Rumi: Be Lost In The Call!

Dear Paul

I love this poem of Rumi:



Be Lost In The Call!

Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?

Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face.

Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.

Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.

My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?

We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.
This Sun doesn't want a crown or robe from God's grace.
He is a hat to a hundred bald men,
a covering for ten who were naked.

Jesus sat humbly on the back of an ass, my child!
How could a zephyr ride an ass?
Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream.
Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity.

Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.

Restrictions

Hannah 

You may one day live in an environment that restricts your freedom to personally express yourself and worship God truthfully.

God knows your situation. He knows about your difficulties and hardships. You are not alone! He wants to be right beside you.

The content and links provided on this site will provide you with many resources, support and encouragement to personally study the Word of God, develop a close relationship with God and experience this abundant life that Jesus Christ promises to all people.

The materials offered allow you study for many years. More resources will be made available over time.

Pursuit of The Abundant Life

Hannah

 Mission and purpose of these sites is to provide people with resources, guidance and encouragement in the pursuit of the abundant life that God is offering to all people regardless what gender, race, ethnic or religious background

These sites are primarily created to serve people who do not have adequate access to God's Word and other helpful resources that can help them develop and deepen a personal relationship with God.

The heart's desire of the author is to give each sincere person the opportunity to research God's truth and make up their his/ her own mind.

Many people sincerely seek God. They try very hard to reach God by following religious activities.

However, like worms that cannot fly, a natural person can never live a truly godly life. We can never reach the Almighty, holy God in their own strengths: God is holy, we people are sinful and cannot make ourselves holy.

Only when the worm is transformed into a butterfly, then flying is not only possible, but natural. Likewise we need to be transformed by God into children of God and then we can live godly lives.

It is not about working hard to become godly, but receiving God's free gift of forgiveness of our sins and being transformed into a new person. He loves us and wants to have a personal relationship with us.

At the end of our lives we all will be judged for our sins. We have nothing to give God in return for our sins. Because God is good and just, he must judge our sins.

:We have two options

 We follow man-made religions and then pay the price/ consequences of our sins (we will be eternally separated from God). Or

 We receive the free gift of love that God offers all people regardless of race, skin color, ethnic group, man/woman, old/ young or religions.

There are many very sad misconceptions that people hold about the Bible and Jesus Christ. There are wrong claims that the Bible has been altered. According to many of them the Bible is a Holy Book. But if it is altered, why would it be then called a Holy Book?!

The lack of information leads to wrong opinions and convictions. Sincere people miss out on a personal relationship that God offers to every person. 

You may consider some of the following sites to consider additional, important fact

Do not trust people, talk to God yourself! He created you to have a personal relationship with you

Tracts and Brochures....

Hannah 

Tracts and brochures are a great way to tell other people about God and the wonderful plan that HE has for our lives.

Every day we meet people (at work, on our way to work, in restaurants, while shopping, doing daily tasks). Often we meet those people for only a few moments and do not have much time to talk about Jesus. But we can give information to people for them to read.

Also, every time we visit people we can bring those people brochures and other information as little gifts. Those brief pieces of information can have a huge impact on people's lives.

Millions of people have received Jesus Christ and found a wonderful life by reading printed information.

Further, these texts also guide people who are already believers to share their faith more effectively.

Never, leave the house without tracts and brochures to give away!

The following sites help you download tracts which you can email to friends or print out and pass out to people in hardcopy:

The best and most used tract to share about Jesus - in many different languages

Holy Book (Audio/ MP3)

Hannah

It is also possible to listen to The Holy Book. Speakers read the Word of God to you from Holy Book. This is an additional great way to use our time wisely. For example, when you have to do routine tasks (like going to work, doing housework, doing shopping, etc.) you can listen to God's Word at the same time.



You can download the audio files in MP3 format and easily put on an MP3 player or other device.
