Do you value friendships?

A wise old man gave a valuable demonstration, from which we can learn a great lesson.

No other name has been given.

Facing reality, at times in life various kinds of sacrifices are required from us, whether small acts of kindness or really giving up something valuable, depending on life’s circumstances, in order to help others.

Let’s remember the most valuable sacrifice.

Words … we all use many words every day.

Praise the Lord if you can communicate well, give thanks for functioning ears, eyes, tongue etc.

Every word spoken also resembles a seed that is planted, having effects onto the future.

We can learn a lot from the sportspeople, such as athletes during the competition games.

For example the runners: they fully focus on the goal.

They do not think about other things in that moment.

On what do you focus?

There are many reasons to complain about.

Do you also tend to complain?

About the circumstances?

About the church?

About the shortcomings of other Christians?

There are more important things to focus on.

The path into the future holds many uncertainties.

What will happen? What will be?

It is good to have someone to guide us.

To whom do we listen?

Many people offer to guide us.

They want us to go their ways.

But do they know what they talk about? Is it true and useful what they tell us?

Better to have a reliable source.

Is it possible to be too young or too old for the ministry of God?

Or course, different tasks require different skills.

We have limited possibilities, but God has unending resources.

In the end the question is not about age.

The animals in der wilderness have different strategies of hunting.

Some may chase their prey.

Others will hide first in order not to be noticed, waiting until the prey animal shows signs of weakness.

We as humans, are also under attack in various ways.

It may nowadays no more be by wild animals, but the thread remains in other ways.

By the time of his birth … and still today it is the same:

People do not want to give any major room to Jesus.

How much room do you give to him in your life?
