+** My own steps ...**
+What are my own steps when it comes to God? Let us discuss two scenarios. First, assume someone does
+not know God. But he or she might have a faint idea that God might be interesting or fantastic. What would
+you do? You would go and start to find our more! You would search God. You would try to discuss God
+with people who could know more. This approach is reasonable and constructive!
+Search for believing Christians! Search for Christians who live with Jesus, and then start to discuss
+the questions with them. There are various churches in each and every town, where you find believers.
+Go and search, and God himself has promised that he will give you answers, that he can be found!
+But let us also talk about the second scenario: assume you get to know God. Assume you start to realize
+that God is there, indeed. Assume you start to realize how fantastic God is, how holy, full of eager
+justice, full of mercy, of compassion, of love and truth and light! Then, you start to discover the
+treasure which is in him.
+Go and give all the other treasures to get to him, to buy his treasure. It is part of the story of
+God, that he is the source of life. We cannot hold anything against him. We cannot buy our one life,
+except by realizing that all comes from him, and all belongs to him. We will give all we have, to be
+free to fully meet him. Here, with him, true freedom comes! His kingdom is a pearl so valuable, that
+even the largest kingdoms of our planet are mere dust in comparison, just a second of time in eternity.
+When we start to meet him we realize great value, far beyond our wildest dreams.
