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.
My soul, bless the Lord,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you.
I thirst for you;
my body faints for you
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
Why, my soul, are you so dejected?
Why are you in such turmoil?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him,
my Savior and my God.
I am at rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
I wait for the Lord; I wait
and put my hope in his word.
My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you
because you have redeemed me.
The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.
For it was you who created my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I will praise you
because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. ,
Your works are wondrous,
and I know this very well.
"Lord, rescue me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue."
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.
For what will it benefit someone if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will anyone give in exchange for his life?
He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.,
Don’t fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul;rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
But from there, you will search for the Lord your God, and you will find him when you seek him with all your heart and all your soul.
Only carefully obey the command and instruction that Moses the Lord’s servant gave you: to love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, keep his commands, be loyal to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul."
"I am now going the way of the whole earth, and you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises the Lord your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.
You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.
This is what the Lord says:
Stand by the roadways and look.
Ask about the ancient paths,
"Which is the way to what is good? "
Then take it
and find rest for yourselves.
But they protested, "We won’t! "
Pleasant words are a honeycomb:
sweet to the taste and health to the body. ,
Dear friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and are in good health, just as your whole life is going well.
