Small biblical story as
my introduction

So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew;
and I fear the Lord, the God of
heaven, who made the sea and the
dry land.” Then the men were
exceedingly afraid, and said to him,
“Why have you done this?” For the
men knew that he fled from the presence
of the Lord, because he had told
them. Then they said to him, “What
shall we do to you that the sea may be
calm for us?”—for the sea was growing
more tempestuous. And he said to
them, “Pick me up and throw me into
the sea; then the sea will become calm
for you. For I know that this great
tempest is because of me.” Nevertheless
the men rowed hard to return to
land, but they could not, for the sea
continued to grow more tempestuous
against them. Therefore they cried out to
the LORD and said, “We pray, O Lord,
please do not let us perish for this
man’s life, and do not charge us with
innocent blood; for You, O Lord, have
done as it pleased You.” So they picked
up Jonah and threw him into the
sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
Jonah 1;9-15

Jonah felt by his conscience, that he did something,
what was not good in the eyes of God. But he tried to
hide this fact in front of himself and in front of the
people. Till the moment, that there was no other
option, then to tell the truth to the people on the boat.
The man on the picture is like Jonah, can be like each
of us. He took his own decision and start to go this
way.
I would like to tell you my story today, even if I am
always thinking, what is in this story that, what I can
boast about and I can honestly say-nothing. Because it
is quite sad story. When I was living in Czech, I was a
teacher. The school, where I was teaching was not
Christian at all, because in Czech Republic the state
schools are secular. But I had a very nice and friendly
director, really gift of God and in my art lessons I could
do, whatever I wanted. I was happy with my work and I
really liked working with children, but I felt my personal
life unfulfilled. All my life I was dreaming about serious
relationship, but nothing happened. Till a moment I
have met a girl, who was just bit younger than I, and
she had already a child. I don't know why, but I was an
angel in hers eyes. A kind of prince, a woman is
sometimes waiting for. We tried to live together as I
always felt, that if such opportunity is coming, I have to
grasp it tightly and don't do, like I don't care. Not
knowing God so much in that time I just took decision,
like Jonah did. I took my boat like the man from the
picture and tied up the boat of my girlfriend and her
child to my own. So as you see, I grasped it really
thoroughly. And I started to row. But I was not an
angel, only a man, so after one year first wave appear.
Then a bigger one and even bigger one. I was not
Christian, and she was not Christian, so we didn't know
what to do, to make the storm calm. I was just rowing
best, as I could. The one wave was so big, that it was
better for her to jump into the sea. Because I was not
an angel. My boat turned off, and at once I was in the
sea, alone, slowly sinking to the bottom.
But I think, that God loved me, because he prepared a
great fish to swallow me. The fish was Jesus Christ.
Before I was searching God in my life, I had many
questions, but I never understood, who is Jesus Christ.
With His help and presence I was able to overcome a
hard time of my life and try to find a sense of life again.
When the fish vomited me, I felt, that it is important to
be grateful to God. So I said to my director, that I
would like to do with the children a ceramic project of
fourteen stations of the way of the Stations of the Cross
for one place, which was beloved in my hard. My goal
wasn't to create something to worship it, just to create
something to the glory of God as my thanks, that I
have found a sense of life again. So I took the children
from the school, God gave me to work with them and I
prayed to have some help of a volunteer for this
project. I think, that God was listening to my prayers,
because He gave me a man from Senegal, who came
to help me for three months, even if he was Muslim,
after a Christian teacher from Ghana and after a
woman from Colombia. When I was about in the half,

Jonah felt by his conscience, that he did something, what was not good in the eyes of
God. But he tried to hide this fact in front of himself and in front of the people. Till the
moment, that there was no other option, then to tell the truth to the people on the boat.

for three months, even if he was Muslim, after a Christian teacher from Ghana and after a
woman from Colombia. When I was about in the half of the project, because it took me
three and half years, a woman arrived with two nice daughters. It was such a huge gift to
me, that I was so happy in my Lord, that He is giving to me once more an opportunity to
start a relationship. But I didn't want to do as before. I was very happy, when she told me,
that she wants I become her husband. I felt safe, because she was Christian, evangelic
Christian, and she teach me lot of things about living God. She was divorced and there
was something unhealed from past, something unsolved. Very small spot, which looked
like really of no importance. You know, just one very small spot of infection, but from
where the whole body can be infected. She wanted, to take me as a patch of this old scar.
It was very difficult for me, because I felt, that God wants to heal this scar not that I cover
it with my “empathy“. So I was wrestling inside me between God and love to her, to

don't lose her. This was my biggest fear from the time of the first relationship. So I became
Jonah again. I decide to be on her side as a good future husband and slowly I have lost
friendship with my sister, with my mother, with my brother. I was rowing again as before,
but the waves were still bigger and bigger. I was so afraid to lose her, that I didn't care
about the waves, just praying to overcome it. After a year we get married and it was the
most beautiful wedding ever, maybe because it was my. I felt like, now I am sure with God,
because from the beginning I took her as a gift of God. I overcame the biggest wave and
expected, that now the sea will be calm. But the real storm just started. There was half year
of a storm with some days, when I saw sun. And I was really happy to see the sun,
because it makes me sure, that my choice was good and our love still exists. After some
nine months after the wedding, my wife took the girls and went to France. I felt myself like
Josef, just being sold to Egypt by his brothers. We were planing together some new life as
it is, so it was not difficult for me to stop my job, rent my flat, put everything to the
garage, take my bike and went by to France too. I tried here to start a new life for the third
time, but it was totally without success. The small spot already infected all our relationship.
My wife told me, that it will be the best, if I will take my things and go, because to live with
me is too difficult. So they threw me to the sea of not known country for me. Without
language, without sense of life and without future.
But God was good and prepared some other fish to swallow me. So I learned french and I
started to do volunteering work and live just listening to the voice of Holy spirit, if I may
say so. So, that is the reason, why I am in France, even if I am Czech. Because God knows
what I have to do, I personally really don't know and I don't want to be again like Jonah
and take my own decision.

When I draw this picture I was thinking about the storms of life, everyone of us has. I was
thinking about taking own decisions or follow the plan of God. I was thinking about being
disobedient and become obedient. I was thinking about the three days, sometimes three
months or three years, everyone need to stay in the belly of the fish to be able to be
changed. To be able to be a good tool for God´s plans with people. To be a blessing, to
be a just a tool of God not some kind of crazy Christian really tired from evangelization
and really disappointed, how less people want to follow the good message.
I loved you as my brother in Lord and I know, that you have your own Jonah story of your
life. May our stories testify, that God always knows, where we go.

Then the Lord God formed a man
from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and the man
became a living being.
Genesis 2;7-8

Two kinds of worlds exist. The earthly one and the
heavenly one. The earthly one became a form, that we
can see it, feel it, hear it, touch it or smell it. Each living
being became a kind of form. God is planting the life
on this earth, and as Paul is writing in the letter to
Corinthians: …. God gives it a body as he has
determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own
body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of
flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish
another. God has created our body as a perfect shell
for a soul to live on earth, and then he breathed the
breath of life in. Something, what was from Him, what
was from heaven, our soul, He breathed in the shelf of
our body to live in during the time of our life on earth.
There is a part, which is from heaven and a part which
is from earth in me. The part from heaven is something
invisible, spiritual, I can't really describe or logical
explain, but I know, that is something, what leads my
interests and decisions. It wants to be connected with
invisible world, maybe because it came from there and
it wants subconsciously come back there. I think, that it
creates the need of people to have philosophical
questions, to ask for the meaning of life, to search
spiritual things and to live spiritual life. I can also kill the
clean form of the soul in me by preferring all needs of
earthly world, really low, terrestrial. What to eat, what
to enjoy, what to feel and change my soul just into a
kind of gearing of vegetative life. It is my free choice.
And what is the idea of God for this life? God has
created us to His image, it was His idea. That we can be
united with His spirit. He gave us flesh as a form for this
life, and even this form Hehas created unique. That a
man can be impressed by the beauty of a woman and
this beauty can glorify by its outdoor form the beauty
of the soul inside. And that this beauty inside in the
soul can be connected to the virgin beauty of Holy
spirit, which is a part of God. By this way man can be
connected to God, glorify His name by flesh same as
by soul. Nobody having a need to improve his body,
because not satisfied, how it looks like naturally.
God gave us free will out of His love. Along with free
will enter evil the world. For Eve in a form of a serpent
for all of us in a form, what touches our eyes, what
speak to each part of us, which is from the earth.
Therefore, sin kills the soul and everything, what is from
heaven. Make the soul dirty with everything, what is
terrestrial, unclean, unholy. I have no own power to
make my soul clean again and nobody has, though I
have power to make it dirty by my own power. God has
the power to clean it, to forgive, to be merciful. But
there is no mercy and forgiveness without repentance.
The stains of my bad behaving can disappear same as
the stains on my clothes. But before they disappear, I
have to rub them a lot and sometimes I am not sure, if
the clothes will be not destroyed. By repentance I rub
my heart and sometimes it is really difficult, but at the
end is a great joy.

it is really difficult, but at the end is a great joy.
And imagine, what for a joy is in heaven, when the soul may return. When the heaven sees,
that already in my limited life I tried to make an unlimited space for spiritual life of my soul.
And the soul enriched of everything, what God gave me as unique gift, it can start to live
unlimited life.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am
unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not
understand what I do. For what I want to do I
do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do
what I do not want to do, I agree that the law
is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do
it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that
good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my
sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what
is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not
do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not
want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do
what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who
do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I
find this law at work: Although I want to do
good, evil is right there with me. For in my
inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see
another law at work in me, waging war against
the law of my mind and making me a prisoner
of the law of sin at work within me. What a
wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from
this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to
God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our
Lord!
Romans 7;14-25

When I was reading this verse before, I always had a
question. How Paul, a man, who was so firm in faith
and knowledge of Jesus Christ, can feel like a slave of
sin? Why he felt, that he is doing, what he doesn't want
to do. I was also thinking, if he, a man, we used to see
him as a pattern of Christian faith says this, who am
than I? Some people used to look at others with a
perspective, that when this man is a priest, bishop,
pastor, somebody, who declares, that he wants to walk
with God, then comparing to him I am just a sheep,
never able to reach some level of God´s fullness
through holy spirit. Reading this verse, I think, that Paul
is saying, I am also just a man. A usual man like you,
who is wrestling with temptations of a body.
The picture I did is my wrestling with a body and I don't
think, that I am the only man under the sun dear
brother. I would like so much to look at each person to
see the heart of the person. That, what is inside, what
makes the person beautiful. I asked Lord more times to
change it in me, and I believe, He will, but He knows
the time, I don't. The biggest wish I have to Lord is:
Lord, please, give such eyes, that I can look at the
people around, like you would be looking at them.
Please make my eyes focused on that, you want to
show me each day and make my heart sensible to
mention it. I know, that I have been created from a part
from earth, so naturally it belongs to a man to be
enchanted by the beauty of a woman, but that, what I
don't like in me, that my eyes always wanted to look
first to the body in front of the soul. Maybe too much
concentrated at things, which are not important and
those, which important are, I can't see. What a
wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body
that is subject to death? I want to say with Paul.
What I maybe understand, that God wants to create
people nice in heart and outward. That outward can
touch our senses and their heart can touch our soul.
Both are important and connected. Peace and love in
soul radiate in the face. But with the beauty are also
tied devilish desires and knowledge. Rivalry between
man and woman, to rule over the opposite sex. To rule
over the men, who are so weak with their desires, that
they are able to follow everything, loosing their own
mind same as the men want to rule over the women
being naturally stronger. Everything is focused just on a
body. When I was a child, it were only criminals, who
have been tattooed. Today it is a way how to improve
my own body, to make it more attractive. Everything is
focused just on a body, but it kills the soul.
Sometimes I am happy, that I am already older and
soon God will cut all my natural desires. If I were
young, it will be so difficult to create a normal healthy
relationship, when whole world is infected by
imaginations about sex, men and women. How I can
discover love, knowing only sexual rivalry? How I can
discover respect and humility, knowing just control?
How I can discover the beauty of the soul, being
focused only on the body? Who will rescue me from
this body?

No Saints, no anointed people, but my Lord Jesus Christ! The one, whom God has chosen
to show how to overcome the rule of the body and became full in God´s spirit, though
being in a body of a man. Maybe Mary, who God has chosen, for her humility in front of
Lord. As she said: “I am the Lord’s servant, May your word to me be fulfilled.” And
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been
mindful of the humble state of his servant. ”

On this earth God gave you a body and is giving beautiful bodies, maybe because he
gave you also the eyes to see all beauty of His creation. People marry each other to feel,
that the beauty of the soul and the body has been created for you. For your eyes, for your
lips, for your ears, for whole your heart. Once God will destroy the body and the soul will
stay naked. But if all your acting on this earth will be honest and sincere, your soul will not
shame for your nakedness, to come back to its unlimited life as on the beginning. Before
we all will meet and will be dressed in dress of a bride of our Lord.
On this earth it is the time to learn, how to look at the beauty of the soul of each.

This is the message we have
heard from him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no
darkness at all. If we claim to have
fellowship with him and yet walk in
the darkness, we lie and do not live
out the truth. But anyone who hates
a brother or sister is in the darkness
and walks around in the
darkness. They do not know where
they are going, because the
darkness has blinded them.
1John 1;5-6 and 2;11

God is a standart of goodness for me a light for my life.
And any kind of darkness I don´t see like an opposite
power, but just like a lack of light. More far is each of us
from God, more we walk in darkness. And often it is
our own darkness, which makes our reactions and
decisions blind.
The person on the picture is walking under his own
umbrella. Well, in Bible is God´s throne described as
place full of light, which shines brighter than the sun.
Who can look to the sun to don't destroy his own
eyesight? Who can see God? Nobody, and Bible says it
in more parts that nobody can see God, because the
person will die. God´s ray penetrate each body and
each mind. Believers same as non-believers. Even
angels, powers and principalities are not spared from
God´s view, but God allowed them to hide from God´s
light to their own darkness.
The man on the picture has created his own darkness
under his own umbrella same as devil´s spirit is creating
his own darkness under the umbrella of irresponsibility,
lying, flipping the truth. And people are lying, flipping
the truth so perfectly, that later they are unable to
recognize, what is a truth and what is the lie. We are
observing everything around us with our eyes. And for
them it is sometimes very difficult to be in the light of
God, which convicts our sins. Because God sees
everything in the fullness of all relationships. Easier it is
to walk in a shadow of our own umbrella and our eyes
adjust to this lack of light, to our own darkness,
because things don't look like as they are, but as we
see them with our senses. Our own mistakes don't look
like so clear as on the real light. In our own darkness
they look like more than mistakes of others.
John says in the verse: They do not know where they
are going, because the darkness has blinded them. We
don't see our way clear, just some kind of outlines as
we imagine them in the darkness. Not knowing who we
are and where do we go being in the darkness of our
own umbrella we are confused. I remember, as at the
one place, where I was volunteering by one lady in
France was a boy, who joined the project of the lady.
The project was to be able to change bad habits and
reactions and to be able to live a life with responsibility,
built relationships and not still busy one´s life with
problems, mistakes, falls. And sometimes it was so
difficult for him, when he saw, that he reacted badly,
than he just said: “Send me back home, because I am
not able to change.“ Well, sometimes arrives
moments in life, when devil take a mirror, and he is
shining with the reflection of the God´s rays directly to
our face and eyes. And then we feel so bad, so
unworthy that we don't even deserve to have God´s
attention. That we don't even deserve to live.
But God doesn't want to shine directly in our eyes, to
be confused to don't know who we are. He wants, that
we fold our umbrella and that we see things clear. He
wants, that we see our way, people, who are standing

God is a standart of goodness for me a light for my life. And any kind of darkness I don´t see
like an opposite power, but just like a lack of light. More far is each of us from God, more we
walk in darkness. And often it is our own darkness, which makes our reactions and decisions
blind.
The person on the picture is walking under his own umbrella. Well, in Bible is God´s throne
described as place full of light, which shines brighter than the sun. Who can look to the sun to
don't destroy his own eyesight? Who can see God? Nobody, and Bible says it in more parts

each mind. Believers same as non-believers. Even angels, powers and principalities are not
spared from God´s view, but God allowed them to hide from God´s light to their own
darkness.
The man on the picture has created his own darkness under his own umbrella same as devil´s

truth. And people are lying, flipping the truth so perfectly, that later they are unable to
recognize, what is a truth and what is the lie. We are observing everything around us with our
eyes. And for them it is sometimes very difficult to be in the light of God, which convicts our
sins. Because God sees everything in the fullness of all relationships. Easier it is to walk in a
shadow of our own umbrella and our eyes adjust to this lack of light, to our own darkness,
because things don't look like as they are, but as we see them with our senses. Our own
mistakes don't look like so clear as on the real light. In our own darkness they look like more
than mistakes of others.

John says in the verse: They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has
blinded them. We don't see our way clear, just some kind of outlines as we imagine them in
the darkness. Not knowing who we are and where do we go being in the darkness of our own
umbrella we are confused. I remember, as at the one place, where I was volunteering by one
lady in France was a boy, who joined the project of the lady. The project was to be able to
change bad habits and reactions and to be able to live a life with responsibility, built
relationships and not still busy one´s life with problems, mistakes, falls. And sometimes it was
so difficult for him, when he saw, that he reacted badly, than he just said: “Send me back
home, because I am not able to change.“ Well, sometimes arrives moments in life, when devil
take a mirror, and he is shining with the reflection of the God´s rays directly to our face and
eyes. And then we feel so bad, so unworthy that we don't even deserve to have God´s
attention. That we don't even deserve to live.
But God doesn't want to shine directly in our eyes, to be confused to don't know who we are.
He wants, that we fold our umbrella and that we see things clear. He wants, that we see our
way, people, who are standing in our way. Knowing our direction. That we see even a devil
with the mirror, and we can stretch out the umbrella against the rays of the evil one, having
our defender in heaven. God wants to see, who we are, that we don't hide ourselves under
our own umbrellas but once, that we are able to stand straight in front of God´s justice.
Since once there will be no umbrella at all. Anything to looks like somebody, I am not.

God knows the time
and the way

Ship your grain across the sea;
after many days you may receive
a return. Invest in seven ventures,
yes, in eight; you do not know
what disaster may come upon
the land. If clouds are full of water,
they pour rain on the earth.
Whether a tree falls to the south
or to the north, in the place where
it falls, there it will lie. Whoever
watches the wind will not plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will
not reap. As you do not know
the path of the wind, or how
the body is formed in a mother’s
womb, so you cannot understand
the work of God, the Maker
of all things.
Ecclesiastes 11;1-5

When I drew this picture as an illustration to this nice
and deep verse, the first idea, what came to my mind
was, that the man, down the ground is already
overwhelmed with his situation. He tried to come out
of the ground to the light, but maybe digging already
too long time, he just feels, he can't anymore. Maybe
he even starts to doubt, if his direction is the right one,
if it is really possible to come once out of the ground to
the light by this way. He has no other perspective down
the ground, that just somehow believe, that his
direction is the right one. But only looking at the
picture as we see it, from our perspective, we see, that
the tree has fallen so, that the place of its roots created
a pit just above the place, when the man is digging.
And just on the place, where the tree has been
standing was the soil not so compact, as all over the
place around, but more with sand and small pebbles,
where even to dig will be easier.
What is the meaning of this verse?
That only Lord knows the things, that they will happen,
like they are happening. Only God knows your future
according to all possible decisions and choices, you will
do.
That only God same as he allows, all kind of storms in
your life, he can stop them. Perhaps you are able to
see, a cloud, coming in your life. You are possibly able
to recognize, that from this cloud rain will come.
Maybe you can guess, that it will be a long and heavy
raining, but only God can stop the rain. You can find
your own umbrella, your savior to have peace in heart
and to feel protected against the rain of the words of
people, but only God is able to stop the rain, to change
the heart of each man.
You have to choices in your life. Trust in yourself, that
you are able to find a way how to be happy, how to
built relationships to feel pleased, how to find the
meaning of life. Well, you can look at the clouds and
the wind and define the best time to plant everything,
what you want later to reap. You can know its direction
from your own experiences in life, but the wind and the
clouds, as it is, can choose another way. Or, you will
trust in God, because He knows all things and its
purpose. You will plant, when nobody is planting, just
staying strongly be confident in God´s spirit. And
people will take you perhaps as a foolish, maybe not
seeing any plants, coming out of ground on your own
field. To the eyes of man stays hidden that, what can
grow under the ground.
It is important to believe, that prayer has the power to
change things. Prayer for other person means, that I
decided to make more space for others in my heart,
than for my own wishes and dreams. That I have to be
confident in message, which has been revealed to me
and be patience, though I don't see any changing, any
results. That my prayer is like the bread, what I ship

ship across the sea, so strange to believe, that the sea waves will not destroy it. That it is
important still to continue, that after many days, maybe months maybe years, I will receive the
return. Abraham believed in God´s promised son, but it was so absurd, looking at his own
body and the body of Sarah.
All the world is sick. And many doctors are in the world. We know, who is the best doctor for
this sick patient. Our lord Jesus Christ and His spirit, which has been sent to the earth. To each
of us, who want to receive it. But each doctor need his tools to do the surgery. The tools are
we, being obedient in His hands. I wish you, dear brothers and sisters, to be obedient from
love and to be His tool, wherever you live.

And the Lord said, “I will cause all
my goodness to pass in front of you,
and I will proclaim my
name, the Lord, in your presence. I
will have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion.
Exodus 33;19

Isn't mercy a gift? Gift of God's goodness accessible for
each man, who wants to believe Christian message? At
the beginning of history of man God gave law to
Moses and his people, to separate the light from the
darkness. God was the light and any human couldn't
look to His face, being burnt with this light of justice.
This spiritual light undress each person out of
everything, one has put on his own character. As it is
written in Psalm: The Lord looks down from heaven on
all mankind to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God. And as it is written in Revelation:
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not
need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are
wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. In this time of
history, people seek God, and He reveals Himself
through the Arch of covenant. He concluded a
covenant with people, He has chosen and holy God's
spirit descended into the unholy community. Therefore,
was holy and unholy separate in the tend of meeting
by a curtain and nobody unauthorized by God couldn't
enter behind the curtain. In that time the presence of
God between the people has been revealed through
the ark of covenant, through an object, God has
chosen as a place for his spirit. He had his mercy and
his compassion on those he has chosen.
When I drew this picture, I want to show what
happened to each of us from the moment Jesus died
for our sins. By the day of atonement Aaron sprinkled
the blood of the goat on the atonement cover of the
ark of covenant as this was the place of mercy of God
under the cherubs wings. When Jesus died, his blood
trickled at the atonement cover and the door of God's
mercy to a man has opened. The ark of covenant
descended literally in front of each of us carried by the
cherub´s wings to have its sanctuary in each heart of
man. This is the biggest mercy of our Lord, to decide, I
will have mercy and compassion on each heart, which
wants to seek Me.
Mercy and compassion is a gift of love. Out of love you
can have this feeling in your heart. To be merciful to be
able to have compassion on other's misery. In love are
all commandments included. Who has love in heart is
free of law, because his own conscience became a law.
Nobody is able to change himself to an image of God,
but as I am humiliating my heart and repent, like this I
can hold my own sanctuary holy. And same as God's
glory descended into a tend of meeting, God´s spirit
may descend in your heart and fill all of your heart with
love and peace. What is happening in one´s heart?
Lord will cause all His goodness to pass in front of you,
and He will proclaim His name, the Lord, in your
presence. As it is written in Exodus. At this moment you
may see things differently, with the eyes and heart of
our Lord. We don't see people around us like before,
but like new creatures, like something precious for
Lord, as our heart start to be open. It is a mercy of
God, that if I come in front of Lord with something,
what is unholy, He will not kill me like Nádab and

people around us like before, but like new creatures, like something precious for Lord, as our
heart start to be open. It is a mercy of God, that if I come in front of Lord with something,
what is unholy, He will not kill me like Nádab and Abihú, the sons of Aaron, when they came
unholy in front of the Ark. If I will make my heart dirty, His spirit won't be able to stay in me.
My life will be saved and if I will repent, I may receive again, what I have lost.
People often want to deserve the mercy and compassion of God unconsciously by their deeds
instead do deeds of mercy and compassion out of love in their heart. This world wants, that
we deserve everything, but God is giving mercy and compassion as He wants. Isaiah said: This
is what the Lord says: “In the time of my favor I will answer you.“
We are living in time of His favor, in merciful time. Our Lord is listening. May a prayer of each
of us arrive to His throne.

“Now I commit you to God
and to the word of his grace,
which can build you up and
give you an inheritance among
all those who are sanctified.
Acts 20;32

I remember, some thirty years ago, when I just start to
think, who is God it was very difficult for me to come
and to visit some church, because I felt myself not
enough good, not enough clean to share something
with the other people. The communities were not really
open and if somebody new came or left, the other
people didn't mention it. I saw the christian
communities like a kind of other groups of people, who
like to join together because of their same interest. I
mean, that in that time I felt like: „I respect your
opinion, your way, how you search true and sense in
your life, I have my, another person has its own and all
together are searching the same, something, what is
over each of us.“ Many ways to the same true.
Really later I understood, that, Jesus is not just an
example of acting, but it is love of God, which took its
shape in Jesus death for my life. And I think, that this is
also the deepest message of that, what we believe. I
think, that only understanding this love is the door,
how Jesus can enter each heart. Christianity is not an
insurance to be good person, to be an example to
others, even if we should do so. They exist people, who
have love to others in theirs heart, as it is described in
Bible, even if they have never opened the Bible. The
knowledge, that Jesus died, that I may live related to
God is an extraordinary unique gift to each and it is
impossible to understand it with logical thinking, as all
the other parts of christian message, like be humble,
friendly, loving, patience, it is possible understand
logicaly.
This world is a “cold place“ of no really sharing
things. Everyone set its own fire of happiness to make
oneself warm. And there are more and more styles,
how to set this fire of own happiness. And people do,
being proud in their heart, that this fire has been set by
themselves, that this fire warms up a lot. There are as
many fires as many humans dreams are. People having
their own fires, have no need to come closer to our fire
from our God.
I believe, that if such person will read part of Bible or
will enter a church of worshiping people, his heart will
be just not touched at all. As long, as the person has its
own wood for its own fire. We don't know, how long
time can everyone warm up by his own fire. What I see
in the verse is, that God wants, that we share the way,
how our fire warms us up. How we can feel warm with
love, interest in others, hope in situations of no hope
and faith in good God. I can speak about Jesus, say,
that I love Him, but live like a man. I can feel presence
of Jesus in my life, by grateful an happy for this gift, but
this gift will stay in my heart. And I can also live Jesus,
open my heart for others, who are wandering. Then
my own will be like a seed, something, what I can put
in a heart of another person and then I let everything
on God, because He is the one, who build each person
up. Relationship between God and a man is personal,
each of us have got its own drop of word of God,
which in some situation of his life spoke to the heart.
Like on the picture. This is the moment, when God has,

spoke to the heart. Like on the picture. This is the moment, when God has chosen to pull the
person back to his own love and make the person his own inheritance among all those, who
are sanctified.
I think, that this is our prayer for each person, we meet in our life, just to say to God: “Father,
I have revealed your name, your love and all good gifts, you are giving to each. I revealed
your name by my life, by my love and acting, all, what is over, I let on you. Now I commit this
person to You and to the word of your grace, which can build up and give an inheritance
among all those who are sanctified.“ I pray for the drop, which will fall from your word to the
heart.“

The Son is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn over
all creation. For in him all things
were created: things in heaven
and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or
rulers or authorities; all things
have been created through him
and for him. He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body,
the church; he is the beginning
and the firstborn from among
the dead, so that in everything
he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have
all his fullness dwell in him.
Colossians 1;15-19

I When Adam was in the garden of Eden, God told
him: „fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over
the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over
every living thing that moves on the earth.” Why God
decided it like this? Maybe an unimportant but good
question? God's idea was to create a man to God's
image. God has created everything with his almighty
wisdom and man has been created to His likeness and
image to give him a part of God's spirit into a form of a
body. But Adam wasn't obedient to God's plan. He has
chosen His own way following the temptation. Then
the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like
one of Us, to know good and evil.“ From this moment
each of us is coming to this world to be confronted
with two choices. Good and evil, but being immature,
we are not able to recognize bad and evil, like God is
able. The law was a kind of guide to know it, but how a
child can understand the circumstances of a law? Child
is learning from parents, from personal experiences,
from seeing patterns in family. So we need a father, to
see how to live a life with sense because just a written
guide is too far to childish imaginations.
In this letter to Colossians is Paul the Apostle writing,
that Jesus is the image of invisible God, an image of
our father to teach us everything, what we need to
learn to become mature. The fathers speak sometimes
clear and sometimes in parables, to understand
something more, a deeper meaning behind. Maybe to
understand things, which are not really clear to
understand, or which are difficult to understand,
because we are immature. When I was a child I was not
capable to understand some things according to my
age and point of view, I had to believe it and later as I
grew up, I start slowly to understand part of it. We are
not able to understand invisible world, that what Paul is
calling thrones, dominions, principalities and powers, all
this has been created to have its right place in invisible
world, but not all of this has been obedient to God's
plan.
By the same way as God has put His spirit into a form
of a body of Jesus Christ, all kind of different spirits take
its form as well. And by the same way, as you can't fill
up a container, which is already full, but you need an
empty one, so same the spirit need something empty,
without real sense. It can be an empty meaningless
object, same as an empty life of a man. The spirit of
God in Jesus Christ took a form of a body, to show to
each of us clearly, how to create from our own body a
house, where the holy spirit would like to dwell in. And
it is very difficult and it takes mostly the whole life.
Jesus glorified God on his own body, and we have also
to do the same. Our body is the temple of living God,
as Paul says in 2Corinthians, chapter 6:… and your
bodies our everyday life and behaving is a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. In that way we don't need temples
to sacrifice to God, it is just a form, how we do,
because it is easier. All of that, what is easier is religion,

By the same way as God has put His spirit into a form of a body of Jesus Christ, all kind of
different spirits take its form as well. And by the same way, as you can't fill up a container,
which is already full, but you need an empty one, so same the spirit need something empty,
without real sense. It can be an empty meaningless object, same as an empty life of a man.
The spirit of God in Jesus Christ took a form of a body, to show to each of us clearly, how to
create from our own body a house, where the holy spirit would like to dwell in. And it is very

also to do the same. Our body is the temple of living God, as Paul says in 2Corinthians,
chapter 6:… and your bodies our everyday life and behaving is a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. In that way we don't need temples to
sacrifice to God, it is just a form, how we do, because it is easier. All of that, what is easier is
religion or a liturgy, maybe better to say, some accustomed way, how to worship God. But do
we really know, what are we worshiping?
Some Christians worship icons, saints, Mary as mother of God, they believe that to these
things can be transmitted blessing and protection. Muslims worship their Kaaba, the black
stone in Mecca, Hindus the statues of gods and goddesses, because it is easier to connect a
spirit with a form of something. And as I don't know, what is behind the mirror, I don't know,
or better to say, I do not admit to myself, what is in heaven. In a kind of invisible word. And as
meaningless is the sense of the things, which are worshiped, as easier is to become a
connection to spirits, which are not from God. Because they are able to do miracles as well.
And how one will recognize, which miracle is from God and which is from the evil one?

Seeing Christianity just as religion with habits and rituals, one feels untouched by the message
of Jesus Christ. Just a nice story, beautiful fairy tale, but one is not believing, that God's spirit is
inside the whole message, which is much deeper, than a Sunday service. People are able to
don't believe in that, but they are able to believe in energies. You can take a good energy and
send it as a help to someone you love. Energies, it sounds scientific, and people, who believe
it, are educated and intelligent. Spirits, it sounds scary. From a scientific point of view, we know
so much about, that energy is indestructible, just changing a form and existing everlasting
time. But everything about, has been already written also in Bible.
In Adam, we are immature. Just like children and children like to play. Many people like to play
with dangerous toys like energies and spirits to destroy their own life and life of others. Some
people had the mercy to see a part of invisible world, but only one knows it fully. The one,
who came down from heaven to be born in a form of a body on this Earth. In Him is possible
to understand everything, the world visible same as invisible. To know my way, the way of
God.
On the picture Jesus hugs all the world, because He came to save each person in the world,
from invisible powers, from psychical and physical diseases, from addictions, troubles, falls and
unforgiven hiding places deep in each heart.
I wish you my dear brother, that wherever you go, with your life you worship our Lord every
day, that people can find living God in you not dead religion.

Come closer to things
God has prepared for
you

As he approached the town gate, a
dead person was being carried
out—the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow. And a large crowd
from the town was with her. When
the Lord saw her, his heart went out
to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
Then he went up and touched the
bier they were carrying him on, and
the bearers stood still. He
said, “Young man, I say to you, get
up!” The dead man sat up and
began to talk, and Jesus gave him
back to his mother.
Luke 7;13-14

Maybe someone would say, it is “just“ a story, how
Jesus resurrected a young man an only son of the
widow. But nothing is written in Bible “just“ to read
about it. Why He could do something, what I won't be
able to do as his disciple? Can this story happen today
again? And can I or you play a similar role as Jesus has
played in this story? Maybe, reading the verse carefully.
Jesus entered this town for some reason, we don't
know from the Gospel. And in a moment, when he
“approached the town gate, a dead person was being
carried out“ of the gate. Seemingly two situations
which “just“ have happened in the same time. And I
can have a question, do these two situations
“just“ happened, because happening at the same
moment at the same place or does it was something,
what God has prepared, that Jesus could meet this
woman in huge sorrow? And I have a question. If you
or I will be in the same situation, will we be able to see
this situation like Jesus? Jesus was able to take attention
to this situation, to stop and to start to speak to the
woman, he never saw before.
When I was walking in towns, often I saw beggars,
sometimes men, sometimes women. Sometimes I saw,
how they were astute, just to get as much money as
possible. Sometimes I saw, that they just like their
independent life, or maybe better to say, their
addiction to this kind of life made them unable to think
about, if they are slaves of their own choice. Though
many of them are abusing others, I think, that many or
some are in real troubles of life. I search sometimes
troubles of life there, where they aren't and don't see
them there, where they are. I had experience in my life,
that I saw a huge sorrow, but I just shamed to come
closer as Jesus did and to say “don't cry.“ Though it
was not maybe a moment to say “don't cry“, I was
unable even to say: “Maybe I would like to pray with
you, for that your sorrowful heart is missing, if you
want.“ So this situation has passed, everything was
struggling in me, what I should do and if I had the real
view at the situation by the spirit. The result was the
Lord couldn't used me as a tool for this situation.
Sometimes, when I am thinking about moments like
this, I wish so much, that I can be useful tool. That I
have courage to cry with those who are crying, just
come closer, hold their hand and say even maybe
anything. That my heart is able to went out to the
people, to their sorrow, like I feel it on the picture.
Reading the verse, there is written, that Lord touched
the bear. So difficult! Because to touch the bear, it
means to me to have the courage saying or to do,
what I should do, that God can use me. It is easy to
say don't cry, to share some pain in life, but maybe if
you should say to a beggar: “Don't sit here crying for
your misery, but raise up and go to serve God
and everything will be added to you“ is like a
foolishness for people, who are used to live like this.
But if God is sending me to say it to this man, to
change the perspective of his life, to believe, that it is
possible to went out of his own misery, am I able to do

believe, that it is possible to went out of his own misery, am I able to do it? Let´s say, having
the courage to do it, can I handle to recognize the God´s will and my own will, what to say
and to do exactly? Because if not, I can have courage, to touch the bear, but the “widow´s
son won't be able to be resurrected“. I was acting in the situation, but not as God wanted to
use me.
What does it mean? To let the situations be, because of knowing how difficult it is to become a
God´s tool? No, I would like to encourage you dear brother to do it. To pray for attention to

people and situations. To have courage to come closer in the situations and to believe, that
God´s solution will be revealed to you. Maybe to come to someone, you see, that you should
come closer, to stop with him, to look at him or her and to say: “I don't know your situation,
but I believe, that Lord has good life for you, because He loves you. If you want and you allow
it in your heart, I can here and now pray for your happiness, that your eyes may see light and
not just everyday troubles.“ And I believe, that if the person will be not offended by this
message, we may come closer to the heart. Not knowing if it is not maybe Lord, using us, not
knowing it, to knock at the door of the heart of the person.
As it is written:vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
“The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.“ So it is not you, who enter
in other´s heart, but it can be Lord in you brother. “ The gatekeeper“ the conscience of the
person “opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by
name and leads them out.“As Lord is the one, who can change one´s life.“ When he has
brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they
know his voice.“ John 10;2-4
And the end of this small message I wish for you, according to gifts, you have received from
Lord, that you are able to come into the situation, God is preparing foryou. That you hear His
voice and act according to this voice, feeling, that Lord wants to act through your action. That
Lord can use you as a tool for His will. The branch, which is connected with the trunk all the
time.

He replied, “Because you have
so little faith. Truly I tell you,
if you have faith as small as
a mustard seed, you can say
to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it will
move. Nothing will be impossible
for you.”
Matthew 17;20

This was such a confusing verse for me and even I am
not sure, if I understand it well now better than before.
Jesus is speaking about small faith of his disciples and
after he is speaking about faith as small as mustard
seed which is big enough to move mountains.
The wild mustard He has chosen also for the another
parable about the growing seed in Mark 4;30-32:
Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of
God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all
seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and
becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big
branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” Why is
He choosing this plant for the parable? Isn't an oak or a
cedar a better example of a huge firm plant, which is
coming out of a small seed? For sure in my
imaginations same as the Israelite had imagination
about heavenly kingdom and messiah and the way, He
will come and rule. Therefore, they were unable
recognize the God´s plan with man. I believe as God
was speaking through Jesus, His spirit has chosen a
mustard maybe to give us some example about this
plant for our spiritual grow.
Wild mustard is a kind of weed, which is growing
everywhere. Especially in Mediterranean. The seeds are
not so big, but one plant produce more than four
thousand seeds. The seeds can spread by water same
as through the stomach of birds, still be able to sprout.
It doesn't germinate deeper than some centimeters in
the ground, but it can keep germination for a long
time, some examples speak about seeds, which were
able to germinate after fifty years. The seeds have very
hard skin and mostly they can't sprout in the first year,
but the skin should be damaged by frost. Very often
is Bible speaking about weed like something, what is
growing fast, everywhere just to conquer its place
under the sun, bearing any good fruits and at the end
it is a kind of plant, which is burned. In this two
parables are its characteristics used as a positive
example, which should inspire me.
When Jesus says: Truly I tell you, if you have faith as
small as a mustard seed….looking to this plant and its
characteristics, I see, what everything I am missing on
my way to believe as God wants I believe in Him. The
seed can keep its germination up to fifty years. Am I
able to keep my hope, that God will act through my life
and prayers up to fifty years of my life, if nothing is
happening? The seed is able to germinate even after
passing through bird´s stomach or floating on the
surface of the water. Does my faith will stay same
strong, still believing in good God who loves, while
passing all difficulties and temptations of life? And
maybe Jesus wants to tell you dear brother, same as to
me: If your imaginations about Lord and everything,
how He will act in your life won't be damaged, how can
Lord let something grow in your heart?
But if you put each decision under the light of the
spirit, if you will put all your faith and hope in Lord´s

But if you put each decision under the light of the spirit, if you will put all your faith and hope
in Lord´s hand, than from a small seed, as small and meaningless your acting other will regard,
a huge plant become. Plant which is able to put such a huge amount of seeds in the heart of
others, plant, which can just spread till the end of the world.
May your faith dear brother is like a mustard seed.

As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the
sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out
from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose
for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55;10-11

n Bible, I often read, that word can be like a sword and
our tongue is one of the most powerful weapon.
Although I believe, that God can speak to us also by a
way, that we hear some voice, or we have a dream, I
think, that the most common way, how His word is
coming and touching our heart, is through the mouth
of other people. By this way we receive every day a
word from God, because as we communicate, and we
do mistakes, through our conscience our mistakes are
revealed.
When I had a dog, I saw, that he was not interested in
each sound. Sometimes he could be in midden of a
noisy place, but he stayed calm laying till a moment,
he has heard my voice. And I could speak very silent or
even say anything, just make some sound a kind of
command, and he jumped immediately. Sometimes it
was so funny, but so good example for me, how he is
able always to hear the voice of his lord. Sometimes I
was thinking, may I can be like the dog and always
here the right voice. And imagine, he was still vigilant
to the voice, even if sleeping, never so hard to be not
able to hear it. Such example for me as a Christian.
I believe, so same as he could hear the right voice,
even any kind, he knew, he should be interested in, we
people are able to recognize through our conscience,
which voice is from God and which is an accusation
from people or devil. Each person has a circle of his
own privacy. Many people, that we meet never enter
this circle and their speech don't touch us so much.
More sensitive we are, and I think, that it is good, more
we can receive. If we are sensitive to things and people,
we allow each person to enter in our space, more
or less close, so as we create relationships. I believe,
that it is a way, how God is working with character of
each, that we can hear His voice. He is sending people
in our way, many kinds of people, and He tries to make
our heart sensitive to their words. Maybe sometimes I
am offended by the people, but as the time is passing
by, I am thinking, if theirs word is really not something
to change my life.
In relations, we sometimes experience, how huge
power the word has to destroy things. With one word
or sentence you can destroy, what you have built for
years. If word has so huge power to destroy things,
why it should not have a power to build?
In the verse is written that rain can bud and flourish the
land. But heavy rain or hail stones can destroy the
plants and take off all ground from the land. Is it not
the same with word, we say. The word has a power to
change one´s life, to let him see, what he doesn't see
but by the same way can destroy the relationship and
lock the person for years. In this case, we were not a
useful tool of God and His word, which He gave us, we
used it without the wisdom of the Holy spirit, but with
our own wisdom, how and what exactly to say. I would
like to share with you one sad story about a
relationship, which is no more, thanks the not well-
used word, which has been sent from God.
Very often I am standing in front of a problem. I would
like to give a picture a verse and small letter to

which has been sent from God.
Very often I am standing in front of a problem. I would like to give a picture a verse and small
letter to someone I have met. If I stay longer time and I feel, that God is helping me to know
the person better, sometimes I take the courage to give name to things, which are not so best
in behaving, especially if the people want really to create relationships. I know, that sometimes
other people can be a mirror for things, what our own eyes not see, but very often I have a
question: Do I am authentic with my life and reactions to be able to do this? That the word
can sooner or later do that, what I tried to draw on the picture, touch the heart.
Word we used has big power, but without advice of Holy spirit, how to us it, what to say in
which moment and if say something, it can be turned from a rain, which water the land to a
storm, which destroy it.
May you always know what to say.

Jesus taking the five loaves
and the two fish and looking
up to heaven, he gave
thanks and broke the loaves.
Then he gave them to his
disciples to distribute to the
people. He also divided the
two fish among them all.
Mark 6;41

Jesus in this verse took the two fishes and five breads
and what did he do? He was thankful to God for these
two fishes and five breads. I am quite sure, that if I will
be one of the disciples of that time, I will think in my
heart: “What is it for a strange kind of acting?“ Here are
five thousand people, who are hungry, being all the
day without food and this man doesn't say, Father in
heaven, please feed them, you know their needs, but
he has got from the disciples two fishes and five
breads, and he is saying, thank you, Lord, that you
gave me this to feed the people?“ Is it so less, that God
is giving to him to feed the people, that he wants to
say: “Thank you for it?“
Maybe is in this story a deeper message and a lesson,
why to be always thankful to God. Man has often
wishes in his heart. Good wishes, and then one is
praying for many concrete things, one imagines, it is
the best. We are waiting for an answer and the answer
is not coming for a long time. And each of us can be
slowly disappointed or at least distressed, that nothing
happens, what can resolve the situation. And in this
situation to say from sincere heart, God I loves you,
though I understand nothing, is sometimes hard. To
say thank you and I don't know even for what I want to
say thank you even harder.
Maybe God wants to teach us to be able to say thank
you for everything, that everything is a way, how we
can be formed. How we can overcome a sorrow and
regret in our heart. How love can multiply in the heart
of each of us, though we experience bad things. A
sincere and “eternal“ love in heart of man can be
rooted in ground, that supports the love. Peace in
heart, ability to be pleased by each thing, to have
a pleasure, just because I am, for I can see all this
beauty of creation, that I am happy to weak up into
each day, that I am happy, you are and I can share
things with you.
Someone will ask a Christian: “What is the first thing,
you do, when you wake up in the morning, with whom
you create the first relationship?“ And I am sure, many
will answer my first relationship from the morning I
create, is with God, than with my wife, my children, my
friends……….“ But where am I? When I wake up in the
morning, the first relation I do, it is with myself. I am
just happy, that I am, that I could please some people
yesterday, that I can do this or that, what will maybe
make someone happy, that I can have time to think
about God, speak or share something or just looking
forward to having a walk with dog, which is not even
my, but behave and is happy, like would be mine.
There are so many things, I can be thankful for them,
and one will just say: “Only two fishes and five
breads....such a crazy man!“
Everything can multiple, if we are thankful for that, we
receive. Jesus said: But seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these things shall be
added to you. If I will be able to seek and understand
the righteousness of God, then I will be satisfied with
everything or at least be able to overcome everything,

Jesus in this verse took the two fishes and five breads and what did he do? He was
thankful to God for these two fishes and five breads. I am quite sure, that if I will be one of
the disciples of that time, I will think in my heart: “What is it for a strange kind of acting?“

How love can multiply in the heart of each of us, though we experience bad things. A

Peace in heart, ability to be pleased by each thing, to have a pleasure, just because I am,

with myself. I am just happy, that I am, that I could please some people yesterday, that I
can do this or that, what will maybe make someone happy, that I can have time to think
about God, speak or share something or just looking forward to having a walk with dog,
which is not even my, but behave and is happy, like would be mine. There are so many
things, I can be thankful for them, and one will just say: “Only two fishes and five
breads....such a crazy man!“
Everything can multiple, if we are thankful for that, we receive. Jesus said: But seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. If I will
be able to seek and understand the righteousness of God, then I will be satisfied with
everything or at least be able to overcome everything, what will arrive in my life. I will be
able to see in things, how they happen a righteousness, that it is no decision without
circumstance, that it is me, who is responsible for my own choices. That I can't understand
everything with my own justice and I will always have questions without answers, but
therefore I will have hope and faith to be able to cross things, which no one can
understand, only God.
…and all these things shall be added to you. The bread and the fish for five thousand
people have been added to Jesus by God. It multiplies in his hands, because he knows, for
what he wants to be thankful. I wish, that you know it as well.
