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.

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. ...
