Pensamento:
Poderíamos chamar isso da ironia do discipulado. Seguir a Cristo significa que deixamos tudo para segui-lo. Seguir a Cristo significa que recebemos bênçãos incontáveis nesta vida e a vida eterna com Deus na vida do porvir. Então, é difícil? Sim, às vezes é. Mas a vida é dura. O fardo que Jesus prometeu é leve? Sim, porque sabemos que não vivemos nossas vidas em vão, que estamos vivendo esta vida como Deus quer, e que quando a vida aqui termina, não termina na verdade! Temos o privilégio de ir para casa e estar com nosso Senhor!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We could call it the irony of discipleship. To follow Jesus Christ means that we surrender everything and follow Him. To follow Christ means that we receive untold blessings in this life and eternal life with God in the life to come. So is it hard? Yes, sometimes it is very challenging, downright exhausting, and at certain times, filled with rejection and persecution. Jesus said it would be that way at times. And let's be honest, life is hard. So, can our burden be light as Jesus promised? Yes, because we do not live our lives in vain, and we are living life as God intended us to live. Our efforts make a difference, and we get to meet incredible people whom we will know forever. Then, when our life is over on this earth, it isn't really over! We get to go home and be with our Lord in the glory, and our Savior will welcome us home. Our souls will find rest, and every burden will be lifted just as every tear will be dried!
Oração:
Dê-me a coragem, Ó Deus, para enfrentar os desafios que tenho que enfrentar. Dê-me a caridade para lidar apropriadamente com aqueles que encontro. Dê-me a gratidão por tudo que o Senhor tem feito para me abençoar. Dê-me a claridade para entender que viver para Jesus é a melhor de todas as escolhas. No nome do Senhor Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial de hoje! http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_mateus11_28b.html
My Prayer...
Please give me courage, O God, to face the challenges that I must confront. Give me charity to deal appropriately with those I meet. Give me thankfulness for all that you have done to bless me. Give me the foresight to see that living for Jesus is the best of all choices. As I walk this road of discipleship, dear Lord, please give me the rest I need to continue boldly, faithfully, and passionately. I trust that you will bring me home to you in glory, and I will find my rest in your presence, where your grace and glory will erase every pain, burden, and hardship. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I praise and thank you. Amen.
