Interesting conversation of a man with God

* Luís Alberto Alves

😒Homem:
God, can I ask you a question?
😊Deus:
Of course
😒Homem:
Promise me you will not be mad at me?
😃Deus:
Promise!
😰Homem:
Why did you make so much happen to me today?
😳Deus:
As well?
😣Homem:
Well, I woke up late today,

😀Deus:
Yes...

😱Homem:
My car took forever to call
😄Deus:
OK...
😠Homem:
At lunch time I ordered a snack, it went wrong and I had to wait for another one for a long time
😊Deus:
Oh ...
😫Homem:
On the way back home I was going to answer a call and my cell phone died!
😕Deus:
Right...
😤Homem:
It was not enough that all this happened to me, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my massage basin and relax !!
But this has not happened !!
In fact NOTHING worked for me today !!!
Why did you do that?????

☺Deus:
Okay, I'll tell you ... You know, son this morning the angel of death was circling your bed, but I sent one of my angels to fight him for his life!
I just let you sleep while all this happened ...
😳Homem:
OH !!!

😯Deus:
I did not let your car turn on quickly this morning because there was a drunk driver on the route that you commute daily to work and he would hit your car.
😦Homem:
"no reaction"
😄Deus:
At lunchtime, the first person who made your sandwich was sick and I did not want you to become infected with any virus.
Even more knowing that you can not afford to miss work.

😐Homem:
"embarrassed"
😀Deus:
Your cell phone died because the person who called you was going to say false things about you about what you were going to tell her on that call.
So I did not even let you take it.
😯Homem:
Ooh ... I can understand, Lord ...
😄Deus:
Oh and your massage basin is having a problem that if it turned on it would cause a short circuit in the power of your home tonight.
I thought you would not want to stay in the dark.

😞Homem:
Ooh I'm sorry, sir ...
😃Deus:
No need to apologize son, just learn to trust me in all good and bad situations.
And do not doubt that my plans are always better than yours.
😢Homem:
I promise I will not forget that. Thank you for all that the Lord has done for me today.
😘God: You're welcome, son. This was just another day that I proved to you that I am your God who loves to take care of you.
Think about it ...
When a door closes, God opens 2 doors: If God has opened doors for you, send this message to everyone you can.

Stand firm in God

* Luís Alberto Alves

If one day you realize that the only thing you have is God, you will find that He was the only thing you needed to have in your life.
Do not chase after things that will not fill you up, get your fill of God and everything else will work out fine.

Pastor does not work

* Luís Alberto Alves

If a teacher studies, prepares, and gives a 45-minute class, he is working.
If a Pastor studies, prepares, and preaches a 45-minute message, HE DOES NOT WORK.

If a Psychologist answers and counsels people, he is working.
If a Pastor attends and counsels people, HE DOES NOT WORK.

If an Administrator organizes, reforms, hires, and manages a company, he is worked ...
If a Pastor organizes, reforms, hires, and manages a church, HE DOES NOT WORK.

If an accountant does the calculations, saves, balances finances and makes investments, he is working ...
If a Pastor calculates, saves, balances finances and makes investments in the church, HE DOES NOT WORK.

If any of these take a vacation, it's fair, after all, they work ...
Already a pastor can not take vacations, should not receive salary, and does not deserve respect ...
After all, IT DOES NOT WORK.

Many act like Marta-3

To get an idea of ​​this, it was only in 1546, that is, that the 66 books of the Bible were gathered together in one publication! There must have been many people with the dedication of Mary, concerned with the spiritual, for the Words of life of the Gospel to come true. For this, some of them lost their lives. For example, the disciple of John, the pastor of the church of Smyrna, Polycarp, who after 86 years of fidelity to the Lord in 325 AD was sacrificed at a stake by the Roman authorities.

What about the Egyptian king Ptolemy II, who hired 72 Jewish scholars to translate the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek, which became the Septuagint Bible? All this in 281 B.C., and did not please all. But he did his part. How many people today care deeply about the spiritual? The business is to invest in the material, that which is visible before our eyes, which can bring me some profit.

Even the accumulated knowledge in college or work-life banks is little used in Christian churches. How many siblings do not face legal problems and need support from lawyers, but they are still watching ships. How many dentists could not guide the brethren in Christ about the care needed to maintain oral health or even make a small dent in their teeth? How many doctors could give lectures on the importance of healthy eating? The list is long.

In this case, what prevails is the material. The spiritual does not deserve attention, because it is not palpable. Something impossible to visualize. Thus, Jesus loses importance in the lives of many servants. It is remembered in the hour of difficulty, the narrow path, when the spiritual gains importance. But past the danger, unfortunately everything returns to normal. We need to act like Mary, to stay together with Jesus and less Marta, who only imagines putting the material first. We forget that the spiritual world exists first than material. And God is Spirit and we need to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Many act equal to Marta-2

Christian is a police officer, journalist or doctor: he can always be asked for in an event of violence, someone who has gone bad in the plane or even in the store or in transit, or something unusual that will become a great story. How often, during a trip, in hotels or luxury inns is the sadness visible on the faces of some people. They are in that place to try to ward off the evil that tortures them.

But, like Martha, we leave the singing spiritual. The business is to forget the "mantle". Think of Jesus Christ only within the church during worship. Out of there, is to leave this task to the shepherds and other servants of God. We often use the excuse that our training is short! Imagine the driver acting that way after taking out his driver's license? You will never have the courage to face the traffic madness!

It seems that the closeness of Jesus causes us fear. Some even think that they will never be able to solve a problem, such as advising someone facing an internal war and thinking about taking their own lives. Imagine if the apostles of Christ had been locked indoors in Jerusalem, denied the call to preach the Gospel in that ancient world? We certainly would not be talking about Jesus nor would you read this text.

But they left the fear aside and set out on a mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus to all. The most curious thing about this story is that no apostle was concerned to write his experiences. Just to preach the Word. So much so that it took many years for the New Testament to be complete. Until 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ, only the Old Testament was known, after the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, the epistles of Peter and the Apocalypse began to appear.

Many act the same as Marta-1

In the daily rush we forget the love of Jesus. We remember this on holyday or Sunday worship. Our focus is the routine that lies before us at school, at work, or even at home. We have lost more time in knowing which movie will debut on cable TV than to think of the Gospel, the words with the power of deliverance, spoken by Jesus to his disciples or prophets in the Old Testament.

The world is full of Martas. Even within the church they are present. It is enough for the cult to advance on time, that the look on the clock begins to bother the pastor, who watches everything from the pulpit. The gestures of nervousness and haste, perhaps revealing the concern with the interview that will be displayed on the television program screened on Sunday nights or even something that someone will review on social networks that day.

In this way of life, we realize that the spiritual gives way to the material, to the physical, to the small things that dominate the people in their daily lives. Everything is routine. At this time of year there is great concern about the coming of Christmas, when the Bible itself, in the Gospel of Matthew, does not reveal when the birth of Jesus Christ occurred. The business is getting ready for the holidays. It's a time of running to the shops, to the malls. Anyway the deal is to look beautiful or beautiful in the photo.

It is notorious the reduction of public in the cults from the second fortnight of December. The business is to take a vacation from Jesus ... that's right, people travel leaving the Lord aside, as if the Gospel were something fast food. Enjoy and throw away. We need to rest, because no one is iron, but we can not leave aside our call.

It is famous the text written by Luke, chapter 10, verses 38/42, where it is narrated the visit of Jesus to the house of the sisters Marta and Maria. Martha worried about the housework, after all the Lord came with his disciples and needed to cook to attend to all, besides leaving the environment neat.

Already Mary sought to sit at Jesus' feet, to be close to Him. Because of this Martha told the Lord if He would not be worried about Mary leaving her alone. The master replied that his sister chose the best part: to be by her side!

Today we live in the 21st century, in a technological society, where it is possible to cook rice and other foods using electronics, when it is often possible to buy canned food in the supermarket for a few minutes in the microwave and everything is ready. The effort is minimal. Ironing is another task currently simplified, with sophisticated gadgets that steam removes any dough from the fabric.

Even with every step, to make life easier, we find reasons to leave Jesus aside. It seems that daily chores are more important. Just like chatting on social networks or questioning in WhatsApp. Everything is in the foreground, except the Lord. Sometimes we do not even remember to thank for the night's sleep when we get up in the morning.
