The Birth of Love—the Saviour

Isaiah 43:18-19

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

God has carried out the ideal history, the ideal world, in each time period. In each time period, through the prophets or central figures whom God sent, and in the New Testament by sending the Messiah Jesus, God fulfilled His Will.

To say that you are going to fulfill it is easy, but to actually fulfill it is hard. It’s great to have the determination to do something or to set your mind to do something. However, fulfilling it in actuality is not an easy thing to do.

God is doing new work in reality

It is by working hard that we are doing God’s new work. It’s not something that we just do. It’s so hard to fulfill it. Right now is important.

In this way, in fulfilling anything, it requires hard work and going through a great deal of difficulty. But, the purpose is ultimately fulfilled.

In this way, things are achieved by going through many difficulties. Things are not fulfilled and brought about easily. The Will of God is fulfilled in the midst of such great difficulty; that’s why the person who has set his mind to fulfil it must do it until the end.

Surely, you have to fulfil God’s purpose.

When doing new work, it’s exciting

When you do old work, you don’t want to do it any longer. Why? Because even if you get it done, it’s still old work.

The new work is to go to the places where new work is done and to carry out history together with the Holy Trinity and with others. You have to work together.

In this way, when doing any kind of work, there are times when the conditions are great, but there are times when the conditions are very bad. Sometimes, opportunities come in a very unfavorable way. Even though it comes in an unfavorable way, don’t grieve about it but jump on it and get it done. You have to get it done.

In this way, I’m telling you, fulfilling the Will is difficult. However, if you fulfill the Will, then you will gain. You receive blessings whether you go in or come out.

Whether you are young or old, if you’ve heard the Word, then participate in the new work together.

Right now is so important

What is important? Right now. This time and this moment are important.

When doing new work, it’s not done in the same way as old work. New work is done in a new way, in a beautiful way, and in an unblemished way. We are the owners of that work, so we have to monitor what gets done. We should do it with a sharp attitude and mindset.

Right now is a precious time. Right now is a valuable time. People have regrets later and say, “Oh, why didn’t I hear it at that time?” The people who are growing right now grow a lot. People who don’t grow become stagnant.

You have to keep recording the good Word, of which there’s an abundance. And think about the key points. Write down the key points and put those words into practice.

As God is doing the new work, I wish for you to be His hands and feet, work efficiently, and make it joyful for Him.
