====== Good for us ... ====== | ====== Good for us ... ====== | ||
- | Monday, April 29, 2019. | + | Monday, April 29, 2019. What is good for us today? I am thinking about input for our life, |
+ | for our thoughts, for our reasoning about our business and social activities. What would | ||
+ | be good to get as input, as impulse, as inspiration? | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are, today, in the middle of new social conflicts. Human history has never been without | ||
+ | conflicts, and today there are so many conflicts active everywhere in the world. Migration is | ||
+ | just an indicator - with people searching a better life, a better world! | ||

** My Path ... ** | ** My Path ... ** | ||
+ | When you think about your own path in all of this, what is it that is prominent in your mind? | ||
+ | Is it your own struggle with life, your own challenges? Is it a threat at the border? Is it | ||
+ | social conflict, or more general problems such as climate change or environmental pollution? | ||
+ | Without doubt, there are many problems, and we are challenged on many levels. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you search for a balance, what is giving you the power to come to good and wise solutions? | ||
+ | What ARE wise solutions? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Life is more than the struggle between countries, the struggle between people or the | ||
+ | everlasting vilification on basically everyone which you read day by day in media and newspapers. | ||
+ | Life can be fantastic and fascinating, | ||
+ | nature and humans to technology and science. It can be fantastic to experience friendship | ||
+ | and joy. But there is also pain and illness. Go to a hospital, and experience the suffering | ||
+ | of so many with strokes, cancer and all different types of bodily decay. Wisdom also needs | ||
+ | to take into account all these aspects of life! | ||
+ | |||
+ | And life is more than our daily struggle. It is more than what we do day by day. It is the | ||
+ | routine as well as the special event. It is new things, new insight, surpassing limits and | ||
+ | boundaries. There is so much we have not yet done. Beyond our own fear there is joy and | ||
+ | beauty to find! | ||

- | ** Why? ... ** | + | ** Bible Inspiration |
+ | |||
+ | The biblical inspiration is a unique point of input. These texts take up all parts of human life. | ||
+ | Birth and death, struggle and peace, joy and beauty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beyond what we usually think about when we search peace, the bible also talks about the human | ||
+ | desire to find a home and a father and mother. It talks about guilt and justice. It talks about | ||
+ | humanity, about compassion, about brotherhood and sisterhood. | ||
+ | There is no other book, no other source, which would take up the development of mankind in a way | ||
+ | we find in the whole bible, with the Old Testament and the New Testment. Partly, it is a history | ||
+ | book, ranging back into 4-6000 years of human history. But it is much more, it is a living | ||
+ | inspiration, | ||
+ | The bible is truly good for us, for you and for me! Take this book, and meet with Christians to | ||
+ | read it, to explore it, to live with it and to believe in it. It is the written world, which is | ||
+ | full of life and hope and future. | ||
