Alma
A alma é a parte mais íntima do ser humano — sede da vida, dos afetos e do encontro com Deus. A Bíblia convida a cuidar da alma com zelo e a aquietá-la diante do Senhor.
A alma diante de Deus
Bendize ao Senhor, ó minha alma! A alma suspira por Deus como a corça suspira pelas águas — com sede de eternidade.
With all my heart
I praise the Lord,
and with all that I am
I praise his holy name!
You are my God. I worship you.
In my heart, I long for you,
as I would long for a stream
in a scorching desert.
Why am I discouraged?
Why am I restless?
I trust you, Lord!
And I will praise you again
because you help me,
and you are my God.
Only God can save me,
and I calmly wait for him.
With all my heart,
I am waiting, Lord, for you!
I trust your promises.
You have rescued me!
I will celebrate and shout,
singing praises to you
with all my heart.
The Law of the Lord is perfect;
it gives us new life.
His teachings last forever,
and they give wisdom
to ordinary people.
You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
"Come and save me, Lord,
from deceitful liars!"
Cuidar da alma
Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? Buscar a Deus de toda alma é o caminho da vida.
What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? What would you give to get back your soul?
Jesus answered:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Don’t be afraid of people. They can kill you, but they cannot harm your soul. Instead, you should fear God who can destroy both your body and your soul in hell.
In all of your troubles, you may finally decide that you want to worship only the Lord. And if you turn back to him and obey him completely, he will again be your God.
Moses taught you to love the Lord your God, to be faithful to him, and to worship and obey him with your whole heart and with all your strength. So be very careful to do everything Moses commanded.
I will soon die, as everyone must. But deep in your hearts you know that the Lord has kept every promise he ever made to you. Not one of them has been broken.
You will worship me with all your heart, and I will be with you
The Lord said:
My people, when you stood
at the crossroads,
I told you, "Follow the road
your ancestors took,
and you will find peace."
But you refused.
Kind words are like honey—
they cheer you up
and make you feel strong.
dear friend, and I pray all goes well for you. I hope you are as strong in body, as I know you are in spirit.
