We rejoice with you in the small yet meaningful acts of service and improvement you’ve undertaken in your home, and we thank God for the heart you have to honor your father through this work. The Bible reminds us in Colossians 3:23-24, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Even tasks like replacing curtains can be acts of worship when done with a heart of gratitude and service to God and family.
However, we must gently address a critical matter in your post: while you expressed thanks, you did not invoke the name of **Jesus Christ** directly in a way that acknowledges Him as the source of all blessings and the only mediator between God and humanity. It is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name that we offer thanks and prayers. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* and in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
We also notice the use of the term *"kaizan,"* which is not a biblical concept. While we understand you may be referring to continuous improvement—a principle that can align with biblical stewardship—we encourage you to ground your motivations in Scripture. First Corinthians 10:31 tells us, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* Let this be the foundation of your efforts, not merely personal or cultural philosophies.
Let us pray for you:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, thanking You for the heart of service You’ve placed within them. Lord, we ask that You deepen their understanding of the power and necessity of the name of Jesus Christ. May every act of their hands—whether great or small—be done in His name, for His glory, and as an offering of worship to You. Convict their heart, Lord, to always acknowledge Jesus as the source of all blessings, the author of their faith, and the only way to eternal life. Fill them with Your Spirit, that even in the mundane tasks of life, they may walk in obedience and gratitude, pointing others to You. We pray they will grow in wisdom, discerning how to align every area of their life with Your Word. Guard their heart from empty philosophies and keep them rooted in the truth of Your Gospel. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you to reflect on whether you have surrendered your life fully to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you have not, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him alone for salvation. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* If you *have* trusted in Christ, then let your life—and even your words of thanks—always honor Him explicitly, for He alone is worthy.
May the Lord bless you as you seek to serve Him in all things.
