40th Weekly Thought:

Time and Life

We take time and life as friends …

As we are now on our way we realise more and more clearly that time and life belong together in our world - one without the other leads to nothing! (Only God and our Inner Self is beyond this and uses it only as a tool).

When we have a broken bone, it takes time to heal and also the appropriate exercises. - One without the other does not lead to the restoration of the bone.

And if we have a broken heart? - Yes, time can heal it! But not if we stay in bed and cry or so! - That only leads to bitterness, anxiety or depression.

In practical life, almost all of us have also experienced situations like this: we start studying and after some time we realise that our financial situation is not sufficient for it.  If we stick to our vision, we take up a job and continue studying. This is a hard time, especially in the big cities where we can usually only do this.  What we experience is that we are often close to despair and burn out and can only keep going with the help of prayer and reflection. - But then suddenly something happens that is beyond our own influence and that we could not have planned for. We receive an offer, an opportunity, which enables us to continue with our studies without having to continue to use our strength mainly for material subsistence.

Because we held on to our vision all the time and continued as best we could, we now realise that the Almighty was always with us - and we are now very grateful to Him!!!!
