God forgot you ??? - 5

In all this that I quoted in the above lines, God is still at your side. She never left him. He walks along with you, contemplates your worries, hears your heartbeat, blood pressure rises, tears streaming from your eyes, when you go to the bathroom for seconds or minutes of peace.

As you probe and know all our thoughts, visualize your move and how you will act when the bad time arrives. Even when we feel rotten, dirty and even incompetent to find a solution to a serious problem. God remains present, attentive to everything.

We question ourselves. If Jesus Christ sees everything, why not come in to solve and take the stumbling block out of the way? Simple! He allows all this for our growth. In the school of the Lord, problems exist to be solved, never to be set aside! In the vestibular of God, no question is left blank. It needs to be resolved.

Therefore let my brother and sister in Jesus Christ withdraw from your head the thoughts of which the Lord has forgotten you. He's never going to do something like that. You are gold in his hands and will remain in the furnace of Heaven until you reach the maximum point of stoning and become rare jewel in the store of life, whose brightness of the Lord is intense.

Even the most beautiful and coveted woman in the world, feels the nuisance of PMS (Premenstrual Tension). There is no escape. She arrives and moves the mood, leaving everything different around her, even giving the impression that she will be dirty for a few days. And because of this, in Judaism, on menstruating days, women are considered impure.

Or the next pregnant woman to give birth. How many pains do not cause the contractions, announcing that the baby is coming? If it is a natural childbirth, the pains in the operating table, until the concretization of that birth, will play it in the worst of the worlds. Until the doctor removes the child and shows that a new life has come into the world.

These are situations that everyone will pass through. No executive comes to the position of becoming president in a company, without going through the terrible test of solving complicated situations. Is it more difficult than at the request of shareholders to close branches and announce countless layoffs, including the men and women who head their homes?

Imagine the eve of this ad. Try to sleep and know that within a few hours, hundreds or even thousands of people will be out of work, burying dreams of young employees or abort the time of employees who are about to retire. It is not easy to get through this funnel, without feeling anything in the heart.

Trapped to memories, we imagined that we were happy then. After all, everything was going well. The accounts were under control. Red never showed up in the finances, leaving the credit card and special check aside. We sailed in a calm sea, illuminated by a beautiful sun.

Like a child, we Christians get used to the bonanza. We think that the whole course of life will be like this. Only calm, equally eternal spring, when the gardens are always flowery or summer, where the heat is the trademark, leaving the cold clothes guarded.

We forget the famous phrase of Jesus Christ: "In the world you will have afflictions ...." How good it would be to live on this planet, without feeling the bitter taste of those terrible days! Look at the sky and see no dark cloud, announcing rain, causing floods and catastrophes.

Children and adolescents act this way. They think that life is an eternal party, where everything is only joy. They will never face charges. The dreams will be fulfilled without any dose of sacrifice, just like ripe fruit falling from the foot. But this is not the way the wheel of time turns.

Everything conspires against you. Sleep is not enough. Because the worries do not give you rest. The pains attack your body, especially in the spine, which channels the negative discharges of the nervous system, because inside the cord this important channel receives all the impact of what is lodged in the mind.

It's terrible. You feel the weight of the insulation. Few people come to you. Even in social networks, no one is willing to talk to you. It is the same patient afflicted with severe illness, which even doctors and nurses seek to keep away.

It's not easy. You pray, cry, fast, go to the mountain, but in your vision, nothing seems right. In this hour, the good times lived in the past return swiftly in your thoughts. Relive that era, where he lived a small interval of happiness, when money was full in the checking account.

Remember financial stability. The salary was deposited on a monthly basis, the good medical covenant shocked any concerns about his health and his family. The shopping was backed by the excellent food voucher and the weekends were packed with trips or lunch at good restaurants.

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.

How many Christians would imitate the gesture of Elisha? - 7

Another form of this Evil Army's role is to encourage homosexuality, be it male or female. In a sophisticated way, satan stuffed this cake, whose interior is garbage, like a lifestyle. It distorts the Word of God when it says that God is love, leaving out the rest of the phrase: "but it is justice."

There are cases of marriages that have come to an end when one of the partners decided to go and live with a man or a woman. However emotionally prepared, any man or woman who is changed by another in this kind of situation will feel the thump.

God in 1 Corinthians 6, verse 9/10 says, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither immortals, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive or active homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor alcoholics, nor slanderers nor cheaters will inherit the Kingdom of God. "

In this case the Christian with Giasin's behavior will call Jesus Christ radical or homophobic. Is God, in this kind of problem, stupid and we sinners are the smart, knowledgeable of the truth? Some say we are in the age of Grace and God is merciful. Yes! When the
We know.
