All of you towards one another // De todos vocês para um com o outro

“Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility towards one another for God opposes the proud but gives graces to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5”.

This verse is not only talking to the younger. But to ALL OF YOU. You who is leader, older, wiser, more experienced, better résumé, whatever degree of superiority you think you have, or you do have indeed, you are also included. Clothe yourselves, ALL OF YOU, with HUMILITY TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. Here your position doesn’t count much. Do you think you have been humiliated enough? Sorry, you are not the who decided when is enough. Because God opposes the proud. Until you learn how to be truly humble, I’m guessing the humiliation will keep coming, if you want to receive His grace.

Be humble according to the thesaurus – marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude or spirit; not arrogant or prideful. Showing deferential or submissive respect.

If you think you can’t be humble in all of the parts of your life, maybe you think it is enough what you’ve been through for this lifetime, you must start asking God to gift you with meekness, love, and a humble heart; to help you accept the attacks from the enemy wisely (who is not your neighbor, but the Devil) and start facing it as an opportunity to train your heart to acquire this ability. Stop taking everything so personal. It is personal from the devil, not from your neighbor. It is the devil doesn’t want you to thrive, not your neighbor.

With humility TOWARD ONE ANOTHER. All of you, with humility, towards one another. You can’t choose. It is from all of us towards all of us - humbleness, love, patience towards one another. We all have flaws; we all make mistakes. We all, somehow, give a hard time to someone else. So, accept that you are no better, no different. Accept that the other, just like you, want to be accepted too.
Please, LORD, gift me with a humble heart, it is too hard for me to put behind all the hurts from the past. It is too hard to accept that I am not the best, or even better than someone. Help me to get past my pride. I need you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“Da mesma forma, vocês que são mais jovens, estejam sujeitos aos mais velhos. Vistam a si mesmos, todos vocês, com humildade um com o outro, porque Deus se opõe aos orgulhosos, mas dá graças aos humildes. 1 Pedro 5: 5 ”.

Este verso não está falando apenas com o mais novo. Mas para todos vocês. Você que é líder, mais velho, mais sábio, mais experiente, melhor currículo, qualquer que seja o grau de superioridade que você acha que tem, ou você realmente tem, você também está incluído. Vistam-se TODOS VOCÊS, com HUMILDADE PARA COM O OUTRO. Aqui a sua posição não conta muito. Você acha que foi humilhado o suficiente? Desculpe, você não é quem decide quando é o suficiente. Porque Deus se opôs ao orgulhoso. Até você aprender a ser verdadeiramente humilde, suponho que a humilhação continuará chegando, se você quer receber a graça dele.

Seja humilde de acordo com o dicionário - marcado pela mansidão ou modéstia no comportamento, atitude ou espírito; não arrogante ou orgulhoso. Mostrando respeito ou submissão respeitosa.

Se você acha que não pode ser humilde em todas as partes da sua vida, talvez você sinta que já é o bastante o que você passou durante esta vida, você deve começar a pedir a Deus para presenteá-lo com mansidão, amor e um coração humilde; para ajudá-lo a aceitar sabiamente os ataques do inimigo (que não é seu vizinho, mas o Diabo) e começar a enfrentá-lo como uma oportunidade de treinar seu coração para adquirir essa habilidade. Pare de tomar tudo tão pessoal. É pessoal do diabo, não do seu vizinho. É o diabo não quer que você prospere, não o seu vizinho.

Com humildade UM PARA O OUTRO. Todos vocês, com humildade, um para o outro. Você não pode escolher. É de todos nós para todos nós - humildade, amor, paciência um com o outro. Todos nós temos falhas; todos nós cometemos erros. Nós todos de alguma forma, fazemos a vida de alguém difícil. Então, aceite que você não é melhor, não é diferente. Aceite que o outro, assim como você, quer ser aceito também.

Por favor, Senhor, presenteie-me com um coração humilde, é muito difícil para mim deixar para trás todas as mágoas do passado. É muito difícil aceitar que não sou o melhor, ou melhor que alguém. Ajude-me a superar meu orgulho. Eu preciso de você. Em Nome de Jesus, Amém.

My take on these stories // Minha opinião nessas histórias

The 2 Samuel 9 and 10 are about David’s kindness toward others. One person received his kindness humbly, knowing that wasn’t expected from that king in particular. Saul was the first king of Israel and did not obey the word of the LORD. Therefore, the kingdom was taken away from him and his lineage. God announced to Saul that he was going to give the kingdom to someone else. Being David. Because David was not a descendant of Saul, once he started reigning, it was expected that the new king, non-descendant of the former, would kill all the former king’s descendants so no one would stand in the line of succession. Bu David did not do that. Instead, he chose to show kindness toward the last person from Saul’s house.  Saul’s grandson accepted David’s kindness. And we have a beautiful story about grace.  Chapter 10, however, tells a different story. A story of a man who didn’t accept David’s kindness because that was what he was. A person who suspected everyone around him. He ...

Arise and eat // Levante e coma

  He came to a broom bush, sat under it, and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”   5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once, an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”   6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the  Lord  came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”   8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. (1 Kings 19: 4-8) How many times have you wished that this life were over? I have wished that many times. Sometimes it is just too painful, or sad, or hopeless, isn’t it? You know, Elijah...

Choose to be full of...// Escolha ser cheio de...

Can you choose to be   Joyful? (Full of joy) Peaceful? (full of peace) Patient? (full of patience) Kind? (full of kindness) Good? (full of goodness) Faithful? (full of faith) Gentle? (full of gentleness) Generous? (full of generosity) Self-controlled? (totally self-controlled) Can you choose to be like that all the time? To everyone?   What other religion would promise you that? I am not saying that all Christians are like that all the time. No, we are not, unfortunately. However, we are prone to be more successful than others, do you know why?  When Jesus was lifted to the heavens after his resurrection, he promised that a few days later, His Spirit would come to live in us. The Holy Spirit is our helper. When we live a godly life, a prayer life, and are filled with the Holy Spirit, those are the characteristics that should be seen in us—if not all of them, at least most of them.  Would you like to live like that? To treat people like that? Well, I suppose so. ...
