What is “true love”? The answer was hidden within the character 愛 (ai), meaning “love.” What this character reveals is the love of God.
The character 愛 is made up of four parts: a “claw,” a “crown,” a “heart,” and a “leg.” The claw represents the great hand of God. The crown represents the blessing given by God. The heart represents becoming one in heart with God. The leg represents walking together with God.
In other words, 愛 (love) means this: those who become one in heart with God and walk together with Him will be blessed by God. By placing God at the center in this way, the meaning hidden within the character for love became clear to me.
As I wrote the character 愛 roughly a thousand times, the “leg” stroke naturally began to take the shape of a sword. This sword represents the “sword of the Holy Spirit,” which is God’s judgment carried out in love. The character I had written was showing me a heavenly principle: those who follow God are blessed, and those who do not are judged. In other words, the wicked and Satan are judged, while the righteous who follow God become blessed. And even the righteous, in order to keep growing in the right direction, face this loving judgment whenever they stray off course.
This guidance through the character for love began when I first encountered the words shared on the RAPT blog. Strongly recommended by my older sister, I began reading it, and found within it a world of truth beyond anything I had imagined, along with the joy of realizing that God truly exists. Today, God’s words continue to be proclaimed through the RAPT blog, and now the words of the Holy Spirit, who is described there as a female God, are being proclaimed as well. The dark age in which Adam and Eve were deceived and ruled by Satan has ended, and with a new Adam and Eve now established, the age of heaven on earth has begun. I sincerely pray that more righteous people will continue to emerge, and that many will receive eternal blessing.

The Miracle of Love and Peace
What is the most important thing in this world? About ten years before I wrote this character, in November 2013, I got married and was blessed with a son. Five days after he was born, a wonderful miracle took place.
After coming home from the hospital for the first time as a family, my wife and I were surrounded by a deep sense of happiness. At that moment, a question suddenly came to mind, and I asked it aloud: “What is the most important thing in this world?” To our astonishment, our newborn son answered: “Ai” (love). We could hardly believe our ears, but since both my wife and I heard it together, we knew he truly had said “love.”
I immediately asked a second question: “Then what is the second most important thing?” And our baby, only days old, answered again: “Heiwa” (peace). It was a wonderful miracle. My wife and I looked at each other, sharing in the emotion of the moment. Our newborn baby had spoken the words “love” and “peace.”
Why did I ask that question at that moment? Why did such a miracle happen? Several years later, I encountered the RAPT blog and came to learn the true meaning of “love and peace.” The words my son spoke just five days after birth, it would take me another ten years to understand what they truly meant.
