Sermon on the Mountain

Recently I rediscovered Jesus’ sermon on the mountain (Matthew, chapters 5-7).

I guess this is what Jesus came to tell us and then He confirmed it the way He lived and by what He was doing.

That we should not judge people, that we should not worry about food or clothes, that we should be honest when we pray or help others. That we should serve God, not money…

What do these words actually mean? Who is God? Who should we serve? And how?!

Even though I thought my search for the meaning or purpose of life would end after my first daughter was born, now, after nearly a year, the same questions are starting to come up.

What is the best way to serve God? Is it enough that I just care for my little one and cook some dinner for my hubby? Or is it more about the attitude I have, about love and joy when doing my daily tasks?

Because I feel that life without prayer seems to be empty. And maybe insecure – I do need God’s help. I need support from somebody who knows how things really are and who knows their meaning, because I don’t.

I need to slow down and to listen to myself and to others. And to God.
