COMPASSION

Easter, easter, easter,...

Jeej, it’s that time again! But what is even greater is the story behind it.

Jesus came to the earth, to our level, just to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life. Who would do that for us except Jesus? 

Many of you have probably heard this thing so many times. But it stays (and it always will stay) amazing!!!

But today let‘s look at it a little differently than the classical „easter surmon“ :)

So Jesus came to this earth. He left the most amazing place where He had everything that you could possibly imagine, where He was „royal“ and everything was perfect. He left that place to come to earth so that we could have eternal life. He lowered himself to our level  and took our mistakes so that we could live, so that we could see the splender that he has (=> heaven). Jesus showed such great compassion that it’s just stunning!

Now in our lives we can take an example from Jesus. 

Everyone has people around them that need help or atleast need someone that listens to them.

But we are so selfcentered. Often we don’t even see that others are going through ruff times because we are so focused on our own little (daily) things like what will we wear, eat, do or how we feel, how we can be the most confortable and stuff like that. But they are so unnecesary. We should rather put our focus on people in need. Focus on how you can help people, how you can show compassion to people around you. It doesn‘t need to be big: sometimes a small message or just a kind word will change someones day completely. You can show compassion even by just listening to them and focussing for a while on their need.

Here I have some little tips for you guys that might help:

-„Lower“ yourself to their level. So I mean understand how the person feels in their situation so that you may help them better

-Speak kind words and encourage them but not by making their problem „worthless“.

-You can ask them if they need help. They might not necessarily need anything else than kind words and someone to talk to but still give them the oppertunity to ask for help.

=>So now while you reflect on what Jesus did on the cross 2000 years ago, also think about what you can do to share that love that you get from God.

Show compassion to others like Jesus showed compassion to us and share His compassion with the world!

My lifeguard be like...

Hey there!

I hope your Christmas was awesome!

Today I’m back with a new topic about our own lifeguard.

Let’s start!

We all have a lifeguard who even walks on water. A lifeguard that is able to save every one, even the ones in the midst of the deepest storm. His name is Jesus.

You might be in a horrible storm or maybe just in some strong winds. But wherever you are and however you feel, He is always your lifeguard.

He doesn’t just watch over you and keep you save from harm but He also pulls you back up when someone or something has pushed you down.

Often we don’t even realize all the times where our lifeguard saved us/ kept us from harm.

I want to encourage you to ask God for a mind that sees the ways He works in your life. So that you might be able to thank Him.

I also want to tell you that you can call out to God for help. He is there at his post, like a lifeguard at the beach, waiting for you to call out to Him. You don’t need to feel like you bother God when you ask Him for help. He loves honest people and His shoulders are broad enough for all your troubles!

But now, you might not all the time be in the midst of a great storm. Well during those „good” times praise God and use your life as a worship to Him.

To be exact, praise God in every situation. I have started to praise God always when I feel „down“. It takes a step of faith to do that and I know it might be hard to praise when you feel like shouting of anger/sadness/... But I promise you that you will feel better with a time of worship than a time of burning in anger/sorrow/...

God will refresh your soul. It might not happen in the same second but you will realize that God really gives peace. 

As a plus, when you praise Him your relationship with Him gets stronger.

So call out to God first and remember to worship Him. Because He wants to give you the peace and the rest for your soul. So when you worship, you give God the sign that you really want it and not just that but you also grant Him the thanks that He deserves.

Some verses:

Isaiah 40:31

Ephesians 2:8

Philippians 4:6

This was today’s message for you!

CHRISTmas <3

Hey peeps!

I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

This year I made gifts for 4 poor people and we delivered them on Friday. I was so happy to be able to do something like this during this special period where we remember the birth of Jesus!

The gifts were gloves, warm socks, a hat, toothbrush, toothpaste, showergel, deodorant, tissues, a towel, a small towel, nut packages and some mueslibars.*

But other than that, I also backed a lot and did some fun relaxing things... 

Here is a sneekpeak :)   

And now finally, after so long waiting, the party can begin!!!

Don’t forget the reason why we celebrate: because Jesus is born!!!   John 3:16

And all these decorations, songs,... are worship to Him. With them we can show Him respect and love!

So with this all said, I wish you guys the happiest of Christmas! Enjoy!!!

LOVE

Heeyyy!!!

Hope you’re doing all fine!

Todays topic is love. There are different ways where love is used so let me clarify about what love we’re going to talk: love between friends and godly love.

First of all „godly love“. God loves us soooo much! You can’t even imagine how much. 

Sometimes (or well let’s say often) we wonder why He loves us since we are sinners and far away from perfect. He loves us because He created us, because He is our father. 

And you might think that okey He loves me but how since I don’t always love Him back?

We ask this question because we only look with a „worldly“ perspective: love others but if they don’t love you back, you don’t need to love them anymore.

But that’s not who God is! He loves us because He does not depend on our love. And if we love God and have a relationship with God then He will give us the love we need so that we are not depending on the love we get from the world. This brings us to love between friends.

=> relationship with God -> love that overflows -> you don’t depend on the love of people around you -> you will be able to love everyone 

Now with the love you have from God you can start working for God by loving people who need love. 

And don’t say okey I will love people and then just love the ones you want to love. NO, love everyone and especially those who are in deep need. Because Jesus also died for everyone!

When you love people you will not only be giving them love but also help. And because you took the time to help them they will be able to figure themselves out too. They will get to know who they really are and the hope that God has given us.

And also remember that this work you do by just loving is also a way to serve God.

One last thing! The people you help might never tell you in person how much your love helped them. But don’t let that discourage you because that’s just another sneaky way from the devil so that you would stop spreading Gods love!

Here are still some bible verses to this topic:

John 13:34

1 John 4:11

1 John 3:23

(There are many more verses about this. I just listed a few of them)

Be blesses this week!!!

Hey people!!

Here I am again with a new painting :,-). But I just want to share this with you because I feel like there is a message behind this picture!

So when you first look at this picture you see a guy and a girl. Your first reaction is like „oo romantic“.

But when you think again you might see what I see in it: the „guy“ isn’t just a guy but is Jesus.

You see that this girl is standing in the midst of darkness but then there is that light...

This light is formed like a heart. Because God promised us that He would send His son to this world to bring light and love.  Romans 5:8

In the right corner of the heart you see some red color. This symbolizes Jesus who died at the cross so our sins would be forgiven. 1 Peter 2:24

You might be walking trough darkness, trough hard times. But you don’t need to stay away from God, His love, His help, His forgiveness,... 

Sometimes we think because we are in darkness we can’t enjoy God or His love and presence. But that’s a lie!!! God wants us to walk with Him and trust Him even when it’s hard. 

Sometimes your not able to walk with Him but he is patient: He will wait for you and start walking again when you are ready. But even while your still and resting He is there and you can rest in His presence.

Don’t be ashamed to spend time with God. He wants to spend time with you even while your broken. 

He loves us and we need to believe it too! He send His only son to this world to save us. So if that isn’t a reason why we should believe that He really loves us I don’t know what would.

1 John 1:7

John 8:12

Joshua 1:9

Romans 8:38

1 John 4:10
