Roller Coaster

Similarly, our life with God is like a roller coaster ride. However, for us it is often easier to ride a carousel because we feel more stability and we have everything in our control in a peaceful walk but not so much fun!


We are children of a powerful and creative God who does new things all the time. This sometimes makes us think that He is God a "super busy" all the time, but in fact he also teaches us with boredom. At one point, the roller coaster seems a bit dull and "adrenaline" but suddenly something happens that we do not expect. Sometimes we can scare us or just have fun. This "instability" brings us right now is fear and that God teaches us to trust more in His sovereignty. Thus, our constraints do not allow us to see that because we are created in the image and likeness of the Father, we test all the time so that we have shaped our character. Perhaps our greatest difficulty is to deliver everything we have and what are the Lord. This requires self-denial and self-denial always hurts. I do not know what part of the roller coaster is your life. Maybe she's on the dull that no adrenaline or "nothing new" happens. Or maybe it is down the highest peak and you do not know if it will hold because so many mixed emotions. But despite all this confusion, I can testify that the loving God I know is on your side rooting for you to grow with difficulties, with the scares, with the monotony, and a mixture of emotions. Let Him be your seat belt.

With all my love, Chris.

Touching Heaven, Change the World

Change requires effort. And courage. We are in a society that requires change, but is accommodated. Requires peace, comfort, happiness, security, but does nothing to make it reality for all people who are part of your world. Often we want to change the world but do nothing to change our personal world. So the concept of change becomes a utopian end, far from reality and intangible.

There was one, however, that was a true revolutionary who changed the world of people, encouraging them and showing them the truth. Jesus was the greatest change agent of all time. Its influence on people had nothing to do with intellectuals, political or economic influence. But I was completely linked to private and very intimate relationship with His Father, He touched the sky with their worship and the service it provided to its people. In Jesus performed many miracles such as multiplying the loaves and fishes, He physically before feeding the hungry, fed them first epiritualmente. That it is clearly a man who cared about the depth and not with s superficiality. That took care of people in all areas of their lives.

We as children of God and joint heirs with Christ, we need to touch the sky to change the world. The changes will not happen just by the strength of our arms. But just as Jesus said, the works that will hold florificarão the Father in heaven. The works themselves do not supply all needs. But when together to love and justice take the gospel to people, they will forever miss them and no supplies. In Jesus name, I encourage you to make a decision to be a change agent, to be influential in their world. Decide to be a reference, not for you to be glorified, but that Our God is seen through you. You may not have a clue how to do this. But I know He wants you to touch the sky and change the world through the love of Jesus. Not through our love, because it is flawed, limited and finite. But when we see through Jesus, He uses us to be his witnesses here and change this world. Whatever your world, you can change it.

Love Poem

Oh, dear Jesus

As my heart I want to
I feel that even the most beautiful words can express my joy when I think of Your greatness
Nothing compares to you
Neither the swallows in the sky or the fish of the sea
Not even the highest hills, nor the deepest valleys
Absolutely nothing to express the greatness of Thy sovereignty.


No poetry or song
No sound or melody
Nothing compares to your beauty
Hill in love with you and my heart wants to meet him more
My voice shakes when I think of your name!


Jesus: Name the most exciting there!
You are the heroes of heroes
The poet of all poets
who sang and told life
through a sacrificial love for his people


You've changed the course of history
Gave me the opportunity to be a hero humble and fair
as Thou Art
You stole the scene of the drama of life
When you give up your life and your heart to all mankind


Not the prettiest of romance shakespeare is so worthy of applause as Your story, my Lord.
As a Romeo gave his life for his Juliet, You gave Your life to all mankind.
You thought of us all and this one lesson of love for all who claim to know what love is.


You really taught how to love poets


And thou wast the precursor of true love.
What all the poets fall down before Him
For You do not know what love is!
That all creation was humble in His presence
Not the most beautiful spectacle of nature can blur the
beauty of the creator of the universe.


Why not fall in love with you, my dear Lord?
Why not just say that you are the most beautiful song I can sing?
What Are the purest air that I breathe?
What You're the purest feeling I can feel?

Before your greatness, is too small what I feel for Thee.
But I thank you for accepting love someone so flawed and double minded wretch like me.


Chris.

Christmas: Choose.

When we think of Christmas, remember the first word that perhaps the redemption, because through the birth of Jesus we have access to our Father as true sons. But this Christmas, in particular, what struck me was the word choice. The Bible says that the cross was already known before the foundation of the world. Thus, The Lord knew that his son would be killed for the redemption of mankind. Father risked for us. He gave us full freedom to make choices. And gave us the freedom to make the best choice: to be by his side, and being treated like children.


The choice came before the redemption. Because in truth, the Lord has chosen to love us. The Lord has chosen, instead of treating us like babies or robots, as He chose us to be: Free! He chose to give us eternal life but just want to give it to children who CHOOSE TO BE WITH HIM. Jesus chose to obey the father. Chose to die. He chose to save humanity. And the most important lesson that needs noting is that in the Lord, despite His power and authority, the right to be free to CHOOSE. He chose us. But we also need to choose our Father is a relationship where we always give less because of our failures, but the relationship needs to be truthful with us and dad.

The choice we made that day when the Lord decided it would be the center of our life to make sense until the end of our journey. My sincere prayer is that we see the father as a loving father and thirsty for giving us the best and do the best for us. Our choice to be with Him is the best choice. And finally we shall see Him as "Prepare the way of the Lord," Isaiah said ... That is what we do. But to see him the choice must be made. And we've done ours.

Transplante now!

It's amazing how many things they have memorized over the life! Our brain keeps things we do not even know that there is stored. The Father created us just to perfection and excellence! Glory to God for He has been endowed with intelligence and have distributed so many talents that are developed with our mind.

But we have used this capability very badly, unfortunately. We guarded events, words, people who have wronged us. Like the attic debris guard, we saved a little love and mercy, and much hatred and unforgiveness. Instead of letting ourselves be used by God, we have ceased to be used by the wounds of life, contempt, pain and indifference. And instead of fighting it, we have saved and buried alive within us all. Instead of a heart, we have an attic that holds rubbish, things that are often forgotten but alive inside the house that can be used again at any moment, according to the need of the house.


God wants to take away our hearts of stone and give a heart of flesh, as it did with the disciple Peter. Peter was rude, unfriendly and no manners with people. He was known for being rude and violent. But he decided to replace the old attic by a heart of flesh that feels, who loves, lives and serve God and people. And so, he lived according to the will of the Father, in faith and love. He lived to serve the people of God. He lived to preach the gospel, because his heart was inflamed by the truths of the gospel. But this only happened when he decided to surrender your attic to the God who takes care of hearts destroyed and full of bad things. We all go through that and this is perhaps our biggest struggle: to forgive and forget. But we must be the church that we are called to be: pure and immaculate. And our God will be with us and transform us from glory to glory, in His perfect time, that He may be glorified through us and through us.

My prayer today is that God will change your feelings making you sensitive to him, his people and the lost. May you have a new heart and begin to feel as he feels, walk as He walks, talking as he speaks, think as He thinks ... That is our desire to be like the Lord, who despite not being human, has a heart of flesh, a heart that feels deeply our pains and loves us so overwhelming. So he gets the transplant now!

May God bless you this day.
