bring it on, ossi!!

I'm a fan of Oswald Chambers...
...here's what I read today:

"If it was God's will to bruise his own Son, why shouldn't he bruise you?
What shines forth and reveals God in your life is not your relative consistency to an idea of what a saint should be, but your genuine, living relationship with Jesus Christ, and your unrestrained devotion to Him whether you are well or sick."

It's so true isn't it? And I am SO happy that somehow along this journey I have learned this lesson...I'm not doubting God's love when He doesn't do what I'm expecting Him to do, my faith grew stronger over the years and I wanna give Him my unrestrained devotion whether I am well or sick...

And you know what: it's advent! A time of expecting the saviour, a time of anticipation and looking to God for the miracle that only He can do! In German there's a word for Jesus: "Heiland"...I never really got the meaning of it until now...or it never meant anything special to me personally...but now I'm expecting him to be my personal healer in this advent...

have a great advent-time, my friends!
