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.
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.
If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying.
Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation.
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;
jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
The wise are glad to be instructed,
but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
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, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord!
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
May he grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I have tried hard to find you—
don’t let me wander from your commands.
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.
Jesus replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
Jesus replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked.
Who really knows how bad it is?
"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked.
Who really knows how bad it is?
But I, the Lord, search all hearts
and examine secret motives.
I give all people their due rewards,
according to what their actions deserve."
If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul."
And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart,
And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.
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, "Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
As a face is reflected in water,
so the heart reflects the real person.
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
Commit your actions to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed.
Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. "For God loves a person who gives cheerfully."
Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.
May he, as a result, make your hearts strong, blameless, and holy as you stand before God our Father when our Lord Jesus comes again with all his holy people. Amen.
don’t harden your hearts
as Israel did when they rebelled,
when they tested me in the wilderness.
