"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
And I count all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost everything. " Philippians 3:7-8
yesterday watching a movie about the 30s I believe. The young protagonist who had lost his father and then he had collected and carefully as a brother, he said, looking at the sky:
"Father, you made me strong to lose.
As the story progresses human being has been weakened in its capacity and lost strength. The conquering force and character trained in temperate and vicissitudes of our ancestors today is almost unrecognizable in our comfortable, light and instant lifestyle.
The growing humanism that it is almost a humanocracia (rule of man) where the center of life is the man and the power is in the power of his mind has limited the strength of our limited human capacity.
My ancestors believed in the theocracy (rule by God) and God's power is protected, strengthened at every obstacle and much more. So it was that my father came to life three concentration camps and had the courage to teach me to be grateful and see the beauty in everything. My mother emigrated after the Second World War fleeing their country ravaged by communism, eating snow and grass in the icy Alps, and taught me what being a virtuous woman. My Aunt Buela waited a lifetime for the man who loved since his teens and had gone to war where he disappeared. My aunt searched tirelessly until she found, or at least the rest of person he was. She married him and nursed him until he died a few months after he was restored. He then studied and studied and died at the university after filing your heart to the Lord Jesus and legarme that love is permanence, commitment and loyalty.
With the exception of life, my family lost everything. Country, culture, friends, identity, money, money. Never heard them complain. . I saw in my parents and grandparents wills railways, a love of God silent but always present. I saw them up, working from sunrise to sunset, taking care of their families, being generous, strong and loving.
Real love is a feeling that strengthens, in confidence, generosity, loyalty, commitment, resistance to adversity, a smile on the crisis. Love makes us strong to lose.
And in that adapt to loss is our gain unexpected.
Overprotection however, weakened. The bird loves his chick pushing out of the nest when the wings are ready, to fly or die. Most species leave their young once completed their training, to force them to enter their destination in the daily struggle for survival. man instead encourage their children to stay at home until even adults, and even protects it to have sex without commitment. People
weak, weak relationships.
overprotective parents to children and people become unable to cope with the competitive and aggressive in the modern world. The abuse, the permanent control of others, undermines the wives, children, and employees end up losing their identities. Encouraging others is not common nowadays.
have weakened our spirits away from God and when He uses the crisis to force us to turn to Him, instead of repenting and accepting His treatment, raised his fist to heaven and we locked in a grudge toward the sky above us ata and plunges us into darkness.
Our souls have been weakened in the emphasis of the wound and not the building of strength.
infinitely thank the hard training I received when I was restored: Instead of eternal regression to the past received the challenge to build a different today. In Instead of treating me like a poor victim confronted me get out of there and take care about others.
Our bodies have been weakened by comfort and overprotection. I have heard many people say no want to swim if the water is heated. My father taught me to swim in the icy water of the lake in place of stones that I loved, taught me how to tolerate the cold water. They had a couple of friends of counts German winter and summer swimming every day in the lake even in the days of snow.
My story was a story of loss and continuous storms. The death of my grandparents, My father of three of my babies, my dog, my friends. The loss of my home, auto, lifestyle, schools, marriage identity.
Sleeping in the street, or knead two loaves of bread to eat all day in the dark because we had nothing and, to queue for a drug in public places, were not my personal hell, but my school of mercy.
always remembered my parents, and I thought that I would leave that. I always remembered my God, and I knew at all times that he reigned over all losses.
I do not complain that I have lived, my loss made me who I am, and strengthened my spirit. I know that on every creature, and every crisis, God has control. My
multiple or perhaps total losses were multiplied in unexpected earnings. Since I stopped to consider myself a victim of the unjust fate, and I got up and knew to keep going strong, blessings, laughter and people came to meet me alone. Be found for your destination while you let yourself be treated by God.
Human beings were made in the image of God Semaj, we are stronger than we think, and if we do not believe we now have the opportunity to find that inner strength allowing you to God that creates character in us through His treatment special. Each storm is reflected well in the hands of perfect giving Potter way as we prepared for eternity. Where any loss will be transformed into pure profit.
never lose There's something in this life yet. God made us to Jesus and for Him (John 1) And he said he would not waste even one of those who had been given (John 6.39). And as I have been given to, I can now stand on his rock, and look at my losses and smile gracefully.
Today, I am stronger than yesterday.
