Fully alive!

Love does not boast, it is not proud. It is humble, it teaches us to go low and slow. I learned a lot about this from Daniel, a homeless disabled guy from Romania. The way we met was, of course, supernatural. The Lord highlighted him to me with a beam of light while I was walking down the busy shopping street in the city center. First I just passed him, because I did not know how to approach him. It was a hot summer day, so the Lord told me to bring him some water. Great! I can do that! He was sitting on the ground, his deformed feet stretched before him. So I kneeled and asked if he is thirsty, if he would like some water. He did not really understand, so I showed him a bottle. He said yes and we started talking. Then we ate  and drank coffee together. I said I believe in Jesus, he said he believes as well, he was brought up as catholic. That surprised me, somehow I assumed that he is not a believer. It must have been extremely hard to trust God in all he has been throu...

Do you know a person, who acts always the same? Regardless his/her own moods, hardships or circumstances? Person who is really steady? It is not easy with so many things going on around.. We often react in a way that we regret later on. Apostle Paul in 1. Corinthean chapter 3 says: „We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! We are thirsty and hungry, in rags, brutally treated, homeless. We work hard with our hands. When we are cursed, we bless, when we are persecuted, we endure it, when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world - right up to this moment." How could they do this? I believe because they loved Jesus and they witnessed His steadfast love for them, that even death could not stop. I am a very active person, even my boss used to laugh (in a good way) about my 'hyperactivity' as he called it. I looove to move, i...

I made a habit of spending my first hour of the day with the Lord. One morning, praying, out of nothing, I heard an instruction to invite my neighbours for supper. My respond was: this is not going to work out, but because it is You, Lord, I wil do it. But I actually just wanted to prove Him, that this one He got wrong, expecting all neighbours to reject the invitation. So I wrote cards, inviting them and asking about possible dates. I knew all my neighbours to a certain level, we talked casually when we met, but there was one person I never met. A man living in an apartment on the other side of the hall. I never saw anyone coming out or goint in there, Over 4 years! I thought for a second, if it is safe to invite somebody you never met before to your apartment, But then, I will not be alone, so I dismissed the idea quickly. So imagine my surprise when this man replied as the first one. He gave me a...
