Today I went to a cafe near my office. Then the plate happened to come to me, with “Thank you”. It was me, who wanted to thank him. But I received this message.
Actually, today was the 5,000th day since I started praying while bathing in cold water. I was looking forward to the day of today for a few months.
Do you think of me as a strong-willed person? I don’t think so.
He made me want to do it, want to keep it. No one tells me to continue it, because I kept it secret. But he gave me the feeling of wanting to. And always, places were given to me to take a cold shower.
Now I feel that the joy, sadness, suffering and angry during this period are all the grace. Given that I’m alive here. I’d like to say aloud to the sky high, what a great grace! Maybe in the future, sometimes I may not be able to feel this grace, but I can pray for it, “Please make me not to forget my present grace.”
Through this, not only a healthy body, but also so many things I got. I can’t tell them all. But certainly I can say, by doing very little, he gives us very big things. He is my dear God.
And I’ll start new things so it’s OK to tell one of my this secret. Having secrets between he and I is so exciting. So what is my new thing? I don’t want to tell, God only knows!
