New Year's Eve 2019/2020...

Monday, Dez 30, 2019. Hello friend! The year 2019 has come to its end, 2020 is starting tomorrow. How are you doing? What is it that moves you? What are you looking forward to in 2020? What is still worrying you?

Today I had a coffee with a friend. It was very nice to see her again, after quite a while where we did not have time to talk to each other. But we had only an hour, and I thought afterwards, that it was a pity that we did not really talk about life, about what is important, about our faith, our questions, our hopes and dreams. To some extend, we talked about dreams, and about personal developments. But there could be so much more!

God is worth it …

What is it that we should think about at the end of the year? It would be good to think back and thank for all good things. It would be good to mourn about all losses. Tears are good, when they are tears about really valuable people and valuable things, which we lost.

We could think about what we managed to do in the past 12 month. What were the successes which we were able to achieve? What were the things which went really well?

It is always good to think about people we love. When we focus on our love, we can forget about all other things. Success and failure looses its importance in the presence of mere love. And indeed, this approach to life is much better than anything else. And there are people we love. There are things we are interested in, which we love to do. If we do something just because we love it, what else can we achieve when we have time to do it? There is nothing else. We have arrived.

But human things alone cannot fill our heart. There is the origin and ultimate goal of all what is, which we need to find. It is God, who is the origin of love, and he is the center of love which lets us come home completely.

God is worth to talk about him. He is worth to search him. He is worth to talk To and WITH him and to live with him.

Looking ahead …

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2Kor 13,14)
