Back to reality After a display of unity in Rome, it was back to disunity in Brussels as EU countries split - again - over how to deal with refugees in the block. Interior ministers discussed how to boost “returns” (deportation, to you or I) and had the now traditional row about relocating refugees across the EU.  “We had an honest and frank discussion,” said Dimitris Avramopoulos, the commissioner responsible for migration.

Wat God niet zegt maar wel zegt

God zegt niet: ‘Ik hou van u vooropgesteld dat…’ niet: ‘Ik hou van u als u maar…’ Hij zegt: ‘Ik Hou van U!’

'De Here, uw God, is in uw midden, een held, die verlost. Hij zal Zich over u met vreugde verblijden, Hij zal zwijgen in zijn liefde, Hij zal over u juichen met gejubel.' Zefanja 3:17


Dierbare God, ik ben u dankbaar voor Uw liefde voor mij.
In u heb ik mijn hoop gesteld en plaats ik al mijn vertrouwen.

What God says or does not say

God does not say,
'I'll love you if...'
He does not say,
'I'll love you when...'
He says,
'I Love You !'

'The Lord your God is in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save,
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you in His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.'
Zephaniah 3:17


Dear God, thank you for loving me.
In you I put my trust and my hope.
