Welcome to the Personal Homepage of Alexander Birrer


 


Maybe you were expecting a complete different outfit. The former webpage was heavily influenced by the part of my lifecycle I was in between 20 und 25.


 

The Homepage had to be changed because during the last several years many things have happened to my life and it is completely changed now. Deep in myself I always knew that there is a God. Despite of this believing I also found when I was 16 that life is short and I want to enjoy it as much as possible. My main focus was on egoistic goals such as girls, career-thinking, too much sport, money, always want to be the best and so on. But this part of my lifecycle had really many ups and downs. Although I reached all of my personal goals and was very successful, I wasn’t happy at all. The passion for taking everything out of my life kept me under control. I was wearing a heavy mask and felt lonely. Could this be everything? Is this the sense of my life?

However God is reality, loves me and impacted my life in 2000. After my vacation in Australia I found Jesus. This means I started having a real relationship to God through his son Jesus Christ. At that time I realized that God gave his own son (a part of him) to die for me. He carried all the punishments, which I actually deserved for the sin and failings I did. All I had to do was receiving this present of God in a prayer and giving my life back to God (let him take control over my will). This prayer turned my life 180 degrees, because without sin I could now honestly look into the eyes of God and talk to him about everything. He started changing me completely and taking control of my life and my will which was such a release of all the pressure and ups and downs I had before. Since then I know that I am wanted on this earth as I am. I could throw my mask away and start a new life in freedom and with a real sense in my life. So, I never feel alone and know that I can pray to Jesus whenever and wherever I want to. It's just great!

God accompanied me through the end of my studies at university and gave me a good job. After a while (and many prayers) He also showed me the woman of my life who I married in 2005. And we even got a great baby-girl in March 2007! Furthermore, I also found great friends in a young Christian church www.icf.ch, where I stayed from 2001 until 2005. Since 2006 I've been refocusing from big to small and investing into the building up of small churches. But it's not about church and not about religion! It's about Jesus and what he's done for us!

The best advice I can give is that even if you don't really believe in God, start seeking Him. He says in the bible that if you look for God, you'll find Him and He will answer you. This means for you: Start praying to Him at yourself in your own words (at home, in your bed). Tell Him to show (prove) you his existence. If you do that and be honest to him, He won't let you down! I did so and it’s the best I’ve ever done :-)
