What if you could have a constant companion, someone who always was there for you no matter what.  Someone who carried you in times of need and someone who shared your joy in times of happiness. Maybe you think that I am talking about my wife but even though she is my life partner and we are one I am talking about another relationship.

I am a follower of Jesus. I believe in God and that he is always by my side. This journey to India has nothing but improved my relationship with Him and my trust in Him. The past week was characterized by sickness and bad doctors, I’ve had some bad luck. I am not going to describe it to you other than that I am now fine and that it wasn’t anything serious. However being in a far away country, being ill and not knowing what is wrong and on top of that having a doctor lie to me and giving me treatment for a disease I didn’t have affected my mind. It was tough psychologically but I am certain that God took care of me and I owe my thanks to him that I am ok. He made me calm when I got stressed and He gave me comfort when I thought things were too heavy. Now I want to be here more than ever and when I am healthy I really enjoy being here.

Why am I talking about this? Because it is such a grand part of my life and for me I couldn’t explain how I got through last week without God by my side. The essence of the faith in Jesus is something many forget – the relationship. That is what it is, a personal relationship with God.

I have now started conducting my thesis, maybe I will post soon what I am actually doing here. This post was a very honest reflection of my mind. Faith can never be certain, I am the first to sign on to that, I can’t know if God exists but He has convinced me with the love of our relationship. I heard this great saying but I can’t remember who said it but someone said that answer to prayers are only coincidences. The answer the person got was: Sure it can be coincidences but when you pray somehow a lot of coincidences happen. That sure is true in my life. God bless!
