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.
Bless the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.
O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], youi [are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; early will I seek youi: my soul thirsts for youi, my flesh longs for youi in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Why are youi cast down, O my soul? and why are youi disquieted within me? hope youi in God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), and my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
Truly my soul waits upon God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: from him [cometh] my salvation.
I wait for the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], my soul does wait, and in his word do I hope.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto youi; and my soul, which youi have redeemed.
The law of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] sure, making wise the simple.
For youi have possessed my reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion): youi have covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise youi; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvelous [are] youri works; and [that] my soul knows right well.
Deliver my soul, O LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], from lying lips, [and] from 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.
"What profit is there for a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul forever; what good exchange does a man make if, for present things that are spoiled, he should give his soul to the judgment of Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]?"
He said to him: "Thou shalt love Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] your Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength".
"Do not fear those who kill bodies, who have no power to kill souls; but fear The One who has power to destroy the soul and body in Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]".
But if from there youi shall seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], youi shall find [him], if youi seek him with all youi heart and with all youi soul.
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) charged you, to love the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cling to (hold onto; stick to) him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth: and you2f know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] spoke concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing has failed thereof.
And you2f shall seek me, and find [me], when you2f shall search for me with all your heart.
Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Stand you2f in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk in it, and you2f shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in it].
Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Beloved, I wish above all things that youi may prosper and be in health, even as youri soul prospers.
