Life without love is really worthless.
Love should be your priority, primary and greatest ambition.
Love is not a good part of life: it’s the most important part.

Love can only be found in relationships.
Often we act as if relationships are something to be squeezed into our scedule.
Finding the time for our children, spouse or friends. Busyness is a great enemy.

Love lasts forverer.
At the end of your life, you won’t be asking for your diploma’s, awards or medals.
When life is ending you don’t surround yourself with objects. But with people you love.
So don’t wait until your deathbed to figure out what matters most.

“Your time is your life,
That’s why the greatest gift you can give someone,
is your time.”

God’s commandments are not about the ‘rules’ we find them to be…
They are telling us to love!
“The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
Imagine what the world would look like if we would all do this.

Such a good idea!

(Based on Rick Warren – The Purpose Driven Life)

Afrika: tussen de krotten, in de bloed hete zon, met tientallen kinderen om mij heen in een rottende lucht die ik nooit zal vergeten stel ik God de vraag, die zovelen met mij hebben gesteld: ”Waarom God? Als U er bent, waarom kan dit bestaan?”

Op hetzelfde moment kijk ik naar de lucht, alsof ik Hem aan zou kunnen kijken en mijn antwoord krijg. En ja, op datzelfde moment klinkt het in mijn hoofd:
“I can ask you the same question…..”

En ik weet genoeg! Het overtuigt mijn hart, omdat ik weet dat het waar is. God heeft ons alles gegeven wat nodig is om voor deze wereld en elkaar te zorgen. Er is genoeg voor iedereen. Alleen teveel hier en te weinig daar. Het is niet God die dit toelaat, wij doen het.

Meer, meer, meer en meer….. voor ‘ikke’ alsjeblieft!

De dikke van Dale zegt me dat echtheid is:
“Het niet vervalst zijn, het waar zijn, juistheid, zuiverheid, oprechtheid, authenticiteit.’ 

De wereld heeft geen nieuwe definitie van echtheid en waarheid nodig,
maar een nieuwe demonstratie daarvan!
En dat begint bij mijzelf.

‘In a world which is fake,
true attractiveness is TRUTH!’

It is poverty to decide that a child must die,
so that you may live as you wish.

-Mother Theresa-

“Faith never knows where it is being led,
but loves and knows the One Who is leading.

It is a life of faith, not intellect and reason
but a life of knowing Who makes us “GO”.

The life in faith is not a life mounting up with wings,
but a life of walking and not fainting.
Faith will be tried and proved and stand the test:
believing a God Who is REAL.”

- Oswald Chambers-

To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
To love is to be vulnerable.”

-C.S. Lewis-

“Gody womanhood”

We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom do we hear of a godly woman – or of a godly man either, for that matter.
It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife, than to be Miss America.

The world has enough women who know how to be smart.
It needs women who are willing to be simple.
The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant.
It needs some who will be brave.
The world has enough women who are popular.
It needs more who are pure.

We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct.”
- Peter Marshall -
