+ | God can be there day by day. He is there to talk to us. He WILL answer, when we ask him. He really wants | ||
+ | us to live with him and to talk to him. He wants to be companion, guide, Lord. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You cannot work out the purpose of God in your life on one day. It needs to be worked out day by day, | ||
+ | year by year. You need to search him, to read his word, to listen and listen and listen. And you need to | ||
+ | do. Only then, you will be able to learn more, and to hear him. There is no connection to the Lord | ||
+ | without the willingness to hear and do. | ||
+ | Honestly, I need God. And I believe that every human needs him. The world needs God. Only then, we can | ||
+ | find our personal path to sustainable behaviour, to love and forgiveness, | ||
+ | can be the power and force to me personally to go deep with my mind and my emotions. | ||
+ | There is so much to discover. Let us follow this up in the new year 2020, when the grace of the Lord | ||
+ | allows us to do so. Let us live with him, listen to him, search truth and reality, love and forgiveness. | ||
+ | With joy and excitement I am looking ahead, what the Lord has prepared for me, and for you, and for | ||
+ | all of us! | ||
