Monthly Motto June 2018

„Do your best! – Commit yourself completely and with joy!”

Scripture: (1 Cor 9, 24)

“Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

Impulse:

Only a few days left, then begins in Russia, the Soccer World Cup! 32 teams have qualified for it. Now it’s about the final round and everyone will do their best. But in the end, only one team will win the trophy. All others will be eliminated before. But that does not make them losers. On the contrary! The crucial thing is to give everything, above all: to put yourself in the service of the team. Whoever succeeds in this, may well be the winner, even if the game is lost. So it takes both: to work with all our strength for the common success, but also to accept with serenity, when others end up victorious. And what counts for the sport, proves itself in all other areas of life. You can even make a little prayer out of it. Try it!

God, give me the courage to change things that I can change.

God, give me the serenity to accept things that I can not change.

And give me the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.

Monthly Motto May’18

“Make a difference – big goals we can reach only together!”

Scripture: Acts 4, 32-34

„ And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common. And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all. And no one among them was in need.”

Impulse
A high ideal, which we find in the Bible: “one heart and one soul” – that may seem somehow unrealistic. But when we think of our own family, there may be problems and you do not always have to agree, but when it comes down to it you stick together and have “everything in common”. Maybe you could do that experience during the project week in your city. When we live together in this attitude, there is also a growing willingness to share and help each other – among ourselves and with those who are really in need. For the new month, let’s take a closer look, where there may be someone among us who is worried, who is not feeling well or who simply suffers from “hardship”. This creates friendship and community growth, and we will be astonished to discover that we can achieve great things with little power.
