whats next?

Dear Friends,

after a good week in Germany at the sports ministry conference and staying with my parents I am back in the UK. God has been good to me, and in this difficult situation of having to rebuild he works in me in ways that i have not known before. I know this sounds cheesy, but it is so true. I can only encourage all of us to continiously face the reality the way it is and take it all to God. He is so powerful and so in charge that we don´t have to fool ourselves or others by pretending things aren´t as bad or hard as they sometimes seem. In fact, if we do that, like i have done for many years we miss out on the incredible experience of God catching us, when there are no more self constructed safety nets, and we never experience his healing and how he can truely create a new heart for us and teach us to walk again.
I´ve been listening to a series of sermons lately by an austrian speaker called Hans-Peter Royer. Already twice i had the privilege to translate him, he is a great guy with lots of insight i think. I will try to put the talks up on this page somehow, or at least the links. Simple but still groundbreaking stuff.
The thing that i think most about this morning after listening to his talks is that we often ask God to be or even go with us. The bible tells us though that Jesus says, where i will be, my servants will also be. I have so many ideas how to serve God and have martyred my brain for so long where and what God wants me to be or do. And really all he wants is that i go where he is.
So today, in all my confusion and uncertainty i will go and chase him today.
I think it was Corrie ten Boom who said:

It is no foolishness to let go of things we can´t keep in order to get hold of things we can´t loose"

i believe she is right, lets stop limiting what we can do for God in this world by holding on to our skills and gifts and our experience, because if we do, then these things will be our limits. If we submit them all to God fully without holding anything back, then not even the sky, but God himself becomes the limit of what we can do in the name and in the power of the one we serve.

Lets chase kingdom things today, and lets trust God with all the rest.

Blessings and Love
