God cares about who we are primarily, not what we do. It is our character and approach to life that he cares about. God wants us to choose him and put him first which ultimately means being a servant to him and others.

Tim Crawshaw
Tim Crawshaw (* 1978) ist ein australischer christlicher Autor, Sprecher und Landschaftsfotograf, der vor allem in Tasmanien wirkt. Er vertritt eine charismatisch-evangelikale Spiritualität, die Naturerlebnisse mit geistlicher Einkehr verbindet und eine persönliche Gottesbeziehung abseits institutionalisierter Kirchenstrukturen betont. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften alltagsnahe, kontemplative Impulse über die Zuwendung Gottes und die Freiheit von religiösem Leistungsdenken.
