Wisdom is to find a balance between wishes and reality. Aiming to high leads to frustration. If you have no goal, you stand still or go round in circles. Those who are thankful become happier. Nehemiah said: “Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).

The art of living is to discover the joy of the moment and stop dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

The Jesus Movement should be an oasis and a place of inspiration in the midst of rationalism. A place of vulnerability in the turmoil of the struggle for survival. Hope in the midst of chaos. Appreciation instead of judgement.
