On July 24, a powerful earthquake rocked regions in northeastern Japan including Iwate and Aomori, for the second time in a month. Although it caused little damage, it stirred feelings of anxiety and apprehension among the people.

In response to Master’s compassionate instruction, fellow initiates in Japan rushed to provide assistance. They visited schools and hospitals, to check on those who had been injured or affected by the earthquake, and offer words of consolation and share with them the newly released Japanese edition of Master’s book The Dogs in My Life, hoping to bring calm and peace to their hearts. In a hospital, they met a lady with her newborn son. When the baby’s brother saw the book, he was overjoyed, saying that he loved dogs very much.

At Hironocho, the strong tremors left more than a dozen schools badly damaged. Local government officials promised to distribute copies of the book to the schools when they re-opened after the summer holidays. They realized that the loving dog characters in the book could help restore a sense of normalcy in the lives of the students. Fellow initiates also gave some relief cash and Master’s book to an old lady, who accepted the gifts with much gratitude. She thanked them for coming such a long way to help.

In Kuji City, the initiates brought much needed water and the dog books for distribution. Members of the area relief task force understood the soothing effect The Dogs in My Life would have on local residents, and one of them said, “This book can be a great source of comfort. Please give priority to distributing it with the water.” Master’s love could be felt shining on the people as they queued at the water trucks, and each received a bottle of mineral water and a copy of Her happy dog book.

With Master’s perfect arrangement, the initiates were able to deliver Her Love to people truly in need. On the way home, they witnessed the promising golden sunset and felt grateful to God for Hiers divine love to humankind.
