Last year the superintendent offered me a chance to participate the Academy for Spiritual Formation \u2013 I couldn\u2019t go, because the dates were the same as my daughter\u2019s wedding. And this year I wasn\u2019t expecting, just the random conversation, like the accidental coincidence, that I would be free this time\u2026 But God doesn\u2019t have coincidences. Probably, the topic is more relevant and the soil of the heart is ready for sowing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove never ends\u2026\u201d I am still thinking about this word \u201cnever\u201d. It\u2019s a good sign when the occasion has already finished but the thoughts and the feelings are staying. It means that something really important happened inside, in the core of the heart in the spirit. How God loves me, how I love God, how I respond to people around me, and how I need to respond with love\u2026
\nAbout all of these were said, prayed, written in the poems and prose.<\/p>\n

In our hard rushing century the time is the main value, because it has rather hard frames like 60-70 years, and it\u2019s only there aren\u2019t any severe diseases. And the family, job, ministry, friends, household and rest also require their time in everyday life, in every 24 hours of the day of our small cycle of life\u2026 And when is the time to think? To meditate about reasonable, kind and eternal? Praise God that there was the time when we didn\u2019t need to think about food, sleep; you even didn\u2019t need to share the living place with someone \u2013 only you and God, your God. And the nature which He has created for you. Clever, beautiful and perfect.<\/p>\n

Many brothers and sisters had an opportunity to get the elements of the theological education, and also the understanding about the work of the covenant groups. But the most important (maybe, the most important for me) \u2013 it\u2019s the opportunity to meet yourself and listen to the signs of your soul, which are reaching to the Creator\u2026<\/p>\n

If you are tired of rush, urbanism, speed of the being, I recommend you to make a stop and trust the experienced team of organizers of the Academy for Spiritual Formation. And be ready to be changed. Because God is near in that place \u2026<\/p>\n
