Many things happen in life and often seem nonsensical. But if I do not know how bitter it tastes, how can I know how sweet it tastes? Everything seems to be for our growth and transformation. Situations do not appear just at whim in the life.
3. All of this I have written to
you with the help of God. And
if there is something that was
not of God, but came from me,
then I ask God to forgive me in
his grace.
May those few lines be a good
guide for your life having
questions, like I had
Yours
4. Sometimes one does not
understand many things that
happen in life. They seem to be
pointless and explain them, it is
difficult, maybe even impossible.
I wanted to look at everything
that comes in life, how does it
Bible see.
What kind of answers people has
found to questions they might
have seemed difficult to
understand. If they have found
the answer, why should not I
find it?
5. To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what
is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from
embracing;
A time to search, And a time to give up;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3;1-8
6. ...... because God knows the
meaning of all the facts that
occur in human life.
I would like to be able to
understand it at least once also.
And so I took each of those
fourteen words again, as they are
written.
I said in my heart. Does every
single word of the fourteen
contradictions have its own
meaning, as we see it behind
every word written here, or can
everybody look for some deeper
significance in that word? How
many meaningd the word can
have?
And so I read on to find out if I
can find hidden meaning in
another verse, one that would
help me understand the meaning
of that word for my life. Because
if all these things has to happen
maybe in human life, then
certainly not without meaning.
9. A woman, when she is in labor, has

own eyes are inclined.
Numbers 15;39
18. God wants that his word remains
in us, and that we ourselves become
the ones who want to plant it in
the hearts of others.
19. Then He spoke many things to them in
parables, saying: “Behold, a sower
went out to sow. And as he sowed,
some seed fell by the wayside; and the
birds came and devoured them. Some
fell on stony places, where they did
not have much earth; and they
immediately sprang up because they
had no depth of earth. But when the
sun was up they were scorched, and

thorns, and the thorns sprang up and
choked them. But others fell on good
ground and yielded a crop: some a
hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take
up your bed and walk.” And

well, took up his bed, and walked.

these commandments, and teaches men
so, shall be called least in the kingdom
of heaven; but whoever does and
teaches them, he shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to
you, that unless your righteousness
exceeds the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, you will by no means
enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5;18-20
59. Is it a fast that I have chosen,
A day for a man to afflict his soul?

acceptable day to the Lord? “Is this not
the fast that I have chosen: To loose the
bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy
burdens, To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke? Is
it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor
who are cast out; When you see the naked,
that you cover him, And not hide yourself
from your own flesh?

And each one will say,
‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

you do not know him, then you shall
bring it to your own house, and it
shall remain with you until your
brother seeks it; then you shall restore
it to him. You shall do the same with

your brother’s, which he has lost and
you have found, you shall do likewise;
you must not hide yourself.

required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
Luke 12;47-48
81. Now when the sixth hour had come, there
was darkness over the whole land until the
ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi,

Me?” Some of those who stood by, when they
heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for
Elijah!“ Then someone ran and filled a
sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and
offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him
alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take
Him down.” And Jesus cried out with a loud
voice, and breathed His last. Then the veil of

for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

are of. For the Son of Man did
not come to destroy men’s lives
but to save them.” And they
went to another village.
Luke 9;54-56
99. Whatever one is, he has been
named already, For it is known
that he is man; And he cannot

He has put all enemies under His
feet. The last enemy that will be
destroyed is death.
