Dazed and confused.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way….”(“A tale of two cities”- Charles Dickens)

Dear generation, I know this present time can feel overhelming! We are all so fed up with a variety of informations, opinions, teories and conspiracy. There are so many roads that we don’t know wich way to go. Are you tired?!

Are you sick of living a purposeless, empty life? Are you tired of being labeled? People say that you are giving up. That fear and anxiety are overtaking you, that you are the most confused and unsatisfied generation of all. How long you are going to put up with this?

Can you hear a voice inside of you, calling you to more? Insisting that you were born to live a meaninful life? You can choose to surrender to despair and just give up or you can fight and believe there is more on the other side of this wall of bad news and anger!

Are you ready to give up of everything you thought you knew, to step into something greater? That requires boldness and courage! But this is the time to risk everything that seems “secure” to enter in the amazing unknown, that can lead you to where you always wanted to go!

Dear generation, it is not the end yet. You can say yes to a new path, a new way of thinking and living that is completely counter-cultural. You can choose to rebel against this fallen system.

Isn’t that what the younger generations always wanted to do?!

You can decide to live the best of times or keep drowning in the worst of it. You are called to a life of surrender, where we can undress ourselves of every burden, masks and every lie, to be what you were creted to be: Sons and daughters of Light, embassadors of the Truth.

Dear generation, you are called for more!

Don’t be afraid! All you have to do is to embrace a simple YES, that will change your history forever. Leave behind the old and the known to step into something new and greater than anything you could ever dream of!

You were created and called for a life of adventure!

At the well(The encounter).

He is simple,

and his approach is smooth, always gentle.

‘If you only knew who is talking to you’, he said

‘You’d ask me for a overflowing water,

that would satisfy your thirsty forever!’

His ways breaks down our most fortified defenses,

He sees through our brilliant façade.

With him we don’t need to pretend,

that we are strong, that we are fine.

He knows our deepest needs(and wounds)

and He is willing to fullfil them all.

If she only knew that in that common day

at the well, He’d change her life forever,

that all the tears and the shame would be in the past…

He always comes when we are not expecting,

He choses ways that we never saw coming,

Jesus tears down all our walls of resistance,

Because with him, we don’t need to pretend.

Surrender is the key,

For a path of freedom and purpose.

We just need to welcome Him.

He will lead us all the way.

João 4:1-26

O encontro.

Ele é simples,

e sua abordagem é suave, sempre gentil.

‘Se você soubesse quem está falando com você’, disse ele

‘Você me pediria água viva(transbordante!),

isso satisfaria sua sede para sempre!’

Seus caminhos derrubam nossas defesas mais profundas,

Ele vê através da nossa fachada.

Com ele não precisamos fingir,

que somos fortes, que estamos bem.

Ele conhece nossas necessidades mais profundas (e feridas!)

e Ele está disposto a suprir todas elas.

Se ela soubesse que naquele dia comum,

no poço, Ele mudaria sua vida para sempre,

que todas as lágrimas e vergonha ficariam no passado…

Ele sempre vem quando menos esperamos,

Ele escolhe caminhos que nunca imaginamos!

Jesus derruba todos os nossos muros, nossa resistência,

Porque com Ele, não precisamos fingir.

A entrega é a chave,

Para um caminho de liberdade e propósito.

Só precisamos saudá-Lo, deixá-Lo entrar.

Ele vai nos liderar por todo o caminho.
