Tell me

-


Tell me about the turning points in your life. Tell me what they turned you to. Tell me who they turned you into.

Tell me about the greatest moments in your life, the ones you are most proud of, the ones that you remember fondly, the ones that still make you smile to this day.

Tell me about your deepest hurts and fears. Tell me how they came about. Describe to me your hurt. Compare it to something else so that I can understand. Tell me about your fears so that I can see in my mind's eye what you see when you are afraid.

Tell me your desires. What do you long for? What do you desire? What are you missing? What makes you feel unfulfilled? What do you think you need in order to feel complete?

Tell me about yourself and show me God. Show me how God has worked in your soul and in your life. Show me what God has done in you and through you, with you and for you. Show me the difference in your life from before you knew God until now, when God is in your life.

Tell me your secret to your success. Tell me the confessions of your failures. Tell me the way of the Lord and if you have walked His Way at all. Tell me something new, something I can learn from you. Tell me something interesting, or funny, or entertaining, so that I can laugh and feel understood.

Tell me what you think you need, or want, or have, and ask me, what I need, want or have. Try to reach me, the depths of me, the inner darkness, the inner light. Try to find the source of my joys and sorrows. Try to find out my secrets, my stories, my loves and hates.

Tell me where your buttons are, and help me not to push them. Tell me what you want me to know, deep down in your heart and soul. Tell me something that nobody else knows. Allow me access to your soul.

Tell me where you are at in life, and what you seek to find. Tell me how to rock your world, how to float your boat, how to make your heart beat faster. Tell me what you want to know, what you need to know, what you look for to fulfill your soul.

The Farmer And His Sons

-
Taken from Headway's Intermediate Student's Book: The Farmer And His Sons There was once an old, dying farmer who had worked hard in his vineyard all his life.  Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers.  So he called them to his bedside and said, 'My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard.  Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead.' The sons gave their promise and as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure.  They worked very hard in the hot sun and while they were working they thought about what their father had said.  They pictured boxes of cold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things.  Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard but they found not a single penny.  They were very upset because they felt that all their hard work had been for nothing.   However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines.  Their grapes ...

Speech technique No.2 - the Unifying Metaphor

-
The Unifying Metaphor: As opposed to a simile which compares two objects using a specific linguistic form, eg. the man was as brave as a lion, a metaphor compares two objects by equating the one with the other, eg. he was a brave lion.   Literally the man was not a lion, but figuratively he was.   This figure of speech is used in literary works of all kinds, including poems and news articles. The Unifying Metaphor aims to unify people.   An example of an American metaphor is the Camel man.   He is healthy, strong and tanned, and he can survive in the wild bushveld with merely a pocketknife and a piece of string.   He drives a 4x4, and he works hard all day.   This is the image of the Camel man – please correct me if I’m wrong.   The logic and truth behind this image may elude us, but what unifies us is what Elgin (1980: p. 227) calls the consensus perception . As a unity, we have reached consensus about the perception of the Camel man.   The theory reminds of the Jung’s colle...

Bevor ich geboren bin, bin ich gestorben.

Bevor ich geboren bin, bin ich gestorben. Warum bleiben dann Gefühle meines eigenen Gewissens? Warum bleiben die Gedanken und die Träume meines eigenen Lebens, wenn mich doch Gott neu geschaffen hat, mir neues Blut gegeben hat, mich in eine neue Familie hat gebracht? Ich will nicht mehr traurig sein, dass mein Leben mir wie nichts vorkommt, dass ich mir so unglaublich wertlos vorkomme, und stattdessen will ich den Glauben fassen, dass Gott mich tatsächlich in Seinen Händen trägt, und mich wirklich beschützt vom Bösen. Ich will mich vergessen, mich verlieben, und dann für andere leben, für einen Sinn außerhalb meiner Wünsche, eine Gnade und Liebe erfahren, die nicht aus dieser Welt stammt, sondern ganz weit entfernt und doch so nah. Ich freue mich auf keinen Tod, doch meiner ist schon vergangen, und mein neues Leben hat schon begonnen, jedoch sieht es manchmal nicht danach aus, und ich schäme mich, dass ich mich nicht mehr hab vertraut an den Herrn, den lieben ...
