この地に希望と喜びが
|
２０１２年、初のボランテア旅行は、被災地への訪問、仮設住宅での傾聴、炊き出し、雑草取りなどでした。最終日には、被災した色々な場所を車で案内していただきました。このころは、ほとんどの被災地は、瓦礫が綺麗に撤去され、建物のコンクリートの土台だけが残ってる状態でした。主イエスは、被災跡をみるのに心を捕らわれている私の心の目を開いて、こう語られました。“これらの場所は、年月が建てばいずれは跡かたも無くすべて修復されるだろう。でも、人の心はどうなんだろう。人の心もこれらの残骸や瓦礫のようにズタズタではないのか。いったい誰がこの人たちの心の痛みや傷を知り、癒すことができるのだろうか。”
（恵利子モア, ＣＤジャケットからの抜粋）
全てが流されてしまった。でも気づいて欲しい。真の復興は、人々の心から来る。心が癒され、心から立ち直って欲しい。“この地に希望と喜びが”は、震災後の東北の地に、これから起ることを聖書の御ことばをもとにして預言的に書いた曲です。
In 2012, our first volunteer trip to Tohoku, Japan, we visited temporary housing, listened to the residents, prepared food , removed weeds from a garden and the like. On the last day, we took a bus tour around the disaster areas in Miyagi Prefecture. At this time all of the debris was piled up. All that was visible
was hundreds of concrete foundations, large buildings tipped on their side and steel girders that once had walls. While I was busy looking at these remains through the car window Jesus spoke to my heart saying, "As time goes by these places will be rebuilt as if nothing happed before. However, what about people's hearts? Don't you think people are wounded and hurt in the same way the buildings were broken into pieces? Who can know and understand these people's wounds and hurts? Who can heal their broken hearts?"
(See CD jacket for more detail)
All things were washed away by Tsunami. But I want you to notice that the true rebuilding of Tohoku will come from the restoration of peoples' hearts. I want to see them healed and the Tohoku area be revived! The song, "Hope and Joy in This Land". is written prophetically. based on the Word of God, proclaiming what will happen to Tohoku in the future.
