The past is already gone.  
The future has not yet come.  
It is in the present that we can listen and give ear to God's call.

### You don't see what you don't see

1. I start writing
2. I press Enter
3. The next number appears
4. I keep writing
5. The sequence continues
6. There is an invisible programming
7. And I don't always notice it

And in my life?

- My thoughts
- My beliefs
- My fears
- My reactions
- My conditionings
- What I don't see

### I can get in the way of what I heard

- Out of fear
- Out of shame
- Hiding when I could speak
- Staying silent when I could act
- Fighting evil with evil
- Taking revenge on the other
- …

### When I stumble and fall, the Spirit reminds me

- Eternal life is to know
- the only true God as a Father
- who loved the world

### The Kingdom of God

- Is righteousness
- and peace
- and joy
- in the Holy Spirit.

### It is God who…

- It is God who calls
- It is God who chooses
- It is God who works the willing
- It is God who works the doing, according to his good pleasure
- It is God who makes the seed bear fruit
- It is God who gives the growth

### What is up to us

- To listen
- To give ear
- To God's call
- Through the Holy Spirit

### Listening and understanding

- I don't always understand what I hear
- I keep listening
- I come into contact
- I begin to notice patterns
- Understanding begins to emerge
- What I could not see begins to appear

### The cleansing

- The Word keeps washing us
- and transforming us
- by the renewal of the mind
- I don't need to understand everything
- I can listen
- I can give ear
- If we live by the Spirit
- Let us also walk by the Spirit

### The present is already part of eternity

### The walk

- Remembering what I heard
- Whoever practices evil does not know what he is doing
- Therefore, forgive
- And love your enemies
- Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up
- Faith works through love
- God is love
- Only God is good
- I will stumble a few times
- But there is no condemnation
- Christ lives in me
- Christ is being formed in me
- And God's goodness reaches the other
- Through me
- I am a child of God
- The past condemns me
- but in Christ there is no condemnation
- The future brings anxiety
- Each day has enough trouble of its own
- The Lord is the one who knows the future
- It is now that I can listen
- It is now that I can give ear
- It is now that I can know
- It is now that I can live in the Spirit
- Eternal life is to know
- The Father, as the only true God
- And Jesus Christ
- Whom he sent.
- The Lord is the Spirit
- and where the Spirit of the Lord is
- There is freedom
- And we, with unveiled face from what we have learned
- Beholding as in a mirror
- The glory of the Lord
- Are being transformed
- From glory to glory
- By the Spirit
- Being able to experience
- And prove
- The good
- Pleasing
- And perfect
- Will
- Of God
- Who first
- Gave to God
- That God
- May repay?

## The present is a gift from God

- and receive the gift
- in the present moment.
- **Present, Lord!**
