Now I was ready to hear, what Christians had to say to that question. So I went back to the Conference, only to discuss: "What is our purpose in life if I only have this one?"

After many discussions and talks throughout days and nights, we went back to Vienna. At that point I already felt I had to read the Bible. So I bought one and started to read it. And as I went through the text, it was as if curtains were ripped open in front of my eyes! I had one revelation after the other! I fell in love with the Bible and went to every class and Bible-lesson that was offered in Vienna. I wasn't concerned with anything else for weeks.

One morning I sat in church and heard that we are loved without any condition. We can do nothing good to be more loved by God, we can't do anything bad to be less loved by Him. His love is always the same for us! We are loved unconditionally already! No matter what! All of us!

I had just understood or grasped a glimpse of the expression: Amazing Grace!
If that was true, why then were we so afraid of not being accepted or respected by others? Why then was I so dependent on the opinion of others? Why were we so afraid of making mistakes in front others? Why are we afraid at all?
