Living with your own vehicle
On our way back from the south we finally visited someone in Belgium, we wanted to visit her for over a year now. Due to lack of a vehicle, this was not possible before, but now it is!
Finally we could pray live for healing and encourage her. Her healing is not yet visible, but we have certainly been able to encourage her and look forward to the next time.

Place for the camper
The challenge was that we could not park the camper in front of or near her frontdoor to spend the night. The 2nd option to spend the night in the person’s house also did not work because it was a studio and she is chronically ill. And because we had to rely on ourselves for a long time recently, it was necessary that we could charge our battery for power on board, do our laundry, shower, have access to the internet again to arrange things, post blogs, prophesy answer requests etc.
We (our hostess and ourselves) have 5 or 6(?) people called, but everyone kept their door tightly closed.
We also spoke to several people from an evangelical church by telephone several times, but they also did not want to help us even though they have their own parking lot where we could park and where they had various facilities in the building and where one of the elders lived a street away.
In addition to the practical side, we enjoyed meeting other christians and having a good time together, we told them so.
But no… they sent us to a kind of camper place without electricity, WiFi, washing machine and shower…

God continues to amaze you
It was sad to see.
And it makes you think that maybe you’re not in the right place. That evening Ezekiel 3:7 came to mind and when I looked it up I was amazed. It says:

But the people of Israel won’t listen to you any more than they listen to me! For the whole lot of them are hard-hearted and stubborn.
God often thinks so differently from us humans.
We actually knocked on their door quite a bit and 1 of them literally said ‘the door is closed’, they didn’t want to hear it. But apparently God finds it necessary for them to experience/hear that. Perhaps it will set things in motion that they will think about it later. In any case, unfortunately without their presence, we prayed for them and blessed them with a caring heart for others.

Loving the other
The point is not that they should have helped us, or that we are angry with them and express our dissatisfaction here.
What makes us sad is that many people who believe in God do not love others as much as they love themselves. And…we are also growing in that ourselves, we are really not saints, but do you strive for that?
What do you wish for yourself and what do you wish for others?
The Bible is full of caring and loving others. Every person is made in ‘THE image of’ God. When you love others, you love God. If you detract from someone else, you detract from a person who loves God deeply and even gave His son for it.

Believing is also doing
People, look around you, open your eyes. Faith is not just shouting ‘hallelujah’ in church, or saying “I will pray for you and don’t catch a cold”, while the other person has no coat and you have two. It certainly requires rolling up your sleeves and sometimes it means that it costs you something. Love others as you love yourself…
