Traim in secolul 21 !!!!

Azi la programul de copii intre 6-10 ani, am avut subiectul "Rugaciunea"; primul lucrul care l-am facut cu voluntarele din America, a fost sa ii intrebam cand se roaga ei si pentru ce; mi-au mangaiat sufletul cand i-am auzit ca desi vin dintr-un mediu atat de saracacios si lipsit de orice urma de modernism, sunt multumitori Domnului ca au o familie si prieteni de joaca; ca au unde lua o masa calda pe zi si unde invata despre Dumnezeu; ca desi sunt saraci la Dumnezeu ii pasa!!!!

Oare oamenii care au ajuns sa fie dependenti de orice tine de modernism, care nu ar putea sta nici 3 zile fara o baie modernizata cu toate conditiile, care nu ar rezista sa stea fara curent, fara camera proprie si pat confortabil; care nu stiu ce e aia sa te trezesti dimineata fara mancare pe masa, sa ai doar 3 schimburi de haine, sa nu iti permiti dulciuri decat la ocazii speciale, etc. 

Oare mai suntem ca Pavel care accepta orice conditie pentru a vesti Cuvantul?!? Dumnezeu ne vrea pescari de oameni, cum putem fii daca modernismul ne fura timpul? Daca importanta modei, tehnologiei si a nevoilor personale sta inaintea nevoilor Lui?!? 

Suntem prea obisnuiti cu tot ce inseamna viata din secolul 21, suntem prea obisnuiti cu tot ce inseamna comoditate si nevoi personale, suntem prea obisnuiti cu obisnuinta!!! 

Nu doar ca uitam de scopul nostru ca si crestini, dar uitam pana si ce inseamna sa fim prieteni adevarati; prietenii care in nevoi ajungem ca fratii; prietenii care in miezul noptii iti deschid pentru o paine; prietenii care la bucurii se bucura cu tine si nu sunt invidiosi!!! 

De foarte mult timp nu am mai fost cautata doar ca sa fiu intrebata cum sunt, si nu doar pentru ca au altii nevoie de mine; de prea multe ori mi se intampla sa nu fie nimeni disponibil cand am eu nevoi, de prea multe ori nu se ofera nimeni sa ajute cand stiu ca au cu ce si pot, de prea multe ori....

Cand se trezesc unii sa afirme ca ei stiu data cand e sfarsitul lumii, radem si batjocorim; intradevar singurul care stie ziua exacta e Domnul, dar tocmai deaia ar trebui sa fim precauti, cand vedem ca toate catastrofele din Apocalipsa se petrec sub ochii nostri....suntem atat de inconstienti de ce inseamna Judecata care ne asteapta; suntem atat de preocupati de viata de aici incat pur si simplu uitam ca suntem trecatori....cand moare cineva ne oprim din mersul rapid si ne amintim ca exista si Moarte...dar foarte repede trecem din nou in mersul alert spre scopurile noastre care defapt sunt scopuri fara sens si logica....in final ce scop e ala daca nu exista si El in rezultat?!? 

Revin la copii de la Centrul Veritas unde sunt voluntara, nu sunt singurii copii cu nevoile acestea, in fiecare oras exista copii care sunt respinsi de societate din cauza nivelului lor de trai; dar uitam faptul ca Dumnezeu nu pune accent pe bogatiile exterioare ci pe cele interioare, si oare nu si copiii acestia au nevoie de sprijin in implinirea visurilor lor?

 Si totusi...noi, inca invatam de la ei!!!!

Haide cu mine.

Haide, in seara asta sa ne rupem de lume, sa fugim si sa ne adapostim la poalele Lunii, razele ei sclipitoare sa fie singura noastra sursa de lumina...

Haide, sa las pentru o noapte gandurile omenesti, sa invat sa ne lasam purtati de timp si situatii..

Haide, pentru o noapte sa uit tot ce tine de razbunare, mandrie, aroganta si invidie...sa uit toate greselile celor din jur...

Haide, pentru o noapte, macar, sa imi las inima coplesita de o dragoste care sa inunde si inimile altora...

Haide, in noaptea asta sa vizitam toate persoanele care au  nevoie de alinare si incurajare....

Haide cu mine...sa invat si eu mai bine ce inseamna sa las nevoile mele pentru nevoile lor; sa invat ce inseamna sa pun pe cei din jur mai presus decat mine; sa invat sa iubesc cu o dragoste desavarsita pe oricine.

Haide, in noaptea aceasta cu mine, caci la adapostul aripilor Tale voi intelege mai bine nevoia schimbarii in bine, voi privii cu ochii credintei spre scopul luptei...

Haide, ca in vremurile in care inocenta mea era in floare...imi e pur si simplu dor de noptile petrecute cu Tine...

Haide...avem putin timp la dispozitie...e doar o noapte in care am atatea de invatat...si atatia oameni de vizitat prin rugaciune....

Haide...iar maine, priveste-ma si observa-mi schimbarea si ravna binelui ce o vei sadi in noaptea aceasta...

Haide, caci sufletul meu e in primavara si rasadurile trebuie plantate...

Haide...dar nu uita sa inviti si alte suflete ce vor sa fie rupte de firul obisnuintei...

Don't just do it, pray first!!!!!

Yesterday, after school I was waiting for my bus in a bus station and an old man came to me, and asked if I know english, I said "yes". He needed information how to get to Sangeorgiu de Padure; he had to wait for the bus in the same station where I was waiting, because we didn't have nothing else to do we start talking and after 10 minute we were talking about the difference between West Europe and East, and about the romanian people who are going to west for "a happy life", I told him that I never been in West to work, I start working in highschool and I am ok as I am. 

What I've discover while we were talking is that he wasn't surprise in anything I was saying.

After that talk about differences he asked me if I found my true happines, I told him that  I am christian and I found my happines in God, he told me he is a christian too and because his bus has to come he said that he wants to pray for me in that moment. I didn't have time to react because he started immediately. I was to shocked to pray, also the bus station was full of people, and they were

looking at us; also I was shocked when I was listening to his words, he was parying for my life
and for my problems like I ever told him how I am and what I need. 

When he finished he told me that God wants me home, back home, and that 
the Holy Spirit is helping and suporting me in my prayers. i felt that my heart is full of peace
 and power while I was talking with him. I told him that I think God put him in my way, 
he didn't say anything, he was smiling at me; he was old, more then 65 years, but I could
 see on his face that he was happy inside and young in his life.  I invited him to visit 
Sighisoara when he have any time, but he told me that "I hope I will see you Up there, sister". 

Then the bus came, and those minutes wich seemed for me hours had to stop, I thought
 that my peace will go with him, before he get in the bus, he turn to me and
 shout "Be blessed sister" , everybody was looking at me but I couldn't do anything then smile. 

He was gone and I couldn't understand what was it, and why did he picked me from all
 the people who were in  that station. Why was he so misterious?!? 

I can't answer to my questions but what I understand is that God want me to know that He is 
still in my life control, that He still cares and even if there are months since I wait for some
answers, He listen to my prayers, He still counts my tears. It was the answer that I was looking
for. 

A few days ago I was prayning for a sign, for something that I could be sure that He still cares. 
So, He gave me what I asked for, even if wasn't how I was imagine but it was the greatest
minutes I ever spend with someone. 

All I can say is that yesterday God let me feel a part of His truly presence.

Why I wrote this? Because I want to tell you that Gos is there, is with you, is in you.
He feels with you, He listen even if He is not answering right away. 

He still loves you, and He want your simplicity to walk with His Holy Spirit. 

God still loves you, brother/sister., and He still do miracles when you expect less. 

I know life is though, I know people are mean, I know that the devil is more involved in our lifes

then in past, I know all this stuff, but I also know that God made us a promise, that He will win
and He will take us back home,when the time will come. 

Pray..is the only way to feel the truth, spread love and joy, is the only way to show
everyone that you are happy; tell eveyone about the truth, it is the only way to serve Him.

Do all of this and maybe we will meet Up there, with that old man :) 

And don't forget, don't just do it, always pray first!!! 

Optimismul crestinului.

Azi, desi a fost prima zi dupa vacanta, desi facultatea era goala si ma plictiseam la cursuri, desi a plouat toata ziua, desi nimeni nu mi-a zambit, desi nimeni nu m-a imbratisat...am ales sa visez, am visat atat de departe cu ochii deschisi...

In drum spre casa, ma gandeam la visul meu pe plan profesional care se combina atat de perfect cu slujirea mea pentru El; visam cu ochii deschisi si pe microbuz m-am gasit zambind singura :)

Am uitat cat de bine e sa visezi si sa fii atat de optimist in dorinta de a-ti implini visul, mai ales atunci cand pasii Lui te leaga strans de visul tau si viziunea Lui. Azi, nu mi-a zambit nimeni, dar am ales sa zambesc eu. Azi, nu m-a imbratisat nimeni, dar am ales sa imbratisez eu. Azi, nu m-a incurajat nimeni, iar acum aleg sa va incurajez eu...

Visati...lasati visele voastre sa prinda forma, gandurile voastre sa fie invaluite de intelepciunea Lui...si atunci ma ve'ti intelege de ce aleg sa fac ce as vrea sa mi se faca, de ce las optimismul sa-mi surada in fata :)

Te provoc, cum nu am mai provocat de mult pe blogul meu, sa incepi maine dimineata ziua cu zambetul pe buze si cu siguranta ca indiferent de vreme, de starea celor din jur, Dumnezeu nu se schimba niciodata si El de fiecare data cand zambesti, zambeste cu tine; de fiecare data cand imbratisezi, te imbratiseaza si pe tine; de fiecare data cand incurajezi, te incurajeaza si pe tine...caci nimic din binefacerile noastre nu vor fi uitate de El!!!
