Word for today from Acts 14: Paulus and Barnabas "returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. 'We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,' they said."

Poem by Tomas Tranströmer, swedish Nobel Prize winner, 2011:
Tired of all who come with words, words but no language
I went to the snow-covered island.
The wild does not have words.
The unwritten pages spread out on all sides!
I come upon the tracks of roe deer in the snow.
Language but no words.
Tired of all who come with words, words but no language
I went to the snow-covered island.
The wild does not have words.
The unwritten pages spread out on all sides!
I come upon the tracks of roe deer in the snow.
Language but no words.

Things are shaky. But our hope is stable, anchored in the very presence of Father, Son & Holy Spirit!
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf..." Heb 6

The evil that ravages in the world is more evil than we imagine!
But also: God's goodness and love for us all is far deeper and greater than we ever dare to hope!
And so is his coming Kingdom, on earth as in heaven...
