Youth meeting...

Today was youth meeting...there were less people than usual, because there was also "Going Up" that Risttee church is organizing, so quite many youth were there as well... But we had a great evening with pastor Algis preaching from Nelipühi Kirik, and it was really good! He preached about relationships...He was asking what is it in our lives that makes life good and worth living...and in conclusion we could agree that relationships is very important. If our relationships are good then we are also good, but if we have bad relationships then life is not so good...and this goes for both our friendships and our relationship with God. But the preaching was good, because he drew the parallel between our relationships to others and to God. He was saying how the one thing that is the mostly important firstly as being a disciple of Jesus is to be with him, to spend time with him. Out from that everything else flows... the power, the anointing, etc... And the same way in our relationships, we need to get to spend time and get to know each other well... and then he was saying how men and women are different, that men wants to "do things together" and women wants to "spend time together". And we need to learn how to do both in a marriage for example, but also with God. We will get tired if we just do and do and do things for or with God, but we need to take that quality time as well and just spend time with him. It was just a really good and practical message, with good advice for everyday life in relating to people and with God.:-)
