for everything there is a first time

The title already sums up most of what I am gonna say I guess, my first blog haha. But this is a bad way to start coz it's probably such a cliché.

So introduction first: my name is Wesley. A guy from Belgium and I love God. Since the Millenium I gave my life to Him and eversince I am serving Our Lord and Saviour.

Now you would think, that guy is a Christian (duh) But though I love the Lord, I still have my weaknesses. Who doesn't hè?!

It started out with a spiritual journey. A quest for more to life. And as we ask the "most" important questions we start philosophing. Which questions you wonder: why?how?where?and for what?

That's the short version. To add a bit more. It's life we are questioning. Our own lives. Our purpose on earth and the fear why we have to die in the end. What is it all good for? Why should we live for others if our own lives is short? Let's enjoy it and live full!

I didn't came to that point to live the fullest, so I have to dissapoint you. Asking questions and philosophing about it took time and I liked it. Only one life, but I would say, don't waste it. Even if we live it the fullest, it can be dangerous and shorten it. But another question is how we want to spend our lives. You want to live fast and short? Which one do you chose: the quality in life or the quantity or could we have both?

But what if there was another option? The Bible speaks about eternal life. But you only receive it when you accept Jesus as your Saviour. Would you take it?

Personally I know I will have a long life. How, coz my grandparents died old and I am optimistic. But greater is eternal life. So it makes me less worried about dying. Though I want to make the best of it here on earth AND I WANT to make a difference. Because I believe ONE person CAN make a difference.

Jesus did. The man he freed from the demons did change his whole village. You can make a difference. But nobody says we need to do it alone and that's why I am happy with our youth group. Wonderful people and one by one friends. The band we share through the faith we have, makes it bigger than just friendship. It's a calling, a quest we take together, a mountain we climb and the more friends the safer the climb. And it's great how we encourage one another. The moment I entered the Church in 2000, I was overwelmed by the power of His Love. That has changed me from the start. And that's the moment my journey of life has begon.

Like pastors shared many times over and over. Christianity isn't easy. Au contraire, it's hard. We have the passion and the heart the moment we start, but the flame dies after a while if we stop feeding it. Reading our bible, praying, fellowship feeds our soul. But a helping hand, a word of encouragement to friends, the questions in your head/in your heart,spending time with God and just have that moment with Him is already food for the soul.When you wake up, thank Him for the new day;when you go to sleep, thank Him for what will come next.

Guys and girls, talk to eachother about life.Share you moments and testify to family and friends.I encourage you to grow.Ask for wisdom and walk the path of light God is leading you to.If you are lost and don't know where to walk and you feel not like praying or reading your bible,go to meetings, have fellowship with other Christians and pour out your heart to your friend(s).So they can pray with or for you.
John 1:5 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.


God bless you and hope I will add more to this blog.
