21 days of Purpose

Until April 17th you'll find me here!

Spider God

 

"... because we want so much explanation, answers, and so on. to respect what God has to do in our lives, we just disturbing the simplicity of his actions ..."

On one occasion, a young Christian who, while being pursued by two criminals, held on the trail enters into a forest and there come a long way through the branches, trees and lots of dead leaf that the wind came up toward your face . Until at a certain moment when I realized that as it was fast and smart, the bandits were still in tow, because the trail he left the condemned, he thought to himself:

- I need to find another alternative!

He then saw a far right into a rock that was probably a cave. Do not hesitate. Once inside so he prayed:

- Now! even in here they will find me. My God help me! Give me salvation!

Suddenly comes a little spider who immediately began to weave a fine web, and quickly, and at the Entrance of the cave;

And even more distressed by the fact of seeing them get close, desperately blurted:

- Lord Gosh! I'm dying here asking you a deliverance and the Lord think with a cobweb of these criminals will block me?

Just then, comes as the two men and a hinted-enter the cave in order to find him another wisely said:

- It can be anywhere but here. With this intact spider web you still think he has entered this cave?

So, they had no alternative but to go on.

Sometimes because we want so much explanation, answers, and so on. to respect what God has to do in our lives, we just disturbing the simplicity of his work in us. No matter how, just let it act on you.

Tribute to Women

"They say that the day 8 / 03 is the day of the woman. They say that the month of March is the month of women. They say that every day is a day for women. After all, they say everything about the woman. Do what, you deserve ... "

Salt Making Evil

"... when you look at my back, you prove that even having left the world, the world has never left you."

According to some historians, one of the big reasons for that Lot's wife looked backwards was caused by an alleged lover left in the city. Now this makes sense because of the cruel reality of the region. Sodom and Gomorrah was regarded as the birthplace of the devil, who dominated the countless sins that location. Prostitution for example, prevailed to the point of treason and adultery being seen as something natural. And even though this is not the real reason we should take into account their economic condition, that is, it was considered a rich woman and owner of many goods, Suddenly seeing all won by a good part of his life turning into ash, did it take this drastic action. Look back!
This proves how Lot's wife was far from God. A woman materialistic and carnal. Wedded to town. Attached to sin. And today is no different. How many are those who, having an experience of faith with the work and even with God, decide to look back and give up. Actually they looked to where they should never have left. This is the attitude of those who feel nostalgia. And when you look at my back, you prove that even having left the world, the world has never left you. Free yourself of the "lover" who takes you to this world, that might not be literally in the flesh, but the ballad, friends, partying, drugs, facilities and so on. This "lover" can not expose you now, but soon enough it will be a great excuse to spiritual death, turning it into a simple rock salt and despised. This statue of salt is still there today. To do what?

The History of the Blacksmith

"My God, do not give up until I can take the form that the Lord expects of me."

There once was a blacksmith who, after a youthful excesses, he decided to deliver his soul to God. For many years he worked hard and practiced charity, but for all his dedication, nothing seemed to go right in your life. Rather, their problems and debts are increasing. One afternoon, a friend who had visited him, and pitied her plight, said: - It's really strange that just after you decided to become a godly man, his life began to deteriorate. I do not want to weaken your faith, but for all his belief in the spiritual world, nothing has improved. The blacksmith did not answer immediately. He had often thought, without understanding what was happening in his life. However, as the friend did not want to leave unanswered, started talking and ended up finding the explanation he sought. Here's what the blacksmith said: - I get the steel in this workshop has not worked and have to turn it in spades. You know how it's done? First I heat the steel sheet in a hellish heat until it turns red. Then, without any mercy, I picked up the hammer and apply heavier blows until the part becomes the desired shape, so it is dipped in a bucket of cold water and the whole workshop is filled with the roar of steam, while the number pops and cries for the sudden change in temperature. I have to repeat this process until the sword is perfect because it just is not enough. The blacksmith gave a long pause, and continued: - Sometimes the steel that comes to my hands can not endure such treatment. Heat, hammered by the cold water to fill it with cracks. And I know that will never grow into a good sword blade. So I throw it on the pile of junk you saw at the entrance to my workshop. Another pause, and the blacksmith concluded: - I know that God is putting me in the fire of afflictions. I have accepted the blows that life gives me, and sometimes I feel so cold and indifferent as the water that is hurting the steel. But the only thing I ask is, "My God, do not give up until I can take the form that the Lord expects of me. Try as you feel better, as long as you want, but never put me on the scrap heap of souls. "

WHO DOES NOT LOVE HURTS, CURE!

"... The problem is that whenever one wants to have more reason than the other. And that's where lies the great danger."

Unfortunately for many couples do not have the wisdom to manage their relationship, eventually moving on to the other side: the side of the offense. Are those "petty bickering" that ordinary every day wearing a romance that will at first was supposed to be a beautiful love story. Everything always for things as mundane as a bad evening clothes, made a bad food, bad played an explanation, a justification without connection, an object that breaks, finally, attitudes that always in the end destroys a walk, a conversation and even a whole day. And this is where those come loaded catchwords like, I regretted having married! you are disturbed (a)! You only talk nonsense! I'm leaving! You never learns! Are you stupid! and so on.
For many this is the adaptation phase. To me it's lack of love! Because as you'll offend the person I love most once, does not offend anyone who loves, supports. Who loves does not hurt, Cure! The problem is that whenever one wants to have more reason than the other. And this is where lies the great danger. Let us learn from the Apostle Paul when he said: ... Love does not seek its own ... (1 Corinthians 13:5). This is Love. You give everything for each other. Just like the other without ulterior motives. That's not how the Lord Jesus did for mankind? Not so the church must be with God?
So Call it (a) to chat and make a vote during this week to love as ever, just praising him (a) with pleasant words and sincere. At the end of the week, analyze the results together and make another wish: to remain so until the end of the month. Then at the beginning of another month, when analyzing the results also make another wish: to remain so until the end of the year and then ...
