• Thy gentleness hath made me great •
2 Sam. 22:36 •
The gentleness of Christ
is the comeliest ornament
that a Christian can wear.

===========
Gentelness is a fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Like generousity, You cannot
lay it on the vague to
ponder rightiousness.
If Rightiousness would
gain the whole profit,
what would be the role of GRACE?
What shall it profit a man
to gain the whole world,
but he takes damage at his own soul??-
To be deeply concerned with
the poor and afflicted in the world
needs at the same time a deeper anchor
in the HOLIEST OF HOLIES
and a tie that binds us to
the strong obediance to the LORD.
We can bring nothing to
put it on the vague of rightiousness-
neither that we have worked out
non-selfish relevant social and economical efforts
that bring a yearly increase of prosperity
of 6 Billion € (only in my own country).
The invention and manufacturing of pat.pending
BIO-SEAL landmanagement systems is my former pound,
that i bring in my prayers and my daily devotions
into the presence and throneroom of the LORD.
But it is- OH LORD!- not enaugh.
I am still happy, when our household
is getting warm over the heating period,
and our current account is within the
allowed credit limit.
I hear those preachers, who call it
„CYNISM“, like those old philosophers,
who were so proud to get consecrated from the world,
that they´re proudness could be seen
at the holes in their robes!-
Well- JESUS had HIS wounds and holes
in HIS hand, feet and breast.
Why not shall i wear HIS wounds
in my ministries and let others
be on TV and on stage with bright robes and golden crosses
and let themselves be called
“ APOSTELS of APOSTELS“-
and „BISHOPS of BISHOPS“.
St. THOMS, the disciple of JESUS
became a belever, when HE felt the lacks
in the Body of Christ.
And JESUS said: HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO
BELIEVE EVEN IF THEY HAVE NOT SEEN!“
But evenso St. Thomas was persecuted and HIS
tomb can be visited in Chennai (former MADRAS)!-
BUT JESUS TEACHED ANOTHER TRUTH
IN REAL LIFE! PERFORMANCE
AND HE HAS BEEN THE TEACHER OF RIGHTIOUSNESS:
„In HIS stripes You will recover
and HIS BLOOD makes You free, and
in HIS WOUNDS YOU SHALL BE HEALED.“
Seems that the Universal
BODY of Christ has the same
task today than it had all the thousands of years!-
SO, let´s bring the Gospel to the GENTILES
and ask for help and generousity.
LIKE DESERT RACE PARISH/DAKKAR MOTTO:
„GENTLE MEN, start YOUR ENGINES!“
