Silent Time

At which point are you in the journey of life?

Do you at times feel as if things do not go ahead, there is no progress?

We might be crushed or broken, yet do not give up! There is hope and help available.

Whether things are perfect or whether the way is tough, remember the goal.

What is the source of life?

It is obvious that the parents have given life to the child, who later grows up.

But how do we find a fulfilled life?

How can we know whether a sermon tells the truth? How can we find out whether a book or an article are based on the reality?

Does your reputation matter to you? Some people care a lot about their reputation, others claim that they do not care. But somehow it matters to everybody.

The question is: the reputation at whose end do we care? Do you mainly focus on what your boss thinks about you? Or your colleagues? Or what your neighbours say? Or the opinion of other people of society?

Whom do you admire?

People of all times have admired the famous people, those that have special abilities, extraordinary skills.

A lot of things change over the centuries, and it looks as if the change is getting faster and faster. But some things remain. The one who deserves the highest admiration, he also remains. 

What characteristics does a good relationship have between a mentor and a mentee, between parents and their children, between a good teacher and eager students willing to learn?

They know each other.

They trust each other.

And we can learn much more from Psalm 23.

A good government will do a lot for the citizens.

And even more, good parents will do a lot for their children, who in such a sense enjoy special privileges.

These pictures are weak compared to what God does for his people. And everybody is invited to join and to enjoy those special privileges.

What is your philosophy of life?

Do you only believe in yourself and in the things that you have under control, your own accomplishments?

What do we do amongst all the challenges, difficulties and threats in the world?

What do we do if we have too many tasks but not enough time to do it all?

Whom would you like to talk to most?

To a famous person, a president or a minister? To other authorities or influential persons?

Or would you like to get into a conversation with a person whom you have fallen in love with but did not have a chance to tell yet?
