Testimony from winter RESTART


Rado
At the end of the meeting at Važec I could not tell what spoke to me the most during the weekend because there was so much of it. Today I know – I was touched by the loveš of the Father. I grew up knowing that God is love and he love severy person but this knowledge was under a thich layer of, not dust, but meaningless phrases which were not coming from my heart. I am still somehow battling and I do not understand His love to me. Actually, I do not need to understand. When God shows me that He has accepted me as His child, not a slave, that He delights in me because I am His son, I no longer see trivialities – the need to please people, the feeling of insufficiency, useless forms... I guess I am unable to describe everything that spoke to me but I am grateful for it. I will mentioned a few things that were like tailor-made for me – said during these four days either through a person or through the Word of God. I apologise if I misquote some things, but I believe I preserve the thought. "After so many years I am still struggling not knowing if I really serve the Lord or I do things to please people. But... if I did not struggle, would I be a better Christian? Perhaps. Would I love Jesus more? I am not so sure. " "When a baby is small, he is no table to respond back with love, he cannot speak, walk, or even sit. But its father still loves him and knows the baby will once learn all o fit. The father never gives up on him and loves him unconditionally. The spiritual life is the same. " "God will give you no only a place, ministry, but also the boundaries to which you can go." "We are people, we are sinners; we need to confess that even in relationships, in marriage. We are imperfect and the two of us are not enough – we cannot give each other what we truly need. We have to expect all o fit from God;
He is the only one who can fulfil all our desires." "When people hurt us or give us something other than we have expected, it creates empty places in our hearts, a kind of vacuum. And when we open our heart then, it sucks in everything around it. God wants to fill out every empty space in your heart. Open your heart to Him, do not take in the garbage of the world!"

I am grateful for every single thought; also for being able to understand inductive Bible study more clearly – now I need to find the will to do it on my own and in the small group J All this time, prayers, testimonies, worship, activities, studies... I received it all from God´s hand and I believe I was supposed to be there and receive the word of God into my life. The way back through the beautiful snowy country brought joy and assured me of the goodness of God. I do not want to repeat myself but this weekend kicked me off to a greater speed than I had before. I will gladly return next year.
