3:4 (Titus) But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. 

Lord Jesus, You are the kindness of God, You are the love of God personified. Your mercy endures forever.

Thank You, Lord God, for not forsaking fallen mankind. We were deceived and in pride chose not to believe in You and listened to the lies of Your enemy. The truth is that You desire much more for us than we can imagine. You love us, You have no intention of holding out on us. Father God, You did not withhold Your Beloved Son from us, how will You not with Him freely give us all things. And we have been given everything pertaining to life and godliness! So we believe that You earnestly desire to show mercy to the people of Japan. To the people of all the nations. As You send Your people to them, cause the gospel they hear to be met with faith that You have given. Give them grace to receive the Spirit of the Son into their hearts. So they, too, can be born-again to walk in newness of life! And You restore Your people back to Your loving arms. Jesus is coming soon! We want to be those that long for His appearing. Give grace that we all, from every nation (including Japan), tribe, and language would be in that number. 

By faith. In Jesus’ name we pray.
