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.

Solitude and Silence // Solidão e silêncio

  In moments of peace and tranquility, it is useful to remember times of stress and struggle by Thomas à Kempis Whenever you are enjoying some time of peace and rest, it is useful to call to mind those times when you have been busy, overworked, or stressed. Whenever you are enjoying the calmness of solitude and silence, it is useful to reflect on those occasions when you have been assaulted with noise and activity. Indeed, calling such things to mind is a sure and effective way of learning to love and value the peaceful tranquility of your times of solitude! If you reflect upon how easily you can become anxious or worried, or how little it takes to perturb your soul, you will also realize that the achievement of true inner peace is not something which human efforts can ever achieve on their own. Left to yourself, how often you have fallen prey to anxiety, even when there is little or no real need to worry! How often, even when you are surro...

We are the Winners // Nós somos os vencedores

  The death of my cousin made me think about a few things. Yes, it was a sad thing. So unexpected. It got us all by surprise, which hurt. He was such a nice, joyful, and lively guy or man. He will certainly be missed. What we have here but the present. My mom and my other cousin spoke at the funeral. Yes, we have nothing here. It makes no sense at all to get attached to things of this world when at any moment we might leave it. Our days are numbered, but we don’t know how many we were given. How are you living your days? Sometimes we take it for granted because we are young or have health and may think that we have a whole life ahead of us. But do we really? Some live their lives as if all they have to do is party. As if parties were the most important thing in the world. Fun is part of life, so are sadness, problems and relationships, and hard times. Are we going to take something from this world when we die? I am pretty sure we a...

Tear them down // Destrua-os

I like Gideon’s story because I used to use it to justify my lack of faith. Although if I had seen an angel, I probably wouldn’t doubt it. But when hard times come, we tend to be more skeptic because our mindset is: “If the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” ( Judges 6 :13) Isn’t that right? However, we usually forget our sins. The idols we have put in our lives, our disobedience. We certainly are not praying as much as we should; we have let other things become a priority. It is not like God is punishing us, they might as well be simply the consequences of our disobedience. Then when God decided to help, He wants to know what is in our heart. So, He demands to tear down all our idols. Are you willing to do that? Your job, your career, your friends, your family, your bank account, your health, the food, the entertainment, and so on.   Make God priority again. Yes, you doubt because you think all your priority was...
