[Scriptures] Ecclesiastes 12:1-2, 7
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”- before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
And the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Whether they are things of the past or things of the present,
you must be sure to remember the things you should remember.
Then you will also have joy.
If you have forgotten something from your thoughts,
even after being happy, the joy will disappear right away.
If you remember it again, then joy will spring up once more.
Having forgotten something from your memory is like having lost a great treasure of yours.
Therefore, the joy that comes from that will also disappear.
You have to remember
the Word that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son gave in the past
and the things that the Trinity did for you through the Lord,
and you also must rejoice and take action every day.
Then those items will not disappear from your memory.
When you are receiving the Word, you have to empty your thoughts.
But after receiving the Word, you have to fill your thoughts
with that Word and take action on it without ever forgetting it.
You must not simply remember, but you must also take action,
then at the same time, joy will come and you will also gain things.
Therefore, I hope that you will surely remember
God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son and eternal things,
remember the Word that God gave you through the Lord,
and remember God’s Will toward you,
and put those thoughts into practice with your body.
