Words...

Dear brothers, are we hearing each moment to the words of god?…
Are we unified with him?…
Be careful… because this world is full of , many words that want to shut up the word of god… that want to destroy the peace in your life…
Are we ready to accept god by accepting each other?…
Are we ready to refuse all our self interests, our self opinions to hear to god & only god?….
We face in reality many difficulties in this world, but we cannot stop talking about god… we cannot & we must not stop our mission , that consist in making the ones that don’t know or even don’t want to know about God faithful persons… And this is only made by learning them the word of god… but also by learning them how to live the word of god…
Remember, the word of god is like a soft breeze that do not disturb or destroy the life of humans, but give to them a better life via the Holy Spirit…

Many Lessons In One Scene…

As we know, each part of the bible is a big lesson… and while reading it, as each sentence contains many views & scenes, we can somewhat forget or not take into consideration a lesson that we must know!…
That’s why, the daily reading of the bible is so important… even as I said before, reading of the same scene, will let us sometimes feel that we are reading it for the first time! And that is not real, but all what is happening is that sometimes we don’t view a side of the story that we see the next time!…
The gospel of today was on the paralyzed man that was transported by four mans… they took him & tried to enter the house where Jesus was staying talking with the people… And as they couldn’t enter they passed to the roof, they pierce it, and they passed the man down to Jesus… Jesus said then: your sins are forgiven… people said: who is he to forgive our sins?… he knew what they were saying… And he said to the man: get up & take your bed with you…

Look into this very small part… really full of lessons…
First, look into the faith of the paralyzed man…
Second, in the spirit of help in the four persons…
Third, in the crowd surrounding Jesus listening to the word of god…
Fourth, to the faith of the four persons that couldn’t enter, so they passed to the roof & pierce it…
Fifth, in the word of Jesus: Your sins are forgiven…
Sixth, in his word: stand up & take your bed & go…
Seventh, the man went walking & taking his bed with him…

The first lesson to us is to know who is our savior…
Jesus is the only savior…
The second lesson is how to find him…
We must first hear about him… his place is between the people… that are staying to hear & learn his word…
The third lesson is to not be stopped by the people to reach him…
Even if sometimes they don’t get away from our way to Jesus, we must find a way to reach him…
The fourth lesson is that we cannot in many times alone reach him… but we need some brothers that are full of faith & power to help us in reaching him…
The fifth lesson is that only Jesus can forgive our sins…
The sixth lesson is that Jesus know very well ( sure ) that what paralyze us is our sins & only our sins… and forgiving our sins is all what we want to live in happiness… in peace…
The seventh lesson is that Jesus knows all what we think & knows how we think…
The eighth lesson is that he always hear to us even if we don’t talk… he knows that we need our physics to live… that’s why he lets the man walk again…
The ninth lesson is to not be blocked by time or place, because the good things must be done each moment… ( what Jesus did was a Saturday).
The tenth lesson is that god can do everything… and all what he do is for us…for our sake…
So I wish when you read a part of the bible, read it many times… And while reading keep your heart and all your thinking with god…

A Lesson…

As a student in the medical school, I learned from my teachers that if a patient needs me & he can come to me, I must not go for him or visit houses. For them, when there is an emergency, the patient must be taken to the ER & there is nothing that I can do in home.
And as I learned I worked…
One day, somebody calls me to see a patient in his home… he was a cousin to me…
I said, when I finish my work I will pass to see him…
Then a second call & a third call & a fourth one from different ones… pass to see him… pass to see him… And I answered in a cool way as always, I will pass when I finish & if there is something urgent, take him to the ER… & their response was, no there is no emergency…
I passed in the night to see… And I would lie if I say that this person has any disease… I stopped all his medications & went home with anger inside me… why all these calls….
I slept without clearing my anger… & that was a Saturday… & for sure, I took a decision to not visit houses anymore…
On Sunday morning, I woke up to see another person coming to me to pass to a house. Why??… to see a patient there… & for sure my response was: “ I don’t visit houses, or take the patient to me or if he is that sick take him to the ER…”.
And, I went to church, always the anger filling my heart…
There, while praying, I heard a voice…
The voice asked me: do you remember?…
You was at your home & god came to you…
Remember, you wasn’t that sick, so you could came to him…
But…
He came to you…
Are you greater than god??…
And I said, of course not….
Forgive me god…
Please forgive me…
When I finished from the church, I came hurry to home, I took my lamp, my stethoscope & I went to see & treat the person that I was asked to…

I learned that even if I knew all the bible, that’s not complete… I must work it & live it…
I learned that in the place & the situation & the time, I’m alive to serve & not to be served…
I learned that I can help even if I’m feeling I’m not helping…I learned that there is a difference between what people say to us & in what go wants from us…

Duality…

Unfortunately, these words are somewhat hard for many ones… specially that these ones are the brothers in the church…
I’m disturbed to see you brother, living a dual life…
You know very well that it’s not acceptable to live the serenity in church, while living in a bad way out…
You… yes , you the one that must be an example for the others, to attract them to live god… you… live in a bad way…
Brother, the life in church must be the best, but also she must be the best out of it…
The church is you… the church is not rocks & wood…
How could you live in this duality?!!...
You are a one of the ones that god said for them: I live in them, & I write my words on their heart…
God cannot be in you in there, & out of you in another place…
Light is light… so you cannot be a light & darkness in the same time…
So be careful…
Don’t say: I’m with god …
But live god…

Love & Egoism…

Unfortunately, everything in life is based on these two words…
Love & Egoism…
But, what a difference between them?!! What a difference!!
They are as is the light toward the darkness…
Love…
A small word that encircles all the life…
Even, love is the life…
Isn’t because god loves us we are alive?
And, we are alive to love…
And, love is our only right…
Love…
When you are it, you are alive…
When someone share it with you, you become powerful…
But when you have it, you are eternal…
Love is living for the others… working for their good!
Love is a self-neglect…
Love is clear, pure… love don’t think in a bad way… love is not proud…
Love is the modesty…
Love is to give someone all what you have even if you don’t know him…
Love don’t ask something for itself…
Love does not wait the other’s reaction on it…
Love don’t wait someone to say on him he is good… because love is the origin of everything good on this earth…
Love don’t stop for any reason…
Love cannot live or eat on the same table with hate…
There is no someone that can love & hate in the same time… If you love someone & you hate another one, even the one you love, you will hate… with time…

Love has only one enemy…
Self love… egoism…
When your love is directed to serve your opportunities… your self-gain…
When love is used to make you proud of yourself…
When it’s used to make you famous…
When love is full of fear… Fear of what you lose if this unreal love is over…

Sir…
When you love you don’t lie…
When you love you do all what you want…
When you love you are free…
All other “love” are showers of devil…

Sir…
Love is from god… then it’s directed toward all the people of earth, without distinction… without measures…

Sir…
Ask for your right… explore it… use it…
Love…
