Quem paga o prejuizo da perda

“O céu pagará qualquer prejuízo que possamos sofrer para ganhá-lo; mas nada pode pagar o prejuízo de perdê-lo.”

Hillsong – United (Live) Look To You

Worship with Don Moen

Lord, we are your children and we’ve gather here to pray!

“I have two hands, one heart, one live to offer You”

Two Hands, One Heart by Don Moen

What can I give
What can I bring
That would be pleasing to my King
I’ll give my heart not just a part
I’m lifting up everything
Well it’s all I have to offer
And it’s all I have to give

Two hands one heart
One life to offer You
Two hands one heart
That’s what I give to You

Use me today I know You can
Lord I surrender to You plan
You made this heart
You made these hands
Take me and use me as I am
Well it’s all I have to offer
And it’s all I have to give

Little becomes a lot
When it’s in Your hands
Take me and make me more like You
Well it may not seem like much
But with the Master’s touch
I know that I’ll be more like You

That’s what I give to You

Count the stars if you are able to

The Hubble telescope has taken this picture from a group of stars close to the Milky Way [Via Lactea]. Those are not all the stars of the Universe. This is only a small portion, a sand grain in a huge ocean.

Take a look, try to count how may are there, then think about the text below.

Hubble picture - Messier 5 (*)

“Then behold, the word of the Lord, came to him, saying, ‘This man will not be your heir; but one who shall come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.’ And He took him outside and said. ‘Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’ And He said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be’.

Then he believed in the Lord; and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

And he said to him, ‘I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it.’ ”

Genesis 15:4-7

Weekly Parasha

I’ve received un e-mail (see some of it below) from a businessman friend of mine, with some instructions that bring comfort on “scary” situations, that type we never pass through doing business, right? :))

Here it is part of the “tip”, you can see all of it on the website Weekly Parasha.

“In our live it will always have situations where we will get scary.

To be able to pass through these situations without bigger problems, we need a special training, in the midst of the mass we need to find a direction, a sign: our Lord Jesus so that, being Him in our side, we avoid greater discomforts.

In order to make this training effective, it has to be permanent, so that we get used to do look for Him all the time, to have Him close to us.

With this training, sure you will always have…

A Shabbat in Shalom”

King in war

“Some boast in chariots and some in horses,
But we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.
They have bowed ddown and fallen,
But we have risen and stood upright.”
