It takes the glory of God to conceal a matter
and the honor of kings to search it out........... (Proverbs 25:2)
Ai me kish rekomanduar nje liber te vecante, dhe me fliste mbi te dhe sesa shume e kishte frymezuar. Dhe patjeter qe une entuziazmohem prej gjerave qe me sfidojne dhe frymezojne dhe sidomos per gjerat e thella qe bisedojme bashke. Ai me ate 'quiet and sure strength coupled with discernment' dhe une me ate entuziazmin e dukshem.....We stay for hours and hours talking about deep things. I can't help it . My brother brings out the best in me.
Libri titullohet 'The one who knows God' shkruar nga Clement of Alexandria, mesimet e nje te krishteri qe jetonte ne vitin 100 AD. Ishte ne kohen kur te besuarit ne nje Zot nuk ishte e korruptuar prej politikave etj etj por ishte nje zanafille e paster. Dhe meqe sipas historianeve Bibla quhet edhe liber historik prej fakteve historike ne te, Klementi duke jetuar ne gjeneracionin e dyte, nuk e kish takuar Jezusin,por prej nxenesve te tij (gjeneracioni i pare, deshmitare okulare) ka mesuar per te dhe prej kesaj ,vijne mesimet e ketij libri gje qe jane strikingly the same as that of the Bible.
Me pelqen jeta e tij, ka nota te ngjashme me jeten time.
(part of the book)
" Although born of unbelieving parents ,Clement realized that there must be a deeper meaning to life than the mundane pursuit of material riches and sensual pleasures. He heard about men who renounced the ordinary pursuits of life in order to seek after truth.These men were called philosophers which means ' lovers of wisdom'. Clement came to be one of the most learned men of his day.Yet, he sensed that the philosophers had only knocked on the door of truth-that there was still greater truth that they had never discovered. When he finally heard of the gospel (greek=good news) of Jesus Christ ,he knew this was the great truth he had been seeking all of his life."

Kerkimi per dicka me te madhe eshte kaq shume reale tek njerezit. Po e kuptoj akoma me shume tani kor kohet e fundit, pergjegjesja ne cliniken me kerkoi te bej terapi ne grup me teme shpirterore edhe pse ajo s'beson fare. haha. 'You'd be the best person to do this' -she said.
Edhe pse ne fund te fundit terapia merret me permiresimin e vetvetes ( not rosy theme for sure since we almost always want to run from ourselves) nuk eshte e plote pa futur elementin shpirteror. The feedback form people has been great. It's like people are craving something to cling to. I am not suprised. The world is always craving for Heroes.
As for me, now that I have found God or better yet, now that God has found me..., I am in a different kind of quest than i was years ago. The quest to know him fully just like Jesus says: I have come to give you life to the fullest. This sentence in the gospel of John is driving me crazy What does it truly mean to live fully?
or another sentence that drives me crazy is : It is for freedom that CHrist has set us free, stand firm then and do not be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
I want to find out, what fully and freedom means, I thought I knew, but in every stage of life I find new meaning to those sentences, it's like rediscovering myself all over, it's like falling in love all over.
And from this quest, I find myself constantly on my toes( which is great because i hate complacency) ,constantly re-evaluating, searching, expanding, learning new things, discarding old ones and I love it.
I am reminded of Rumi's verse in one of his poetries :
I've forgotten all my learning, but from knowing you I 've become a scholar. 
This is written for a man passionately loving a woman but I say it may be applied to passionately knowing God as well. I seriously feel like I have just touched the tip of the ice-berg in learning about things. There's so much to learn, there's so much to grow in wisdom, there's so much to experience and know God. I WILL be a student forever, a student of God, studying on God ,therefore studying on life. That's theology right? ( theo+ logos= study on God)
Theologian, scholar, philosopher, hunger of truth and knowledge,mathematician, physician, astronomer, fishermen, artist, thinker,whoever---Do you breathe? Do you think? Do you have a figment of reasoning? Then you are qualified to search and find God.
This reminds me of Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you ' declares the Lord' plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me,and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
uhyyy ,kur frymezohem une, iken koha.
