The Living God Transforms

By

Our everyday life is tiring. The repetition becomes a routine without interest. The lack of a new horizon narrows the limits of our lives and leads to frustration and withering, both for our interests and for our actions. We all need renewal. We all want a new beginning. We all want to forget the old and welcome the new in our ideas, our relationships, our dreams, we want a wind of renewal to blow in everything and redesign our lives and goals.

We all look for the best, for the excellence that will bring again interest in life, interest in new roads, thoughts, actions, productivity. We al want this because it is good and perfect. And as long as we do not succeed, our struggle in everyday life stays the same, tedious and without effect. Hope always stays there and waits for our right and effective moves to attain our goals.

God Speaks and Guides

Our everyday life has darkness and light, facilities and dead ends, joys and sorrows, and once could complement in infinite situations and personal experiences with corresponding content.

All of us prefer the positive and easy things and we move away from the difficult and unpleasant ones. And that is the human nature. We prefer things nice and easy, and avoid difficult and unpleasant things. Every course that requires extra effort, as a rule – although there are exceptions to the rule – is not the way we want to go. But we all agree that the things we remember from the difficult times are more than the things we remember from quiet days.

This tells us that although we avoid them, our consciousness is shaped during these times, our personal history is written; this happens in the dead ends we managed to find a way out from and stand on our feet, that’s where our personal thermometer has captured our most extraordinary performance, and engraved with the incandescent chisel the image of success. And that determines our lives. The rest of the days are a break and not the goal.
