God’s love is real for everyone. Sunday morning I was having breakfast all by myself, waiting until Rein would come back from his shower. It took him quite a while this time. I looked outside and asked God what He wanted to show me that day. Immediately an image came up, an image of an elder lady with white grayish hair and an intense purple blouse. I asked what He wanted me to tell her if I would meet her. God said: “nothing, but I want you to know that I love her.” Ah well, we would see. During the service I saw a lady sitting in front of me, she had white grayish hair and was wearing a purple blouse. You have to know, this lady isn’t really one of my favorite people.

Teaching, an extra-long FITN (until 3am), Mr. B, a seminar about God’s love… A lot of things waiting for us, a lot of things to do, but it was a very good week. Monday and Tuesday I was responsible for SEEK. This week’s theme: the Love of the Father. God gave His Son, so that the way to Him would be open again. Isn’t that awesome?

The question we can ask: What do we give back to Him? The Fire in the Night and seminar on Saturday had the same theme: love. For the FITN we asked the students to prepare a devotional; a short scripture from the Bible, applied to your personal life. This time the students had to add a prayer topic to it, in order for all of us to work with it. What a night! I enjoyed it...
