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.

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...
