Bob Dylan said, "Ya gotta serve somebody." Translation: No one is really free. You have to live for something and whatever is the meaning of your life is the Lord of your Life.
Acho que, mesmo sendo humano, consigo amar os que estão abaixo de mim, os desamparados, os pobres. Contudo, amar os que me oprimem, lideram sem equidade ou praticam injustiça, está além da minha capacidade. Afinal, isto é divino. Só se Jesus operar em mim.
1 Corinthians 13 was not written with a wedding ceremony in mind. It’s not meant to give us warm, fuzzy feelings.

"A certeza da vinda de Jesus não deve ser diluída na rotina diária. Nosso dia a dia é que deve transcorrer em função desse acontecimento. Ideais, projetos e sonhos devem ser alimentados, elaborados e executados tendo no segundo advento o ponto de referência" MD 2020

T Rev 15:3-- The solution to the crisis in the universe is not the exercise of greater power, but the exercise of a different kind of power, the power of self-sacrificing non-violence. God’s leadership is proven different in kind than human beings expected.
Uma das piores coisas podemos fazer é mantermos uma aparência de piedade enquanto praticamos a injustiça. Ao mesmo tempo, o Senhor promete guiar e abençoar todos os que trabalham para diminuir o sofrimento, enfrentar a desigualdade e promover a justiça. #Is58
