Omul se naste ca sa sufere, dupa cum scanteia se naste ca sa moara. Iov 5:7

Multi au impresia ca a fi copilul lui Dumnezeu inseamna sa fii prosper, sa ai tot ceea ce iti doresti...

Ei bine, prosperitatea este un privilegiu, nu un drept... si asta nu e ideea mea, am auzit-o si eu de la altii, dar mi se pare o atitudine mult mai corecta decat cea pe care am pomenit-o in prima propozitie.

Mai sunt altii, mai putini ce-i drept, care au impresia ca a fi copil al lui Dumnezeu inseamna sa fii tot morocanos, posomorat si in suferinta...

Ca de-obicei... adevarul este undeva la mijloc ...

Suferinta este ingaduita si niciodata nu vei fi scutit de ea ci vei fi sustinut prin ea ... Binecuvantarea vine asupra ta pentru a fi impartasita cu altii...

Exista momente in viata noastra cand realizam ca nu avem, nu suntem nimic din ceea ce ne-am imaginat ca vom fi sau avea la acel moment.

Poate te imaginai cu un loc de munca perfect, un sot/sotie perfect/a ... poate ½ copii si catelul care se joaca pe langa masina parcata in garajul de langa piscina din curtea casei extrem de frumoase pe care  ti-ai construit-o cu banii de la jobul de vis pe care-l ai...

Da, stiu exagerare de dragul argumentarii unei opinii...

Exista multe lucruri pe care nu le-avem si nu le vom avea vreodata.

La unele vise ne e mai usor sa renuntam decat la altele ... Important e sa nu uitam ca in fiecare situatie prin care trecem sau am trecut am fost sau suntem ocrotiti de Dumnezeu.

Tot ceea ce trebuie sa facem noi e sa luam viata asa cum vine ea, sa respiram adanc, si sa simtim pacea si speranta care ne inconjoara, chiar daca visele se schimba/naruie/implinesc.

Melodia zilei:

Kerrie Roberts - Keep Breathing

You wait in darkness
For answers that you can't see
You know what you deserve and
You’re wondering why your life is
Not what you thought it should be
When the night breaks, your heart still aches
How can you face the day, you just

Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter, a little longer
When you feel like you’re dying
Keep breathing

Don't give up
Don't give in
Don’t let go
No you're not done yet
Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't let go

When every moment
Is almost more than you can take
You've got to know some tomorrow
Will bring you a breakthrough
That’s the reason why
You’ve got to get through today
When the night's gone, you will be strong

Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter, a little longer

With every breath you bring hope
You're letting go of all your doubt
When nothing is easy, you’ve got to keep going
Even when you don't know how
You don't have to know how, no

Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter, a little longer

Keep breathing, you'll make it
Don't give in, you're not done yet
Sometimes all that you can do is
Keep breathing and believing
Don't let go, just hang on tighter, a little longer

Keep breathing
Don't give up
No you're not done yet
Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't let go
No you're not done yet

Misterul Jertfei lui Isus poate fi inteles de cei cu inima deschisa...

 In ultimul timp...mai bine zis, de foarte mult timp, am impresia ca sacrificiul e ceva ce se practica foarte putin.
E ciudat cum practicam sacrificiul doar atunci cand in cele din urma iesim cumva in castig...

Jertfa lui Isus pare un mister pentru ochiul neantrenat... Cum a putut cineva, oricine, sa-si sacrifice viata nu doar pentru generatia actuala de oameni ci si pentru cele viitoare?

E un mister acela ca Isus a ales moartea pentru a ne da noua viata vesnica...
E un mister acela ca suferinta a adus vindecare, si infrangerea a fost de fapt o victorie...

Pe langa atatea mistere mai exista si ceva ”ciudat”... Persoanele care au experimentat prezenta Domnului, unele chiar pana in ultimul moment, habar nu au avut exact cu cine stau de vorba, sau cu cine stau la masa, sau cu cine au mers pe drum...

Israelitii asteptau noi vremuri de glorie – Isus a venit pentru a ne deschide calea spre Imparatia Cerurilor.
Israelitii asteptau un campion pamantesc, eliberarea pentru cativa ani din robia in care erau – Isus a fost campionul Ceresc, a invins moartea, pentru a aduce eliberarea de pacate si viata vesnica pentru oricine crede in Jertfa Lui.

O parte din poporul Israel inca il asteapta pe Mesia – Noi stim mai bine... Intrebarea este: Ce facem noi cu informatia pe care o avem? Ce atitudini avem fata de Isus si jertfa Lui? Practicam sacrificiul, sau preferam un egoism comod?

Fie ca intelepciunea de Sus sa ne lumineze mintile si sa avem inimi deschise pentru a intelege pe deplin Misterul Jertfei!

Melodia zilei:

Kerrie Roberts - Beautiful To Me

So much I don't understand
That I'd change if I wrote the story
How pain can heal and death bring life
How defeat can bring such glory
You didn't hold back one breath
You even gave Your last one
So I'd live

It's beautiful to me
Your holy mystery
I'm standing here in awe
Of how you make everything
So beautiful to me
Someday I will see
How You hold this wounded heart
And make it perfect and complete
And it's beautiful to me
Beautiful

I don't deserve Your suffering
I should be the one who's bleeding
But Your broken body gives
This broken spirit what it's needing
You reach through time with Your sacrifice
With wounded hands
Holding this fragile life

It's beautiful to me
Your holy mystery
I'm standing here in awe
Of how you make everything
So beautiful to me
Someday I will see
How You hold this wounded heart
And make it perfect and complete
And it's beautiful to me
Beautiful to me

This seek, this longing
This heart that I've been searching
This moment while I'm breaking
You're here
Your plan, Your promise
A pain that has a purpose
I let you in to use it

And just why Your hands built heaven's arms
You're making me so beautiful

It's beautiful to me
Every mystery
I'm standing here in awe
Of how You make everything
So beautiful to me
So perfect and complete
You warm this wounded heart
Someday I will see
It's beautiful to me
It's beautiful to me
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful to me
Beautiful to me

Prezent, trecut, viitor, orice ar fi si orice ar veni... Dumnezeu stie si este prezent acolo unde este dorit!

Sunt momente cand ne simtim descurajati, cand nu mai putem continua... Atunci Dumnezeu este mai aproape ca niciodata.

Trebuie doar sa ne intoarcem spre El, cu incredere, cu speranta.

Orice ar fi, orice ar veni, totul este de la El, sau trece prin mana Lui, inainte de a ajunge la noi. El este prezentul nostru, este speranta care lumineaza viitorului nostru, prin Jertfa Fiului Sau trecutul nostru este iertat, si noi nu mai trebuie sa ne ingrijoram de ceea ce a fost.

Poate este greu sa ne incredem complet si deplin in Dumnezeu.

Dar cred ca toti am avut cel putin o experienta in care ni s-a aratat puterea extraordinara a Dumnezeului nostru. Promisiunile Lui intotdeauna se implinesc, si ceea ce este si mai frumos, e ca Dumnezeu ne asculta prin minuni, poate nu minuni evidente, dar si faptul ca avem parte de o noua zi, este o minune extraordinara. Iar noi trebuie sa nu uitam lucrul acesta, chiar daca aceasta zi, vine si cu dureri nu doar cu bucurii, orice ar fi trebuie sa-L iubim... Pentru ca El ne-a iubit intai!

Melodia zilei:

Kerrie Roberts - No Matter What
   
  Asculta  mai multe  audio   pop

I’m running back to Your promises one more time
Lord that’s all I can hold on to
I gotta say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises You
Before a heartache can ever touch my life
It has to go through Your hands
And even though I keep asking why, I keep asking why

No matter what, I’m gonna love You
No matter what I’m gonna need You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I’ll trust You no matter what, no matter what

When I’m stuck in this nothingness by myself
I’m just sitting in silence
There’s no way I can make it without Your help, I won’t even try it
I know You have Your reasons for everything so I will keep believing
Whatever I might be feeling, God You are my hope
And You will be my strength

Anything I don’t have You can give it to me, but it’s OK if You don’t
I’m not here for those things
The touch of Your love is enough on its own
No matter what I still love You and I’m gonna need You

No matter what I’m gonna love You, no matter what I’m gonna need You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I’ll trust You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, but if not, I’ll trust You

No matter what
No matter no matter what
No matter no matter what
No matter no matter what
