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.
A Psalm of David.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou hast clothed thyself with praise and honour:
For the end, a Psalm of David.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea.
Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
My help shall come from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
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.
And there ye shall seek the Lord your God, and ye shall find him whenever ye shall seek him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.
But take great heed to do the commands and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you to do; to love the Lord our God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commands, and to cleave to him, and serve him with all your mind, and with all your soul.
But I hasten to go the way of death, as all that are upon the earth also do: and know ye in your heart and in your soul, that not one word has fallen to the ground of all the words which the Lord our God has spoken respecting all that concerns us; there has not one of them failed.
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in them.
Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.
