My manifesto.

I live a good life. I am secure, no threat from my government. I have a enjoyable job, able to work with things that interest me along with friendly people. I have a home, a car, a stable income. In fact compared to rest of the world, I have a very good income. I am fed every day. I can buy most of the things I desire. I can spend my time with things that interest me. I have people that care about me. Friends, family. I am free to express my opinions. I live in a beautiful country. All this is good. I am grateful. And I am grateful that most people around me in my daily life has the same good things that I do. But why do I then live in a society that does not seem grateful at all? I’m just a human, and I’m affected. I get a feeling that this is to little too.

Let me shock you: It really is too little!! There is a central piece missing. The foundation stone. The purpose of life. Our creator!

And I’ve met him… Woah! So my life is not good. It’s great!!! He’s given me a purpose.  A place to settle down. A congregation to belong to. He gives me wisdom, leads me through trials. He gives his shoulder to cry on, he lets me dance and seeing freely to his name. He laughs along with me. He drags me up again and again. He points out at world for me, opens my eyes. He gave me free will. All that is good. I’m so grateful.  Still, all that would be nothing without the key to it all. His love. He loves me. He loves all of us. All.

That’s crazy!

And so amazing.

To show his love he sacrificed himself so that he could spend all his time with us. And how I fail in return. Oh how I fail. How I’m dragged into this world. Petty words, struggles for power, tiredness, egocentric daily life. Then step by step he shows me new ways. Turns me around. He washes away all that’s been. He humbles me. And let me rise again and shine in his light. Fills me with His love, and remains me that that is what it’s all about. Not demands, not numbers, not past. But love.

So my biggest desire in life is to love Him back. To live in His grace. In His love. And in free love do His will. I’ve so much yet to explore in that relationship. I’ve so far to go in his path. So much to listen to that he wants to tell me.

Therefore I take a time-out now. I go to London and the Passion-conference there. To honor him. To love him. To listen. To let him fill me again. With life. And I will bring everything. He expect nothing less. All my sorrows, all my joy. Because he doesn’t care about just some of it. He doesn’t limit his love. Love is not only for the good days. True love lasts every day, no matter what. In this chaotic world I want to live a life by him. I may falter again, surely I’m still human. But here I take a stand. Let Your love always surround me when all else falters. No chaos can tear down you God. Be everything in my life God. And I will bring everything to You. Jesus, I want You to be my life.

Yes, I’m crazy for God.

It may seem a bit crazy to you.

Hey, it’s a bit crazy and scary for me too.

But that’s love you know. ;-)

And to him I’ll bring everything. Please hold me to that. :-)
