Out of the heart // Sai do coração

Pensamentos felizes!!

“It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person… but what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts…” (Mathew 15:11, 18, 19a).

In those days when Jesus was walking on the earth, people used to follow the law strictly, without even knowing what that means. They followed it blindly. They didn’t have the habit of examining themselves. They thought just because you follow the law strictly, you are ok, you are righteous. But Jesus came to interpret the law to a deeper level. He wasn’t paying attention to the exterior, but the interior. In another opportunity, Jesus also said, “For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” (Matthew 12:34b)

If you are a person who has hope, you are going to speak hopeful things. If you a person with envy, you are going to speak about things or people that you envy. If you are afraid of something, you are going to say things that you are afraid of. Without noticing, we say things that are in our heart. If I am suffering, I am not able to see the happiness around me so easily, because I am suffering, and people around me will notice.

We should be examining our hearts as often as possible. Why? So, we instead of poisoning people with our evil thoughts, we repent and try to see things from a different perspective. Or at least, let people around you show you how bad you have been.  Let’s pay attention to our obsessions; what are the things you have been frequently talking about? Are you sure that you are not obsessed with that? That maybe about your work, your dreams, your fears, your frustrations, your diseases.

I am not saying that you are not allowed to talk about those things, but you may want to notice what are the words that are coming out of your mouth. Are they lovely or hateful? Are they full of hope or despair? Are you influencing positively or negatively the people around you? Do people come to listen to you, or they leave when you start talking?

Check your heart. Check your mind. What is in it lately? Are you preoccupied? Is there anything else that you can think about?

You might be going through some difficult time, but if you look for deeply you will find good things to be thankful for and speak about them. Everybody loves a thankful heart. Because a thankful heart brings out kindness and kindness bring out love.

Start your day being thankful and finish it also being thankful.

Take your time to thank God how your day has been. If possible, thank God also during the day. Leave your heart in check all the time, so evil thoughts don’t create roots inside your heart, and you start becoming a bitter person, with bitter thoughts, and bitter words.

The world around you behaves in reaction to you.

Bad things happen all the time to everyone, you just have to decide if they are going to take your joy and thankful heart away.
"Não é o que entra na boca que contamina uma pessoa, mas o que sai da boca; isso contamina uma pessoa ... mas o que sai da boca procede do coração, e isso contamina uma pessoa. Pois do coração saem maus pensamentos ... ”(Mateus 15:11, 18, 19a).

Naqueles dias em que Jesus estava andando na terra, as pessoas costumavam seguir a lei rigorosamente, sem nem mesmo saber o que isso significa. Eles a seguiam cegamente. Eles não tinham o hábito de se examinar. Eles pensavam apenas porque você segue a lei estritamente, você está bem, você é justo. Mas Jesus passou a interpretar a lei em um nível mais profundo. Ele não estava prestando atenção no exterior, mas no interior. Em outra oportunidade, Jesus também disse: “Porque a boca fala do que o coração está cheio.” (Mateus 12: 34b)

Se você é uma pessoa que tem esperança, vai falar coisas esperançosas. Se você é uma pessoa com inveja, vai falar sobre coisas ou pessoas que inveja. Se você tem medo de algo, vai dizer coisas das quais tem medo. Sem perceber, dizemos coisas que estão em nosso coração. Se estou sofrendo, não sou capaz de ver a felicidade ao meu redor tão facilmente, porque estou sofrendo, e as pessoas ao meu redor perceberão.

Deveríamos examinar nossos corações o mais rápido possível. Por quê? Então, em vez de envenenar as pessoas com nossos maus pensamentos, nos arrependemos e tentamos ver as coisas de uma perspectiva diferente. Ou, pelo menos, deixe que as pessoas ao seu redor lhe mostrem o quão ruim você tem sido. Vamos prestar atenção em nossas obsessões; sobre o que você tem falado frequentemente? Tem certeza de que não é obcecado por isso? Isso pode ser sobre o seu trabalho, seus sonhos, seus medos, suas frustrações, suas doenças.

Não estou dizendo que você não tem permissão para falar sobre essas coisas, mas você pode notar quais são as palavras que saem da sua boca. Eles são amáveis ​​ou odiosas? Eles estão cheias de esperança ou desespero? Você está influenciando positivamente ou negativamente as pessoas ao seu redor? As pessoas vêm ouvi-lo ou vão embora quando você começa a falar?

Verifique seu coração. Verifique sua mente. O que há nele ultimamente? Você está preocupado? Há mais alguma coisa em que você possa pensar?

Você pode estar passando por um momento difícil, mas se procurar profundamente, encontrará boas coisas para agradecer e falar sobre elas. Todo mundo ama um coração agradecido. Porque um coração agradecido traz bondade e bondade traz amor.

Comece o seu dia agradecendo e termine também agradecendo.

Não se apresse em agradecer a Deus como foi seu dia. Se possível, agradeça a Deus também durante o dia. Deixe seu coração sob controle o tempo todo, para que pensamentos ruins não criem raízes dentro dele e você comece a se tornar uma pessoa amarga, com pensamentos amargos e palavras amargas.

O mundo ao seu redor se comporta em reação a você.

Coisas ruins acontecem o tempo todo com todo mundo, você só precisa decidir se essas coisas vão tirar de você a sua alegria e o seu coração agradecido.

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. ...
