Coração
O coração é o centro do ser humano — sede dos pensamentos, emoções e decisões. A Bíblia ensina a guardar, purificar e render o coração a Deus como oferta viva.
Guardar o coração
Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida e de toda decisão.
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
My son, do not forget my teaching,
But have your heart comply with my commandments;
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and a good reputation
In the sight of God and man.
A tranquil heart is life to the body,
But jealousy is rottenness to the bones.
The wise of heart will receive commands,
But a babbling fool will come to ruin.
Coração puro
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Ensina-me a contar meus dias para que tenha um coração sábio.
Create in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for the Lord.
Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
May He grant you your heart’s desire
And fulfill your whole plan!
Blessed are those who comply with His testimonies,
And seek Him with all their heart.
I will give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.
Buscar a Deus de coração
Amarás ao Senhor teu Deus de todo o coração. A busca sincera leva ao encontro; o coração dividido leva à ruína.
And He said to him, " ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
And He said to him, " ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted to him.
"The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
"The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
"I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.
And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Only be very careful to follow the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and cling to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."
And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Conhecer o coração
O homem olha para a aparência, mas o Senhor olha para o coração. Deus conhece os segredos mais profundos.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person.
A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Commit your works to the Lord,
And your plans will be established.
Your adornment must not be merely the external—braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel; but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to thatform of teaching to which you were entrusted,
so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
Do not harden your hearts aswhen they provoked Me,
As on the day of trial in the wilderness,
