Acts28,1 Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. > They just get washed somewhere ... did not even know where they are - wild storm
2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. > I like the details: Raining and cold. How would they feel landing in Denmark ore Sweden ore north England... /but anyway/ The people on the iland mad fire for them. Interesting Luke is their. He experienced it by him self... Wild life traveling with Paul - how much wildness am i willing to experience?FOR GOD!
3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. > Again the details - driven out by the heat - NOT by a demon / 
4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live. > They think spiritual: though he escape from the sea /JUSTICE could find him. // 
5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. > Bad things happend. Devastating things happend BUT Paul just shook it of. Will see, what happens!
6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time >LONG TIME< and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. > They change their minds
7 There was an estate near by that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably. > Who - all the 275 people?
8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. > Paul is helping and healing and saving him self from death. Paul was shining like the sun. Paul was so connected with GOD!
9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. > WOW - how did the centurion experience this. Why would he not set Paul just free? Why should anybody try to keep Paul as a prisoner.('Little bit like Green Mile')  - what is going on here.
When did ever be a hole island be cured - not to speak that it just happend because of a single men.10 They honoured us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed. > Why could this hole cure sail comfortable? Because prisoner Paul was with them.

I had a phone-call today: i never have the impact compared to Paul. Not at all. But God is using me as well. We had some great thing going on here and i shared it. It was not appreciated at all. But some other things where. Wired things in my opinion. What is this all about?

At least it shows the disunity

Paul was not appreciated at all! Paul never stopped to be giving at all! Even he was in chains! And even Jesus - 99% of the time he was not understood! But he gave his life - HE LOVED!

How powerful are you God
How did you never stop to love from all your heart?
