First of all, i wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to see my profile. My apologies if i have to write it in english. My english is somehow more polished than my german.

My purpose of joining this community was at first to learn and to enhance my photography skills while also sharing the pictures that i took and at the same to give God the glory in everything I do. Now, i have seen that i have quite wasted a lot of the precious times that God has given me in many other unnecessary stuffs.

For example, i could have used all these years to share with you a very important message. How many of you are familiar with the word, GOSPEL? Have you heard about it? What do you understand when you heard that word? If you are not familiar with that word, then chances are you don't know what it is all about.

Gospel means good news. Why is it good news? First you have to know that you are in a very bad situation right now. Wait! What? Yes, you are in great trouble.

Good news? You might ask. Why is it good? An illustration of why good news won't make sense would be for example; I come to you and tell you that i have a good news, your disease has a cure. Youd be like, ''What cure are you talking about? I am healthy. That's nonsense what you're saying! But when an honest and good doctor tells you,'' I am so sorry but you're so sick. When you will not be treated immediately, it might be too late.'' A good doctor tells his patient hard truths. He won't spare his patient from getting hurt by not telling the unpleasant truth about his grave sickness.

I am not a doctor but i am telling this from the perspective of a patient who was unaware of a sickness that I had. This sickness is called sin. I thought of myself to be perfectly healthy spiritually. I mean, I described myself as not perfect, a person who does mistakes just like anybody else. Sin was not that bad for me as it truly is. I scrubbed it away and described it as merely imperfections.

Till something happens and my view of my self changed. The light of the law of God helps me see the true extent of my sinfulness.

www.livingwaters.com It is by the grace and divine provision of my Lord Jesus Christ that i come to see my moral depravity through His perfect and righteous laws. I have never known my sinfulness until I have examined myself how I was doing when I am to be judged according to God's commandments. It was a miraculous work by the Holy Spirit in my heart that I have been convicted of my sins as i was worked through each commandment.
