Right now, in my personal quiet time with the Lord, I proclaim, "Jesus! I am the willing body of the perfect Head!" and go to work with this attitude. But at the latest, when it starts to pour down rain during a big transport with all kinds of "delicate" goods, I realize how quickly I am not really the calm body of the perfect head anymore ...
In the message "Collective Maturity" Ivo says about this: "When the Bible talks about 'rebirth', it means: You have to recover, accept what is already in your cradle as a child. You just have to return to what you already are." (See Titus 3:15) Instead of looking back at the past and feeling guilty about all my mistakes, I am now practicing to return to what God put in me from the beginning: His divine maturity, His divine nature.
On May 28, 2022, we were able to experience a wonderful online Friend's Meeting. The motto of the day was "Collective maturity". Dad spoke a lot about children in one part, how they have all the maturity – like a „germinating seed“ - in them. Jesus says it in Mark. 10:15 like this: "... Let these little children come to me, do not resist them! For to such belongs the kingdom of God." ... belongs! - Not: "... such will recognize ..."! Not: "... such will one day ..."! "To such belongs the kingdom of God."...
Time and again, mothers ask me about our six children: at school, kindergarten or on the playground. They come with many questions and want to know how I do it. They already can't cope with their one or two children and are at their wit's end. What must it be like with six children? That's why I'm telling you a little bit about it.
I'm really excited about Friend's Meeting 2022! 😊 Here is an electrifying quote: "The highest enjoyment in life that you can experience is the uninterrupted flowing along, observing, speaking together with, and acting at the same time - just going along with God simultaneously, with the mature Spirit that works in you. And I tell you, there is no higher feeling of life, there is no higher profit than exactly this direct connection upward."
Elias and I became happy parents of a second sweet daughter, on January 22, 2022. For me it was the biggest and at the same time most beautiful change so far 😊. But since Janice Levia's arrival, I just couldn't manage my household, the OCG concerns and all the other work at all. At least not in the way I wanted...
It is really unbelievable what is going on right now in our world - which has become so cold. I can honestly say that there is no morning where I do not wake up and right away, I'm looking into the face of a monster that has about a hundred names.
