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.

Pointing finger // Apontar o dedo

Recently I was studying the Sermon on the mount in a bible study at the church. It was wonderful to meditate and go deep in these Jesus’ words. So many details we sometimes don’t realize. We are very quick to see the flaws and failures of others. But interestingly the things we see faster in others are probably the things we don’t see or won’t see in ourselves. It is easy to point a finger when someone is, for example, throwing trash on the streets, when one doesn’t even bother to do the same at home. In Brazil, we have this saying “blacksmith’s house, woodpecker.” Who are you to point a finger to anyone when you yourself cannot do better? Your sin is no smaller than his. Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ( Matthew 7 :3). Look, sawdust is something small, and plank or log is something much bigger than sawdust. Sometimes we are able to see something very insignificant in othe...

Are you lost? // Você está perdido?

Você está perdido? There is always this time in life when we are certain about what to do with our lives. We have a goal, and an objective to reach. However, it is often that life turns the other way around and our plans are made nothing. Frequently I hear people say, “I am lost, I don’t know what to do!” That happens when we put our goals into something that changes. Everything in this world change. You and I are changing by the minute. My thoughts right now are running like crazy, and if I don’t set a goal in something that doesn’t change, I can’t do anything. What is it?   Jesus. The word of God. You might think I am crazy, and lunatic or even a fanatic. But who really knows me, know that I am none of those things. I am a very sensible person who has lived and experienced many things. And I don’t lie. So, if you are experiencing a sense of loss and despair, how about putting your hope in the One who cannot change whatsoever. If you lost...

Come and See + Judge correctly // Venha e Veja + Julgue corretamente

Venha e Veja   Two verses stood out for me this morning. John 7:17-18 and 7:24.   “ Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.   18  Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.” John 7:24 “ Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”   That was Jesus talking.  I lately heard that some people with vast knowledge of the Bible (we all want to believe) are being led astray through the vain doctrines of this world. Meaning, that some church leaders or people have earned the people's trust by telling them lies about the teachings of the Bible. People seek their own popularity by agreeing with the lies the world has offered them.  I have seen churches with flags and teaching doctrines that the Bible condemns. They have twisted the ...
