You are

You are not someone that doesn’t really matter if you are or not. You are someone that must exist. You are not the one that shouldn’t exist. Who says “I cause trouble to others.”? Who says “I am a burden to others and only a troublemaker…　may be better I shall not exist”? You are absolutely needed. You may not know quite well about yourself. Who you think you are is not who you really are. You are someone that’s needed more than you think. If you were gone, how awful that would be. A world without you is a loss for the world. No matter what people say, you are a treasure to the world. You are a special someone that must exist. Are you a foreigner? Or are you a child? Are you already very old? Are you physically challenged? Do you have an illness? Is your mind emotionally unstable? Do you not have work? Do you not have an educational background or career? Do you not have money? Is your faith little? Even if all of these are about you, it cannot be the reason that denies how precious you really are. You are created, loved, and cared for as a very precious one by God. You are His creation, beloved one, and masterpiece! We desperately need you. Absolutely you are very needed. The church cannot be without you. Whatever people may say, you are very needed in your office, your family, your school, and wherever God has placed you. It is a blessing to all that you exist. You, who God so loved that gave His only begotten Son, is a wonderful blessing to the church, and also to the world. There you are is love of God indeed. Let’s live together as the body of Christ in His love. It is the will of God. ​ Pastor Takeshi
