+** Our Heart ...**
+God wants us to trust him. We are to trust him with all what we are. That is the most important
+part. It is not just about rules, not just about doing this or that. Of course, it will be relevant
+to what we do. But that is what Jesus does in the Sermon on the Mount. He pulls behaviour from
+rules to "existence". He touches our attitudes, our thoughts, our emotions - not only the external
+layer of our actions. He does not want us to pretend, but to be!
+Jesus wants to touch our heart. He touches all what we are, the center of our life, our existence,
+our trust, our will.
+Christian faith is not just an ethical system. It is, indeed, no system at all. It is the encounter
+with the living God, through his son Christ Jesus. It is much more than mere ethics!
+It is good when we ask ourselves: do we trust him? Where are we? Do we understand? Do we believe in him?
+Do his words reach me, do they reach my heart, my life? If no, we should ask him to come and give
+us more insight, to talk to us, to touch us! We can ask him in prayer. If yes, we should tell him, we
+should trust our life into his hands, explicitly, by telling him that we want him to be the Lord and
+God of our own personal life.
