Be worried or not be worried // se preocupar ou não se preocupar

Preocupação não vai impedir as coisas ruins de aconetcerem, ela só vai impedir você de aproveitar as boas coisas.


For two days now I’m having this pain in my neck, no really able of sitting or standing for long, or looking up is not an easy job neither is to complain about it.  It has been a while since the Fibromyalgia had given me a break; I was content, but when the worries come so does the pain.

It’s hard not to worry about anything, or even control the urge of worrying. Sometimes it is like an addiction, the worry, you know. You feel like you have to because if you don’t, you might feel guilty or irresponsible. But Jesus said that you and I cannot add an hour in our lifespan with worry. So why bother? Do you solve anything by worrying this much? I don’t think so.

However, sometimes it is inevitable. Like, someone is about to receive the news that will change his life forever, what do you think? He will worry, I will worry, anybody would worry. We get anxious. Why do we feel this way? Because if we don’t, people might get the wrong impression, right? Like you are insensitive, have a hard and cold heart.

I understand. We don’t notice that. It is like in our nature to worry. Because we care. We care for our friends, we care for our family members, we care, so we worry. It is ok, since this worry doesn’t make you sick, or bothers others.

Jesus wants you to tell him all your worries, and trust Him, that he is on his way to help you. But you know, it will be his way of doing. He is the best, believe me. Better, believe Him.
No matter what comes in your way, He is with you. He’ll take the hit. Let Him be your shield, your protection. Ask him.

Let’s pray: Dear Lord, fill my heart with your peace. Come to me and be my shield, my protection, my lawyer, be my doctor, my immune system. Be with me, Be in me. Take the hit for me, because I can’t take it, I might faint. I’m too weak, be by my side; let me feel your presence, In Jesus name, Amen.

Já são dois dias que eu estou com essa dor no meu pescoço. Não ser capaz de sentar ou ficar em pé muito tempo, nem reclamar sobre isso, não tem sido fácil. Já fazia um tempo que a fibromialgia tinha me dado um tempo, eu estava até contente com isso. Mas quando as preocupações vêm, as dores também vêm.

É difícil não se preocupar com nada, ou mesmo controlar a necessidade de se preocupar. Às vezes parece um vício, a preocupação, sabe.  Você sente como se tivesse, porque se você não se preocupa, você se sente culpado ou irresponsável. Mas Jesus disse que ao se preocupar não adicionaremos nenhuma hora no nosso tempo de vida, então para que se incomodar? Resolve algo ao se preocupar? Acho que não.

No entanto, às vezes é inevitável. Como alguém que está para receber uma notícia que vai mudar sua vida para sempre, o que você acha? Tem como não se preocupar? Eu me preocuparia e ficaria ansiosa, certo? Por que nos sentimos desse jeito? Porque se não nos sentimos assim, as pessoas podem ter a impressão errada sobre nós, podem pensar que somos insensíveis ou ter um coração duro e frio.

Eu entendo. Nós não percebemos que agimos assim. É como se estivesse na nossa natureza se preocupar. Porque nós nos importamos. Nós amamos nossos amigos, família, e por isso nos preocupamos. Tudo bem, desde que essa preocupação não te deixe doente, ou incomode os outros.

Jesus quer que você diga para ele todas as suas preocupações, e confie nele, porque ele já está à caminho para te ajudar. Ele é o melhor, acredite. Melhor, acredite Nele. Não importa o que vem no seu caminho, Ele está com você. Ele vai tomar a pancada por você. Deixe-o ser seu escudo, sua proteção. Peça a Ele.

Oremos: Senhor Deus, enche meu coração com sua paz. Vem para mim e seja meu escudo, minha proteção, meu advogado, meu médico, meu sistema imune. Esteja comigo, esteja dentro de mim. Receba a pancada por mim, porque eu não aguento, eu posso desmaiar. Eu sou muito fraca; esteja ao meu lado e permita que eu sinta sua presença. Em nome de Jesus, amém.

Come and See + Judge correctly // Venha e Veja + Julgue corretamente

Venha e Veja   Two verses stood out for me this morning. John 7:17-18 and 7:24.   “ Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.   18  Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.” John 7:24 “ Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”   That was Jesus talking.  I lately heard that some people with vast knowledge of the Bible (we all want to believe) are being led astray through the vain doctrines of this world. Meaning, that some church leaders or people have earned the people's trust by telling them lies about the teachings of the Bible. People seek their own popularity by agreeing with the lies the world has offered them.  I have seen churches with flags and teaching doctrines that the Bible condemns. They have twisted the Word of God to be more acceptable and palatab

Pointing finger // Apontar o dedo

Recently I was studying the Sermon on the mount in a bible study at the church. It was wonderful to meditate and go deep in these Jesus’ words. So many details we sometimes don’t realize. We are very quick to see the flaws and failures of others. But interestingly the things we see faster in others are probably the things we don’t see or won’t see in ourselves. It is easy to point a finger when someone is, for example, throwing trash on the streets, when one doesn’t even bother to do the same at home. In Brazil, we have this saying “blacksmith’s house, woodpecker.” Who are you to point a finger to anyone when you yourself cannot do better? Your sin is no smaller than his. Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ( Matthew 7 :3). Look, sawdust is something small, and plank or log is something much bigger than sawdust. Sometimes we are able to see something very insignificant in othe

Are you lost? // Você está perdido?

Você está perdido? There is always this time in life when we are certain about what to do with our lives. We have a goal, and an objective to reach. However, it is often that life turns the other way around and our plans are made nothing. Frequently I hear people say, “I am lost, I don’t know what to do!” That happens when we put our goals into something that changes. Everything in this world change. You and I are changing by the minute. My thoughts right now are running like crazy, and if I don’t set a goal in something that doesn’t change, I can’t do anything. What is it?   Jesus. The word of God. You might think I am crazy, and lunatic or even a fanatic. But who really knows me, know that I am none of those things. I am a very sensible person who has lived and experienced many things. And I don’t lie. So, if you are experiencing a sense of loss and despair, how about putting your hope in the One who cannot change whatsoever. If you lost you
