When she is not around // Quando ela não está por perto

One day we will lose her. Some of us has already lost her. Others have never met her. I can’t even imagine the size of this pain. Many still have her but don’t give her the attention she needs. Some would love to, but they are far away.

Maybe you don’t see yourself in any of these scenarios. Luck you! But those who have identify oneself in one of these options may be suffering a great deal or trying to hide their feelings. I don’t know the reasons that have taken you here when every year when most of your friends are celebrating their mothers, and you are not.


If it is possible if she is still alive, please try to contact her before is too late. She won’t be here forever. Put yourself on her shoes. I am sure all that she has done was because she truly believed she was doing her best, even if she wasn’t trying that hard, do yourself your best. Show her that you still love her and miss her. She only wants your attention and compassion, maybe your forgiveness, after all, we all make mistakes.

But if you were abandoned, remember Psalm 27:10The LORD will take me in, for my father and my mother have forsaken me”. In Isaiah 49:15 says “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I (God) will not forget you”. I have no idea how this hurt, but I trust that if you are still standing here it is because God has been taking care of you and has been providing for you.


But, if you are brokenhearted because of the past or something that still is hurting, or you don’t know how to deal with your pain, listen: “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the affliction of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them allPsalm 34:18– 19.

1 For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under the heavens.
2     a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8     a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 8.

Let’s make sure that we pay very close attention to the bold parts, and shift if necessary, to them.

Dear Lord, heal my heart so next weekend all the remembrance of her go easy on me. I loved her, and I am thankful for you to have given me, through her, life. You have taken care of me. Help me, if it is possible to be reunited with her. In your Precious name, Jesus, Amen.


Um dia nós vamos perdê-la. Alguns de nós já perdeu. Outros nem a conheceram. Eu não posso nem imaginar o tamanho da dor. Muito ainda a tem, mas não lhe dá a atenção que ela precisa. Alguns adorariam, mas estão muito distantes.

Talvez você não se veja em nenhum desses cenários. Sortudo! Mas aqueles que tem se identificado em alguma dessas opções pode estar sofrendo bastante ou tentando esconder seus sentimentos. Eu não sei quais as razões que o trouxe até aqui, onde todo ano, quando a maioria dos seus amigos estarão celebrando suas mães, e você não.

Se for possível, se ela ainda estiver viva, por favor tente contatá-la, antes que seja tarde demais. Ela não estará aqui para sempre. Se coloque no lugar dela. Eu tenho certeza que tudo o que ela fez, foi porque ela realmente acreditava que estava fazendo seu melhor, e mesmo que ela não tenha tentado tanto, faça então você o seu melhor. Mostre a ela que você ainda a ama e que sente saudades. Ela somente quer sua atenção e compaixão, talvez seu perdão, afinal de contas todos nós cometemos erros.

Mas, se você foi abandonado, se lembre de Salmos 27:10Ainda que me abandonem pai e mãe, o Senhor me acolherá.” Em Isaías 49:15 diz, “Haverá mãe que possa esquecer seu bebê que ainda mama e não ter compaixão do filho que gerou? Embora ela possa esquecê-lo, eu não me esquecerei de você! Eu não faço ideia como isso dói, mas eu confio que se você está hoje aqui em pé é porque Deus tem cuidado e provido para você.

Mas, se você está com o coração machucado por causa do passado, ou algo que ainda magoa, ou ainda não sabe como lidar com a dor, ouça: “O Senhor está perto dos que têm o coração quebrantado e salva os de espírito abatido. O justo passa por muitas adversidades,
mas o Senhor o livra de todas; Salmos 34: 18 – 19.

1 Para tudo há uma ocasião certa; há um tempo certo para cada propósito debaixo do céu:
2 Tempo de nascer e tempo de morrer, tempo de plantar e tempo de arrancar o que se plantou,
3  tempo de matar e tempo de curar, tempo de derrubar e tempo de construir,
4 tempo de chorar e tempo de rir, tempo de prantear e tempo de dançar,
5 tempo de espalhar pedras e tempo de ajuntá-las, tempo de abraçar e tempo de se conter,
6 tempo de procurar e tempo de desistir, tempo de guardar e tempo de jogar fora,
7 tempo de rasgar e tempo de costurar, tempo de calar e tempo de falar,
8 tempo de amar e tempo de odiar, tempo de lutar e tempo de viver em paz. Eclesiastes 3:1 – 8

Vamos nos certificar que prestamos bem atenção nas partes em negrito, e mudar para elas se necessário.

Senhor querido, sara meu coração para que no próximo fim de semana as lembranças dela não doam tanto. Eu a amei, e eu sou grato for ter me dado, através dela, a vida. Ajuda-me, se possível reunir-me com ela. No Seu precioso nome, Jesus, amém.

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...

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 ...
