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.

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...
