Nytt jobb. Försöker fatta vad det handlar om. Steep
learning curve. Böckernas teorier om det ena och det andra haltar. Människors
åsikter om en den ena och den andra haltar och säger kanske mer om personen som uttalar dem.
Befriande och skrämmande på samma gång. Och det är, det är som det ska vara.
Klockrent exempel: David och Goliat. Klassisk söndagsskoleberättelse. David erbjuder sig att ta fighten med Goliat eftersom ingen annan vågade. Det hängs på stora hjälmen, skölden och svärdet. För så hade det ju alltid varit.
Dysfunktionellt tyckte David och la det åt sidan och gick sin egen väg.
Listen to your heart sa Marie Fredriksson och skrev
en sång. Kanske ligger det något i det. För det mesta tas ifrån en när man är
igenom. Allt tas ifrån en när man är helt färdig. Hjärtat är det som finns kvar.
Framför allt som skall bevaras må du bevara ditt
hjärta, ty därifrån utgår livet. Ords 4:23.
En som borde veta var Steve Jobs.
I have come to the pinnacle of success in
business.
In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success.
However, apart from work, I have little joy.
Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed.
At this time, lying on the hospital bed and
remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I
was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death.
In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the
equipment for artificial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical
sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me.
Only now do I understand that once you accumulate
enough money for the rest of your life, you have to pursue objectives that are
not related to wealth.
It should be something more important:
For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my
childhood.
No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person
into a twisted being, just like me.
God has made us one way, we can feel the love in
the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, like I made
in my life, I cannot take them with me.
I can only take with me the memories that were
strengthened by love.
This is the true wealth that will follow you; will
accompany you, he will give strength and light to go ahead.
Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has
no limits. Move to where you want to go. Strive to reach the goals you want to
achieve. Everything is in your heart and in your hands.
What is the world’s most expensive bed? The
hospital bed.
You, if you have money, you can hire someone to
drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that is killing
you.
Material things lost can be found. But one thing
you can never find when you lose: life.
Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at
the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls.
Please treasure your family love, love for your
spouse, love for your friends…
Treat everyone well and stay friendly with your
neighbours.
Sammanfattande ord om David var att han var en man av Guds eget hjärta (1 Sam 13:14).
Att vara en man av Guds eget hjärta och att vara perfekt är inte samma sak.
Fråga Batsebas man.
