Give it away // Doe





She asked him for forever
And a promise that would last
He said, babe you know I love you
But I can't commit to that
She said, love isn't love
'Till you give it away

A father lived in silence
Saw his son become a man
There was a distance felt between them
'Cause he could not understand
That love isn't love
'Till you give it away
You gotta give it away

As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice

We can entertain compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesn't lead to anywhere
Cause love isn't love
'Till you give it away
You gotta give it away

As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice
Love is like a river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink from the water
And our thirst is no longer denied
You gotta give it away

As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice
There was a man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
'Cause his love was his life
And he gave it away
You gotta give it away

As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice

Until we don’t learn to put ourselves aside, we cannot love properly. Love without wanting something in return isn’t love. “I love you” doesn’t require some “I love you too”. You don’t love because… you just love. You choose not to love because you are afraid of getting hurt. Love bears all things. The love Jesus asked us to practice is this kind of love, for anyone.  To love, we should, no, we must put aside ourselves interests and choose to give our best to our neighbor, near or far, good or evil, fair or unfair. He didn’t say to us to pick one person, one type, one nationality, one color. He just kept saying – Love one another, as He has. He loved the Samaritan woman, the blind, the cripple.

I like Paul’s description of love.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13: 1 – 7)

You can have anything in the world, you can be the best, the wisest, the most famous, but if you don’t love… that is all for nothing.
Ela pediu-lhe para sempre
E uma promessa que duraria
Ele disse, querida, você sabe que eu te amo
Mas não posso me comprometer com isso
Ela disse, amor não é amor
Até que você o dá

Um pai viveu em silêncio
Viu seu filho se tornar um homem
Havia uma distância sentida entre eles
Porque ele não conseguia entender
Esse amor não é amor
Até que você o dá
Você tem que doar

Enquanto vivemos
Movendo-se lado a lado
Podemos aprender a dar
Aprenda a sacrificar

Podemos divertir compaixão
Para um mundo que precisa de cuidados
Mas o caminho das boas intenções
Não leva a lugar nenhum
Porque o amor não é amor
Até que vocÊ o dá
Você tem que doar

Enquanto vivemos
Movendo-se lado a lado
Podemos aprender a dar
Aprenda a sacrificar
O amor é como um rio
Fluindo para baixo do doador da vida
Bebemos da água
E nossa sede não é mais negada
Você tem que doar

Enquanto vivemos
Movendo-se lado a lado
Podemos aprender a dar
Aprenda a sacrificar
Havia um homem que andava sobre a água
Ele veio para libertar as pessoas
Ele foi o melhor exemplo
Do que o amor pode realmente ser
Porque o amor dele era a vida dele
E ele entregou
Você tem que doar

Enquanto vivemos
Movendo-se lado a lado
Podemos aprender a dar
Aprenda a sacrificar

Até que não aprendamos a nos deixar de lado, não podemos amar adequadamente. Amar sem querer algo em troca não é amor. "Eu te amo" não requer um "eu também te amo". Você não ama porque ... você apenas ama. Você escolhe não amar porque tem medo de se machucar. O amor suporta todas as coisas. O amor que Jesus nos pediu para praticar é esse tipo de amor para qualquer um. Para amar, , devemos deixar de lado os interesses e optar por dar o melhor de nosso próximo, próximo ou distante, bom ou mau, justo ou injusto. Ele não nos disse para escolher uma pessoa, um tipo, uma nacionalidade, uma cor. Ele apenas continuou dizendo - Ame um ao outro, como Ele tem amado. Ele amou a mulher samaritana, o cego, o aleijado.

Eu gosto da descrição de amor de Paul.

"Se falo nas línguas dos homens e dos anjos, mas não tenho amor, sou um gongo barulhento ou um prato barulhento. 2 E se tenho poderes proféticos, e compreendo todos os mistérios e todo conhecimento, e se tenho toda fé, de modo a remover montanhas, mas não tenho amor, não sou nada. 3 Se eu der tudo o que tenho, e se entregar meu corpo para ser queimado, mas não tiver amor, não ganho nada.

4 O amor é paciente e gentil; o amor não inveja nem se vangloria; não é arrogante 5 ou rude. Não insiste em seu próprio caminho; não é irritável nem ressentido; [b] 6 não se alegra com o mal, mas se alegra com a verdade. 7 O amor suporta todas as coisas, acredita em todas as coisas, espera todas as coisas, suporta todas as coisas". (1 Coríntios 13: 1-7)

Você pode ter qualquer coisa no mundo, pode ser o melhor, o mais sábio, o mais famoso, mas se você não ama ... isso é tudo por nada.

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...
