  Moving about in worlds not realised,

It was my belief that Japan was, at this very moment, seeking a way to surrender with a minimum loss of 'face.'

• Rezo por ti, para que todos tus recelos se fundan en acciones de gracias. Recuerda que la sombra que una cosa proyecta a menudo excede con mucho el tamaño de la cosa misma (especialmente si la luz está baja en el horizonte) y aunque algún temor futuro pueda pavonearse en valiente oscuridad mientras te acercas, la cosa misma no será más que un puntito cuando se vea desde más allá. Oh, que Él nos devolviera a menudo ese "aspecto del más allá", para ver una cosa como Él la ve, para recordar que Él trata con nosotros como con hijos.

  Jim Elliot
