success God defines for me,

Is to be an overcomer of victory,

To freely do His good will without fear,

Like the good and faithful servant,

Uses what he has been granted,

To invest and harvest.

So I invest my time in praying,

My good senses in writing, playing music, reading, speaking, teaching, reading, thinking, drawing, cooking, exercising, 

All the things God touches my heart to enjoy.

Then I give thanks as an offering to God,

to please His heart to see me,

As His child being so joyful in Him.

Prayer reaches into the future

Reach into the future through prayer,

For my son and my son-in-law,

To flourish in their youth,

Like well-nurtured plants and finish strong to the end;

For my daughter and daughter-in-law

To be like graceful pillars,

Carved by Jesus Christ to beautify the palace,

Strong and sturdy to bear the weight of life.

May all the generations of my descendants

Be fruitful for God in the everlasting Kingdom.

(Psalm 144:12)

Jesus is my Love

You cannot be a writer and not be in love.

Yes. I am a writer and I found the One I deeply fall in love with.

May my pen be skilled,

In speaking up all about His radiant awesome love.

Praying for rest

Praying is resting for the soul,

That God teaches me this early morning,

When my body whines for taking a break,

But God gives me strength to wake up.

Praying with a dear sister,

Who is God’s helper,

To quench my thirst again.

By His living water of the Holy Spirit,

He consoles me to persevere in praying,

Seeing God’s wonders accomplished beyond my planning.

As long as I abide in Him,

His grace and wisdom flow into me and out of me,

Even in the midst of a dark valley.

His mercy always rules,

And faithfully leads me,

Along with my beloveds ones

Through and through,

Until soaring on His mighty wing.

(Psalm 143:6)

May God reveal

Only God’s Spirit knows God’s plan,

May God reveal His words to me,

Knowing His attributes more and deeper.

So I may nurture many people with my lips and writing,

To build up the faith of the mature saints

Strongly, firm and focus on Jesus Christ alone.

(Proverbs 10:21a, 1 Corinthians 2:13)

Put God first

Turn to God in worship,

Renounce detestable practices through confession,

Preach Good news,

Console the children of God,

All in Jesus Christ’s mighty name.

For we could only save ourselves 

By His righteousness on that Day.

My spirit is leading my soul

To rule over the thoughts and body

When the order is set up right,

No more hindered from earthly burden,

Go ahead, overcome, leave the earthly trash behind

Not trapped by the physical bondage,

Then my spirit is free to conquer idols,

Just put Greater God above and before.

(Ezekiel 14:6, 22)

Jesus wins

My spirit follows the Holy Spirit,

Practice makes me strong,

To discipline my mind to fear God, not any other men.

To train my body, enslave it, not vice versa.

For God is my Portion,

He is enough.

For my spirit is free,

With God, what can mortal men do to me?

With God’s aid against my enemies, I shall gain the victory.

I ask God for wisdom to comfort Anne,

He says the loving truth through my lips;

He cradles Anne through my arms;

He wraps His love around Anne in truth of love:

You belong to Me,

You are my beloved.

You are never alone,

For I’m with you.

(Psalm 142:5, Psalm 60:11-12)

For my benefit

For the benefit of foolish me,

God has made Jesus united with me,

For being my Wisdom,

He made me right with God,

By making me pure and holy,

Freeing me from sins of death,

To partnership with Jesus Christ,

To preach Good news,

To save those who believe in Him.

(1 Corinthians 1:30)
