I
remember very well… It was on an autumn morning May 2nd 2011,
my preacher had called me for a very nice conversation that touched
deeply in my soul!
I
was in trouble and needed to decide something very urgent. The main
topic of this conversation was: I John must always be in service of
God, and never left him as a second plane in my life… I’ve been
doing that… What a reprimand!
And
I heard from my spiritual guide: “Look John, you can’t frustrate
the plans of God in your life. It would be better if you accept the
plans that God had reserved for you. Use your gifts to serve his
reign and don’t worry about the rest. God will take care of you and
your family. He will provide you and your family. He will provide you
everything because he is the father. Don’t worry! He loves you and
he will honor you, but you need to honor him first.”
And
it wasn’t easy, people! It wasn’t because didn’t happen
immediately. My pride stood out… I believed and doubted… Like
millions and millions of people!
I
was reluctant because the tendency is to think in a logical and
natural way, specially me, with all the experiences that I had gone
through observing people being named without any merit, most times
cheating on others and fooling them as well.
Battles
in our mind need to be won! But we always know what is right and what
is wrong, and while our faith doesn’t overflow the chalice, to
think in a logical way is obvious because we don’t understand the
supernatural side.
While
our faith is small, the concerns with the world frighten us and
terror takes over our mind.
And
there are many bad thoughts affecting people’s mind. Never as
strong as in some others times, and the main reason of this mental
disorder is simply the preoccupation with your own yourself. People
that worry about themselves instead of serving others that suffer
real difficulties in life. This is insane! Completely insane!
Yes,
I consider insane because nobody can put in risk their mental balance
in the struggle for any inimaginable material things.
Review
over and over again the happy faces of the olimpic athlets when they
won or simply participated of the games. It is fantastic to notice
their happy expressions in their faces when it comes to showing and
teaching the others that we always have to be able to face up our
responsability.
The
competition, the war, and the battles against survival needs must to
be according to your quality of life. The book of Eclesiastis written
by the wisest man on Earth shows it in a fantastic way. King Salomon,
the son of King Davi with Bate Seba, was inspired when he wrote the
paragraph of this book. Read it, dear reader, because it is a reading
that relaxes our tired soul!
We
all want to conquest many things, and the pleasure of our world
fascinate our soul and all look forward to success and many people do
more than they should to achieve it.
I
state that this is madness if your day by day battles affect our
physical and mental health, because there is no price to be paid to a
life that is in perfect harmony with everything that surround us.
There
is no special power or position that can approach a life in equal
balance, and in peace with God and everybody around him. Think about
it!
But
think about it seriously and change your habits while you have time.
And time doesn’t stop and doesn’t come back.
Dear
reader, listen me: God is an observer and watch over us all the time.
If you expect something great from God in your life, you have to know
how to act according to your words when you receive something small.
If you don’t take care of the small things that God gives you, you
won’t receive the big things that he reserved for you. Simple as
that according to God!
And
the Holy Spirit is a person that will always serve you, so, if you
need him, just go to him. He is our best friend and love to be in
intimacy with each one of us. Holy Spirit came to help us and He is a
wise counselor.
Be
full of the Holy Spirit, otherwise you will always have bad thoughts
in mind that could destroy you, and never consider yourself as the
best one of the world. If you think like that, God will disapprove
and you will be distant from him.
It
is very important to live under the presence of God, and always
remember: “If you have a hard heart you lose the plans of God.”
So,
be flexible… Always…
The
tongue resists because it is soft and flexible. The teeth fall
because they are hard… Like in our life, my dear reader!
Every
oppressor leader dies early, the psychosomatic diseases knock him
down. Learn with history!
And
be free! Regret from all your mistakes and ask God for forgiveness.
Forgive everything and everybody and let God take care of the
revenge!
The
revenge comes from God , so don’t do what you are not allowed to
do.
Be
humble, be small, empty yourself completely and you will see how far
you can go. Deny to yourself and find your real vocation doing what
you like to do, using the gifts that our Father gave you.
And
find your purposes in life!
When
you find it, the power of God will be revealed because He wants to
use you in a supernatural way. Be ready!
And
pray a lot! Talk to God about everything that bothers you. Convert
yourself… God will honor you, my dear…
