Don't forget: your life is most important

I watched this video in this morning, and it's very important for conscientization.



What do you prefer: some moments of pleasure or to live for be happy?

God's love in your life is too much precious, don't forget your life is the most important.

Oh! My God...

Many people say "Oh! My God..." or "Jesus Christ!!" in stressed situations.

But, who's your God? Who's Jesus Christ?

We know God created everything (Genesis 1, 1-25), and He created the man too (Genesis 1, 26-31).

Now, if God created everything and God is good, why aren't we happy?

God made us free, but many times we don't use well our freedom.

In this point is Jesus Christ, He's God that recreates the world and the humanity.

God created everything in the beginning, and the same God recreates everything and everyone right now.

But God made us free, then each one of us should choose to be or not to be recreated in Jesus Christ.

If you call for Jesus in your problems, you should live as He teaches.

For example, if you watch movies or programs that deny Jesus, like about astrology, spiritualism, reincarnation, satanism, Oriental sects or religions (Yoga, Hinduism, Seisho-No-Ie, and others), pornography, eroticism, adultery, violence, and so many others.

However, look: if you're not Christan, you can do what your faith allows. And for the Christians, think is it according with my faith? Remember, everyone will be judged.

Take it (I Corinthians 1, 9):
"You can rely on God, who has called you to be partners with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

Freedom of be free

Our world has too many people, and God loves particularly each one.

In God's love, we have total freedom, we can do anything, and He gave us total knowledge about our acts.

Our freedom lets mutual respect, or not: we chose, because we're free.

Now, thing about your freedom. Are you really free? Freedom implies in happiness. Are you really happy?

Happiness implies in real love. Let's read what St. Paul says about love in I Corinthians 13, 1-8:

"Though I command languages both human and angelic
-- if I speak without love,
I am no more than a gong booming
or a cymbal clashing.
And though I have the power of prophecy,
to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge,
and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains
-- if I am without love,
I am nothing.
Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess,
and even give up my body to be burned
-- if I am without love,
it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind;
love is never jealous;
love is not boastful or conceited,
it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage,
it does not take offence or store up grievances.
Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but finds its joy in the truth.
It is always ready to make allowances,
to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end.
But if there are prophecies,
they will be done away with;
if tongues, they will fall silent;
and if knowledge, it will be done away with."

Thing how St. Paul loved the people, following Jesus' example. If you don't know St. Paul's history, you can read here and here.

The Bible's book Acts of Apostles relates many things about St. Paul and his friends.

Living better each day

I bought a book about the most intelligent saints of the Catholic Church, like St. Augustine, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and some others. This book, written in Brazilian Portuguese, presents the thoughts of them.

The first thought is a St. Augustine's one:

In essentials, unity; freedom in doubt, in all things charity

1 Corinthians 13, 1 - 8:

"Though I command languages both human and angelic
-- if I speak without love,
I am no more than a gong booming
or a cymbal clashing.
And though I have the power of prophecy,
to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge,
and though I have all the faith
necessary to move mountains
-- if I am without love, I am nothing.
Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess,
and even give up my body to be burned
-- if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind;
love is never jealous;
love is not boastful or conceited,
it is never rude
and never seeks its own advantage,
it does not take offence or store up grievances.
Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but finds its joy in the truth.
It is always ready to make allowances,
to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end.
But if there are prophecies,
they will be done away with;
if tongues, they will fall silent;
and if knowledge, it will be done away with."

Love is the seed for unity, freedom and charity, without love nothing makes sense.

Unity, freedom and charity are desires and gifts of God, the unity of the Holy Spirit, the freedom achieved by Jesus in the cross, and the charity, as we read in Ecclesiasticus 40, 17:

"Charity is a very paradise of blessing and alms giving endures for ever."

About love, it's not a felling, but it's a decision. What you do must be according to God's love for you.

Modesty and romance (legendas em português)

I found the following video and thought it's a great opportunity for sharing my opinion about loving relationships.



I have my girlfriend and fight everyday for win her heart, it makes me very happy because I know my girlfriend's value.

New eyes in the New Year

One year more, what did I do? Or better, what do I intend to do?

The past is over, the future doesn't exist, and we have just this moment, called present, between the past and the future.

Pray before to do, think after to do. God wants everyone in the Heaven, but He doesn't force anyone. He calls you, and you need to accept the invitation and have a life according to God's recommendations. I Corinthians 10, 31:

"Whatever you eat, then,
or drink, and whatever else you do,
do it all for the glory of God."

Use the past to make better your future in this moment.

I'm praying for you. Pray for me too.

This is my way

I Corinthians 1, 22-24:

"While the Jews demand miracles
and the Greeks look for wisdom,
we are preaching a crucified Christ:
to the Jews an obstacle
they cannot get over,
to the gentiles foolishness,
but to those who have been called,
whether they are Jews or Greeks,
a Christ who is both
the power of God and the wisdom of God."

What was I looking for? The miracles happen when God wants to do them, if my happiness and my faith are in miracles, they aren't permanent.

But, if I believe in the God's love and in a crucified Christ, dead in my place, my faith and my happiness are forever. Matthew 28, 18-20:

"Jesus came up and spoke to them.
He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations;
baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you.
And look, I am with you always;
yes, to the end of time.'"
