THE SOFT BREEZE


The presence of God according to Bible is compared to a soft breeze. Why? Maybe, because only this presence can give us real peace. Moreover, I think our attemps to rectify our ways and performe good deeds are like storms, like unstable sea waves, without direction, without purpose. We try to make the waters calmer by shaking it, we try to "lift up by pulling our own shoelaces". That's how human beings are. But is there a solution? What shall we do then? Search for a soft breeze. This means you're not going to shake the water anymore, you must recognize you can't do by yourself, it's God's work. It also means you must change the focus, instead of searching the benefits that would come out we must eagerly desire having a deep encounter with God. We don't need the solution of our problems, we need God enthroned in our hearts. In this way we will see that the problems were just the lack of Him, even if apparently the troubles can continue existing, we have now peace on our minds and hearts. All we need is a soft breeze so that the true change may occur. God can turn everything upside down so that we can see it differently. There's nothing compared to feel his strong and relieving presence changing what we are and the way we see things completely. Just a soft breeze.

THE BEAUTY OF LIFE

Photo taken by my friend Jalal, from Iran, Mashhad



Life is : with it's enchantments and troubles, with it's hardles and awards, a bit complex, but a beautiful thing. A scholar said, we tend to associate it with a war. Is life really a war? Maybe, but there are also moments of happiness, if they don't come, we must await anyway , because soon the sun of happiness will shine over our face. It's important to have a positive vision towards life. Try to think about the many beautiful landscapes which you haven't seen yet, the great people you haven't met, the marvelous cultures you don't know about, the knowledge you will be able to get, and life goes, like a river, if there's a rock, it doesn't mean it's bad, but that the river movement will become much more beautiful.

GOING BACK TO GLADNESS

It's something difficult to talk about: gladness. In this life when Muphy's laws sometimes seem so real I think I'm not at all the only one that face barriers to see life in a positive way. However, there are good news for us, there's a way back to gladness. It's kind of difficult because you have to deal with what has been for years in your heart, all the hate and pain and incredulity (cynicism) you accumulated during life. However, you just need to try having a positive action towards the facts of life, you must recognize the good things God has given you, the gift of life, the biggest one, his Son, Jesus, who died for you, the friends he gave you and everything else. Maybe, just like me, you've got to the point of doubting if God really loves you. But he does, and you will perceive it if you ask him to show you his love. You will fill when you meet some people that have been touched by God and that can help you feel his touch too. Many people may have hurt us, but you must be sure, the healing will come from God, it's alway available. Maybe, we are hurt so that we may prove the love of God through his healing hand. So, try to sing a song of gladness, never forget, you're beloved and no person or circunstance can make it different.Beloved by God. Then, as a life of gladness begin, try to love other people, try not to think about merit, nobody deserves, but we can make a difference because Jesus did it first.
My Poem
The true love gets rid of the fear:
So don't be frightened my dear
Just wait til see everything clear
That's what I've learned with my tears

Le vrai amour se défaire de toute la crainte:
Pourtant, ne craints pas, mon cher
C'est seulement espérer jusqu'à voir tout bien clair
C'est ce que j'ai apris avec mes larmes.

El verdadero amor se deshace del miedo,
Así, no recelas amigo
Solamente espera para que sea todo visible
Es todo lo que he aprendido con mi llanto
wo3 shì shéi?我是谁? Quien soy yo? Je suis qui? Quem sou eu?who am I?

We only meet ourselves in the relationships we construe during our lives. The most important, however, is the relationship with God. He's the source of all perfection and love. All we need. He's the Best Friend, the Conselor, The Prince of Peace, The Shelter. I just need his love, I need his love so much that I can let all behind and follow him. I want my cup overwhem because only in this way I can go, I can really be free. I want his love as torrents of water going on my life, purifying, changing, moulding, reviving, making of me his son, his adopted son, my price is the price of blood, God's only child blood, that's why I can't give up. He's love in infinite. His love makes us love people despite of what they are. That's the true love, ágape.
