Dear Beloved,
life is something wonderful. God gave it to us in His
unconditional grace to work out with us together His great plan.
Ephesens 2:10 says: For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto all good works, which God
has before ordained that we should walk in them.
I love this Verse because it shows me how God is and
works. That He saved us through His son Jesus and that He has "good
works" for me in promising.
I´m blessed with knowing that I´m at the right
place. He paved my way to Josiah-Missionsschool and is giving me
enough to live.
Still it is hard for me to understand God fully
sometimes. "How should you?" may you ask. God is God and we
aren´t able to understand fully yet. Life is rough sometime. The
older I get the more I face death, sickness and unfaithfulness. I
know it might be nothing new for some of you and it wasn´t so for
me. Still I was surprised about it. Did I forget? Yeah probably. Is
it not that we forget sometime how life is to be able to handle it
better? I forgot about the roughness and imperfectness here on earth.
Last year I lost two beautiful friends from Tanzania. It´s hard for
me to accept the fact that I can´t be with my friends and the
families to cry with them and comfort them. It might be hard to
understand that I´m feeling so bounded to my friends after I just
spent a year there. But aren´t relationships measured in quality of
time somebody spent with you than in quantity?!
I know the time will come where I will hug my beloved Bibi Helen and little girl Rahma again in heaven. I desperately
looking forward to it. For ,,He will wipe every tear from
their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or
pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated
on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he
said, "Write this down, for these words are
trustworthy and true." (Rev. 21: 4.5)".
