Do You Cherish God's Word?
Do You Cherish God's Word?
Psalm 107:20 says,
He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions.
God has given us His Word for our benefit, and yet so many
Christians ignore it to their hurt.
It is like the story of the woman a preacher went to visit one day. She lived in a dilapidated house. As long as he had known her, she had struggled with poverty. Twenty years earlier she had been the housekeeper for the wealthiest woman in town, but the wealthy
woman had died. So this housekeeper moved into an old shack.
As the pastor was visiting her, he noticed a document framed on the wall. He said, “Do you mind if I borrow this for a few days?” She replied, “Well, you can borrow it, but please bring it back. Although I can’t read, it is very important to me. It is the only thing that the lady left me when she died. It is very valuable to me. It reminds me of her. So make sure you bring it back.”
He took it and had it investigated and authenticated. It was the will of the woman who had died, and in the will she left her housekeeper a fortune. The housekeeper could have had any house she wanted in the whole city and had servants of her own, but due to her ignorance, she lived in poverty and had a rough go of it all those years.
That woman reminds me of a lot of Christians. They don’t read their Bible, but they admire it because it reminds them of God. They haven’t taken time to find out the inheritance that belongs to them as believers.
God’s Word is a light to our path. It is our guidebook for life. It is bread for our spirit. It is our strength. It is our refuge in troubled times.
Cherish God’s Word.

Bonnfahrt
naja da hatten so manche gerade ne Konferenz mit unseren Lehrern, wegen Verstoß gegen die Regel und ich schau zu :)
Nach dem kleinen Eugen, der nur die Größe von Frau Grein hatte ;), wurde die deutsche Postzentrale benannt: "der lange Eugen"
Wir standen an dem Zaun vom ehemaligen Bundeskanzleramt, an dem Schröder gerüttelt hatte und geschrien hatte: "Ich will da rein!" :)
Haben die tolle Uni besucht, die insgesamt 38000 Studenten beherbergt ;)
waren im Haus der Geschichte der BRD.
Und wisst ihr schon warum Bonn überhaupt Hauptstadt wurde? Tzja... also das war so: Die Entscheidung musste zwischen Bonn und Frankfurt getroffen werden. Da die englische Besetzung in Frankfurt keine Entmilitarisierung wollte und die amerikanische Besatzung Bonn frei gab. Setzte sich Adenauer besonders für Bonn ein und auch deswegen, weil Adenauer gerne seinen Regierungssitz vor der Haustür haben wollte ;)
Außerdem haben es uns die Franzosen in der Juhe neben uns angetan, die sich nach der ersten Nacht heftigst beschwert hatten, zurecht, uns aber in der zweiten Nacht wegen jedem kleinsten Geräusch aufweckten, weil sie sich anscheinend gestört fühlten, von was auch immer. Ich hab jedenfalls gut geschlafen. Ich glaube denen sind echt langsam die Haare auf der Zunge gewachsen....
Naja alles in allem war es ne richtig gute Zeit.
Be blessed,
-Julia :D

so wonderful...
Lord, - here I am. I will bow my knees and worship you, my Saviour.
You alone, you hold the universe in your mighty hands.
And though you are so great and powerful, you know me, you love me.
- How can it be, that you reign in all the earth and keep me in your arms, my God?
Nor heights nor depths, no devil, no decision made without you, no man, no evil can ever separate me from your love.
Lord, - I know: Your mercy never ends. I’ll rest in you. You hold me close, in your loving arms. You love me!
Hold me close. Never let me go! I am so weak but I will trust in your power.
Your arms are open wide and I’ll run into them…
I love your presence, Lord. It’s you I seek with all my heart.
Let me know you more, - your heart!
Change my mind! It’s you alone who has the power to overcome the world.
And you live in me. So I will live for all eternity!
I will live in your love, - a love so full of selflessness and forgiveness.
Where can I find you? … I don’t know where to go… hey you found me!
When I was all alone, you came and said: “My child, your father is right here, next to you.”
What do you want from me?”, I didn’t know what to response. – But he looked at me with loving eyes and spoke to me:
“ I just like to be with you. Share with me your life, your feelings, your whole being. I’ll never disappoint you! I am your heavenly father. And there is nothing in the world who can give you all that what you really need. I am the only one who can heal you, your heart, your mind and give you a totally new understanding of the world you live in.
- Your ways are in my hands. So never give up! I am with you, - all of your days and I have treasures in my rooms… they’re for you my child!
Take them! I give them for free!
- Darling, you know what? – Live obedient to my word and never look back into the past. You are a new creation. My Son lives in you. You are my beloved daughter and my Son died for you… even for your enemies. Forgive and I will forgive.”
“Oh Father, it’s so hard. I do not know… I can’t do that… it hurts so much. - But your heart also hearted when you gave your son. You never acted according to your feelings. You made a decision which meant: Giving your only Son to save the world… and me within this world. Lord, although I am wounded and disappointed from persons you probably know, because know me inside out. Lord, I decide to forgive and I will never look back, God.”
The Father watched his beloved daughter and kissed softly her cheek. He stroked her hair and with his other arm he hugged her.
“I love you. You see, at the moment it seems that there is no change. – But wait and trust in me. I can work when you give up all the things you hold so close.”
“Oh Father. I am so glad you found me. You are my all and I never want to lose you my God! I never knew how easy it feels if I give you everything…lay all my burdens at the cross.
- Why did I keep it so long for myself? Why didn’t I give up earlier?
Oh Daddy, yeah you’re my Daddy! Oh how I long for you!
My sticking to my justification or self-defence or whatever kept me away from your love. Kiss away my tears and I can laugh again.”
