Taizé is a little place in Burgundy; France! it's the home of a christian community, with prayers that are uniqe in their way. so that's where i was last week. I went there not expecting what i actually got. I thought it's gonna be this fun week where i meet new people and just be away from everything; I got so much more!Of course I met all these great, amazing people and brothers there but i got something that meant so much more to me than anything else. I got time for myself, thinking about everything that's bothering me; bringing it before God. I started this great relationship with Jesus, cause he is my anchor! i got all these concerns and doubts over the week, especially after i was in silence, but he was always there. i found this this great bible verse in John 14. 'Don't let your hearts be troubled, trust in God; trust in me' (John 14:1). it just totally is what we have to do, how we can survive all the doubts, and negatives in our lives. We need to trust that all these negatives happen for a reason, that they happen for a cause. I know it's hard to believe sometimes, but God is always there and he's never gonna leave, no matter what!
If we live our lives like jesus or even other people like frere Roger, trusting in the Lord, trusting in his Love it's so much easier. we shouldn't let all teh negative stuff get too big for us, overwheling us but react with Love; maybe even with joy?!
Don't let your hearts be troubled, trust in God; trust in me!
I simply love this verse! it sais to just accept, I don't mean that you shouldn't grief or be sad, but that you should trust in God to make it better, to help you through this; cause god is Great!!!!!!!
So i got all this in just one week of simplicity, prayer and Love! I mean what more do you want. I'm so excited to have a huge taize prayer in my hometown soon, it gives so much strength to get through my life having them in there.
Okay guys, so if anyone is actually reading this and thinking maybe i should try this taize thing, or even finding a connection with God. maybe taize is a good beginning, and maybe you can just google if there is a prayer close to you and maybe we even see each other in Taizé sometimes ;)
