God forgot you ???

* Luís Alberto Alves

In the gale that often strikes the Christian, there is the impression that Jesus Christ left us alone in the boat of life and we will face the enemy with no weapon in our hands. At the time of crisis, we focus on the problem instead of looking at God.

That's the rule. No matter the intensity of the test, we think only of how to get out of that terrible storm. Sometimes we fail to go to church, to pray constantly, to read the Bible, and even to sing songs of worship to the Lord.

It is not easy to feel the heat and cold of the desert. Only those who have been there understand perfectly what I am describing. The feeling is awful. We feel the worst of the worst. It seems that we are scum, because the friends disappear and even the relatives.

That's when the huge pineapple is in your hands and with a blind knife, you'll try to peel it. Nothing helps in this hour. If you are washing dishes in the kitchen, the glass dish will slip from your hands and it will crash on the floor, so will that crystal glass, a wedding gift.
