Quand J'ai désisté

Il n'y a point de secret non plus: La principal leçon que la vie peut nous donner c'est apprendre à perdre. Il faut reconnâitre notre faiblesse et reconnaître que nous ne pouvons pas réussi tous ceux que nous voulons. Nous sommes limités et c'est merveilleux quand nous comprendre c'est réalité. Reconnâitre qui nous sommes c'est un bon debut de se tourner vraiment humain. La patience est simplement essenciel à la vie. Si nous devons attendre quelque chose jusqu'à la mort, que pouvons nous faire cela! Car le vie est courte et nos rêves et nos espoirs doivent être bien guardés. Nous ne devons pas espérer quelque chose d'espécial dans cette monde. Si il y a de bonheurs qu'ils peuvent venir d'une façon simple, que nous ne pourrions pas savoir, que l'allegresse peut nous surprendre comme un voleur, comme la pluit d'été, comme une fête surprise d'anniversaire, que nous pourrions avoir le meilheur de cette monde sans oublier ce que nous devons retenir pour la lointaine terre qui nous a été reservé.

When I surrender

There's no secret anymore: The main lesson that life give us is to learn to lose. We must recognize our weaknesses and recognize that we cannot get everything we want. We are limited persons and it's wonderful when we can understand that reality. Acknowledge who we really are is a real good beginning to become actually human. The patience is just essencial to life. If we must wait something until death, that we may do so! Because life passes swiftly and our dreams and hopes must be well kept. We are not supposed to expect anything special from this world. If there is hapinesses, may they come in a simple way, in such a way we cannot know, that joy may surprise us as a thief, as the rain of summer, as a party of birthday, that we may have the best of this world without forget what we must retain to the far land that is waiting for us.

IS THERE A WAY TO DEFINE MYSELF? THINK ABOUT YOU...

我是谁呀? 还是一个难的问题.我
who am I? That's a difficult question.
Je suis qui? C'est un difficile question.
Quién soy? Es una questión muy dificil.
Quem soy eu? essa é uma questão muito difícil.

I believe deeply that what is important is not what we've got in this life, but what we do to that. Our decisions can open doors for great dreams we may have or destroy all hope, we just need to choose the first. Just try to live a peaceful life. Deeply. NOTHING ELSE CAN SAY WHAT I AM BESIDES MY OWN ACTIONS AND CHOICES. AND BEYOND IT, JUST MY FAITH AND BELIEFS, MY INTERNAL HUMAN BEEN, MY DEEPEST "I".

Meaningless and Uncertainty of Life

The Life looks like a spider web. Everything connected and seems that there's an end when, in fact, it's just ilusion. Our vision get stuck in the multitude of links. The ways are presented to us in life are just as it, we have many options, but they're deeply very similar, insecure, unstable, puzzling. There is only one stable way. We can see it in a prismatic way, but it's just one road. In this road we can see clearly how the other ways are fake, how they go by since are nothing more than moments, poor experiences of pleasure, attempts to be someone or having someone. In this way we can find what we are, the pleasure we that maintain us fighting and the meeting of all needs. Yeah, the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want, said the Psalmist. Life shows it's ways as a maze. The many ways are possible, but only one can take you to the right direction, if you go so much astray you can lost yourself completely, if you consider your ways and watch over your steps you will be wise and will inherit a good end, the final target. In life things that seem so real today, tomorrow will be just ashes or troubles, the other way that looked like difficult can be so interesting as the years pass. The instability of life can make us disbelief things, people, everything. But there's a rock when we can put our trust so that we can make our ways straight and be caught up when we fall. Therefore, our mission is to struggle for living a deep life, not to go with the group, not to follow what our sight says or what our hearts call as good, but to understand how deep down the wisdom is. Digging the hole for a great building, a marvelous future.

"Never forget the three powerful resources you always have:

Love
prayer
and forgiveness

What to do when prayer doesn't work?
Once Jesus said "why you say 'Lord', 'Lord' and doesn't do what I ask you for? That's a real huge problem related to our postmodern (or whatever other term to define this indefinition) times. People want spirituality, people simply found out that reason was not enough to fill in their lack of meaning. That happened just after the Second World War, an era that looked like a terrible marenight. However, that religious sense the most of the time is not connected to a sense obedience that it must have. Sometimes an utilitarian faith, sometimes a weak faith that only knows about empty practices or discourses or even prayers. The problem is that we cannot have the gift without the giver, it would be in vain. The issue is that we must be ready to change our way for a real repentence. You don't need to lament your sins all the time, but just feel it to the point you can realize how it's important to change. We must understand that our religious practice are useless if we are not ready to "deny ourselves everyday and take up our cross until the end". Otherwise our deeds are going to be in vain. A devoted heart is want God really wants. Nothing more, nothing less, He just wants us in his altar. Then, the peace will overwhelm our hearts and all we do will succeed, just as told in Salm 23. Just like the ants obey their masters without order and silently, we will serve God with a willing and glad heart. Thus, He will be our strength... and there's nothing better than count on 'The Lord of the Armies'.

GO BACK HOME!

GO BACK HOME, it was the title of a letter I received from a magazine publishing house. Not a big deal, if I would not consider it also a message from God. Ok, I can be crazy for many people (including christians) to believe God talk to us by many ways during our lives, it's only necessary to open our hearts. The fact is that I needed to go back to Him, to give Him my burdens of sin, worries and weaknesses. I needed more than anything else in life God's healing presence. So, I went in search of Him, he's always prepared to receive us. Some people simply believe that weak people need the idea of God to deal with their existence crisis. In fact, it's true. Weak people need God because they don't have other means to survive unless by his presence. Other people can live well without the idea of God as far as they believe in themselves. But there are some who are "poor spirited" and need His presence. However, this apparently weakness can be so improving since we can have somebody so real in our daily life. Someone that can show us the way back home, the right path to walk, in whom we can rest and wait. Our weakness becomes strength since we can count on Him as our strong rock, something really solid when all the world seems slippery. What to do then? Go back to God Father's arms. It's impossible to live whithout Him after realizing who He is. He becomes the source of happiness of our lives. A healthy fountain where we can always drink. In this way you become strong, because you are not anymore subdued by the passions in the world that can be horribly decaying. You can find your way back to life, back to God, back to whom you really are.

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.
