janestarzI still didn’t sleep until 4 am so that must be why I am so emotionally easily influenced.
Why is it that everytime I see that clip from Live – I will overcome, that my heart breaks again?
How can the people in New York live with the remains of their co-workers buried in some big pile of rubbish, mud, and steel? To live in Holland, is to not be every day confronted with the terrible sight of humans in despair, people’s lives being lost. To live in Holland, also is to forget a bit every day. I cried when we held a small service and prayed for the people in America. But that was so long ago. I couldn’t dare think how I would feel if I lived in New York, meeting the people who’s lives have been altered forever, who’ve lost half of their family and friends. I don’t know.
I wrote this last Sunday. I thought it was appropriate
I prithee not to come to aid
For nothing at all is wrong
Pray, leave me in this silent day
Where all of us belong
When I read back the previous entries about not helping my roommate, I can’t. I can not not help her, right? I mean, she’s asleep now I suppose, but I can not live with myself either when I know I have turned my back on a person who needs my help. There was some passage in the bible about that. Somewhere. Why don’t these bibles come with a proper index where you can look up what you’re looking for in an instant and quote that?
Because probably, you would learn less.
Here it is. Now I have a Dutch Bible at home so I will translate it myself. Therefor it could differ from the original text from your English bible.
Dutch:
1 Johannes 4: 20
Indien iemand zegt: ik heb God lief, doch zijn broeder haat, dan is hij een leugenaar; want wie zijn broeder, dien hij gezien heeft, niet liefheeft, kan (ook) God, dien hij niet gezien heeft, niet liefhebben.
English:
1 John 4: 20
When someone says: I love God, but hates his brother than he is a liar, because who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, can’t love God (either), whom he has not seen.
