Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

1 Corinthians Chapter 13 is…🤔
It's a wonderful chapter that speaks specifically about love.
…When I was in high school,
I was taught a way to find out the size, height, breadth, and depth of my own love❗️.
It's called spirituality…
…For example…🤔

Let's replace the word "love" with "your own name"❗️
…"Takeshi is tolerant"😳
"Kazumi is kind"
By replacing it with your own name like this, you can understand your spirituality❗️.
…At that time…I realized how little love I had😥
…I saw the parts that I needed to repent and change😢
…When you compare it with God's word…just like looking in a mirror🪞
You can see what you really are❗️
…It's been about 50 years since then🤔
But even now, I still look in the mirror🪞 of God's word😳💦
and repent…

…I encourage you all to check your own spiritual state and the depth of your love by looking in the mirror of God's word 🪞.

Shalom 😃
