卒業によせて
Today, 28th of February is the day of graduation for high schools in nearby cities where I live. There was a male student I had been teaching at cram school. Since he passed a college admission exam, he brought a Japanese history textbook to study during the time with me. Today, he is also one of the students who are going to graduate from high school and proceed to study at college. May he have a great future ahead as he goes to college.
Anyway, I was just chatting with him yesterday, talking about Christian faith, and how I became Christian while studying abroad. For me, being born again Christian was a turning point in my life. From then, I followed the path of Christ. I shared my experiences and miracles that I had witnessed during my exchange year when I was in high school with him. I got excited as I talked, feeling the sense of fire in my heart and getting more passionate about the Lord, Jesus Christ. I just hope and pray that he could grasp the glimpse of my heart for the Lord, and that one day, he might come to realize what I was talking about. My wish is that ten years, twenty years down the road, he would retrospect the words I spoke to him. May God bless him with abundant grace. May he become a great teacher in school someday, which is his dream. Congratulations on your graduation!
