======Attractive Things ...======
Monday, January 30, 2012. What is attractive? What attracts me?
What makes me feel better? Is there something which really makes
me move, wakes me up, keeps me awake?

**Sports, Books, Food, ...**
I like doing some sports, jogging, playing basketball or football. It is attractive.
It is just great. It is great fun to feel my body, to run, to go for a goal,
to score ... It is fantastic and attractive to do sports. For me, that is great!
Some people are attracted by books. My kids love to read Harry Potter and other
phantasy books. They can spend hours and hours sitting in some corner and reading.
Thy are attracted by books, by the right kind of books with fantastic stories,
with exciting events and characters. There are so many different things which
can be attractive!
I like food. I am not the gourmet, not the one who needs very special things
which make me feel good. Just getting some doner or a pizza is completely fine
with me. Or some cheese and a red wine. There are many affordable things which
can be attractive and nice for body and soul.

**God's Beauty ...**
When we talk about attractive things, I also need to mention faith. I need to talk
about the Lord. He is not as easily comprehensible as other things which surround
us daily. He is the eternal God and eternal Lord, beyond all our
experience and our reason, but also close to us through his word and his spirit.
He is the most beautiful Lord, the great fantastic Lord, the one to be praised!
One can be highly attracted by the Lord, indeed!
If you want to grasp the beauty of sports, you need to do sports. If you want
to grasp the beauty of a book, start to read it! If you want to feel the attraction
of some food, you should start to eat it, try it. That also applies to the Lord.
If you want his beauty to enter your life, start to open up for him. Start to
talk to him. Start to believe in him!
There are many attractive things in this world. But nothing compares to the
Lord. He is the source of attraction, the source of all beauty.
