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.

I see Grace in the time of the Law // Eu vejo Graça no tempo da Lei

People frequently say that the Old Testament is the time of the law, and now we are under the Grace of God. Surprisingly, I just found out an explicit act of the Grace of God in the Old Testament. As I read chapter 9 of Deuteronomy , in which has a title Not because of Righteousness (ESV). I am stunned to see verses 4 - 6, they say: “ Do not say in your heart , after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘ It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. 5 Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.6 “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving y...

No "trouble-free" card for you // Nenhum cartão "livre-de-problemas" para você

  The Word of the Lord is beautiful and true. In there, you find so many poems. This is the form the Bible authors chose to communicate the Word of the LORD, and it is profound. I’ve been listening to the Bible Project podcast for more than a year now. Lately, they are covering the theme of “The Wilderness”. Now, everywhere I read in the Scripture, I see something related to it. It is amazing. I am now in the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 43. And guess what? It is wonderful. Just in the first few verses, you find that God is telling His people that it doesn’t matter what sort of hardship they are going through, He, the Creator, will deliver them. Actually, it is said like this: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior....

The oppressive urge to speak // A necessidade opressiva de falar

  Should I keep quiet forever? Is silence that bad? Can’t I stand my own thoughts that I need to say out loud? What kind of thoughts come to my mind? Are they generally good or bad? If I choose to speak up, to whom would it benefit? If anyone ever. Let me be clear: It is better not to say a word than say words that will do more harm than good. What if it is the truth? I ask, why would you say it? How would you say it? The truth will come out eventually. You don’t need to lie or be rude. What we must do is to be kind. If I tell you the truth in a harsh way, will you accept, or will you only hear the harsh sound of my voice and ignore completely what I was trying to say? Sometimes, not even the kindest words won’t make it through because the listener isn’t listening at all. The listener doesn’t care about your opinion, doesn’t care about others. The listener just cares about himself. The listener just wants to say w...
