Se te sentes sem rumo, fala com Deus

Enquanto crescia, nunca percebi quando as pessoas davam conselhos não solicitados umas às outras. Parecia sempre um cego a guiar outro cego.

Pensem nisso. Cada um de nós tem uma experiência de vida completamente diferente: a nossa mente, o nosso coração, a nossa infância, os nossos pais, os nossos gostos, são todos diferentes e inimitáveis.

While we can look up to someone and learn from other people, we still can’t be sure that’s the right way for us to do something and live our lives.

The only thing that we can truly rely on is ourselves and the one who speaks through and inside of us. I’m talking about God.

It’s hard to tell why, but the presence of God seems to be loudest when we’re the emptiest.

It’s like a soul alarm turning on when it detects a lack of fullness and faith.

The loudness of God isn’t really loud in a literal sense, it’s more precise to say it’s omnipresent.

Para onde quer que vás e tudo o que faças, ele seguir-te-á. Deus fala connosco das formas mais inesperadas.

Ele deixa-nos pequenos sinais e lembretes que são difíceis de perder, mas por vezes as pessoas são muito teimosas.

Deus pode falar através de oportunidades perdidas e planos cancelados; Ele pode falar através de mensagens não respondidas, encontros casuais, uma palavra de um estranho ou uma letra de música mal ouvida.

If you ask Him for help, be sure you’ll get it. However, be sure to open your eyes and your heart too.

What does that mean? It means seeing beyond what’s obvious. For example, instead of thinking your failed relationship is a tragedy, you can notice how much stronger and more observant you’ve become because of it.

Bad things will always happen, but they don’t have to stay bad and make you bad.

As coisas más são catalisadores que nos permitem ver e valorizar as coisas boas.

Por isso, se te sentes sem rumo, fala com Deus. Se te sentes confuso, fala com Deus. Se te sentes um fracasso, fala com Deus.

Talk to God and He will show you the way. God wants to help and He waits for your questions and prayer. He’s not intrusive.

Open your heart and listen to your soul. Have faith and don’t give up. Changes take time. Life is unpredictable, but God is unmoved.

Things can’t get perfect overnight; it’s just not how it works. However, it’s possible and it happens all the time.

We like to call them miracles. They act as reassurance and God’s way of telling us we’re good as we are, enough as we are.

If you feel directionless, ask for directions. Don’t look for shortcuts. Don’t jump over the fence, that’s how you get lost and hurt yourself.

Ask for directions and don’t be scared of long, empty roads. The long road means getting comfortable with yourself.

The long road means testing your limits and seeing your strength, will, and power. It’s long, but it’s safe and clear.

I know it can be scary to embark on a journey where the only person you can count is yourself and the love of God, but it’s worth it.

Tudo aquilo para que não estava preparado será aceite com a sua fé e confiança recém-descobertas. Tudo o que temes será impotente perante o amor.

Deus é uma tremenda fonte de serenidade, segurança, amor e objetivo. Através de Deus, compreendemos o nosso objetivo.

Ao conhecermos o nosso objetivo, fazemos as escolhas certas. E com as escolhas certas vem o parceiro certo, o emprego certo e os amigos.

Having all of that make our lives beautiful and joyful, and our souls overflowing with love – just the way God intended it to be.
