Anseios / Yearnings / Yearnings

Leitura Bíblica: Salmos 63:1-8
Como é precioso o teu amor, ó Deus, os homens encontram refúgio à sombra de tuas asas (Salmos 36:7).

É interessante como mudamos em função de um relacionamento. Por exemplo: eu e meu marido alteramos alguns hábitos alimentares com nosso casamento. Eu tinha verdadeira aversão à cebola. Minha mãe tinha que triturar a cebola no liquidificador ou simplesmente não colocá-la no molho. Hoje, um dos meus pratos que mais aprecio é uma bela macarronada com molho vermelho, com bastante cebola. Já meu marido não gostava de queijo, portanto evitava pizza e outros pratos com este elemento. Hoje um dos nossos pratos especiais é um delicioso fondue de queijo, no qual até disputamos a rapinha de queijo que fica no fundo da panela.
Assim acontece também no relacionamento do homem com Deus. O homem que não conhece Deus tem aversão a tudo que se relaciona com Ele. Mas a partir do momento em que esse mesmo se converte, ou seja, reconhece seu pecado, aceita a reconciliação com Deus por meio de Jesus e inicia um relacionamento de amor com Ele, os valores espirituais passam a ser relevantes. Ir à igreja, ler e estudar a Bíblia, orar, ter comunhão com outros cristãos passa a ser um prazer para esse homem. Como o salmista, que busca a Deus intensamente, pois sua alma tem sede de Deus. Ele chega a declarar que o “amor de Deus é melhor que a vida”. Realmente, o relacionamento com Deus é o mais significativo que o homem pode ter, tanto que muda toda a sua vida, seu modo de pensar e agir e até os seus anseios. Antes avesso a Deus, hoje tem prazer em sua presença. É isto que Deus tem em mente para você: vida abundante, que vale a pena, pois o homem que busca Deus encontra nele o verdadeiro sentido da sua vida. – (Carlise Tiede Käser).
O verdadeiro anseio do coração do homem só Deus pode satisfazer.


Yearnings

Bible reading: Psalms 63: 1-8
How precious is your love, o God, the men find refuge in the shadow of your wings (Psalm 36:7).

It is interesting how we changed on the basis of a relationship. For example: my husband and I changed some eating habits with our marriage. I had real aversion to onion. My mother had to grind the onion in a blender or just don't put it in the sauce. Today, one of my dishes that I really like is a nice pasta with red sauce, with onions. Already my husband did not like cheese, so avoided pizza and other dishes with this element. Today one of our special dishes is a delicious cheese fondue, in which up to squabble over the prey of cheese in the bottom of the pan.
So happens also on man's relationship with God. The man who does not know God has aversion to everything that relates to It. But once that even converts, recognizes his sin, accept reconciliation with God through Jesus and starts a love relationship with him, the spiritual values become relevant. Go to church, read and study the Bible, pray, fellowship with other Christians is a pleasure for this man. As the psalmist, which seeks God intensely, because your soul thirsts for God. He goes on to declare that "God's love is better than life". Actually, the relationship with God is the most significant that the man may have as much that changes your whole life, your way of thinking and acting and up to their expectations. Before averse to God, today takes pleasure in his presence. This is what God has in mind for you: abundant life, what it's worth, because the man who seeks God finds in it the true meaning of his life. -(Carlise Tiede Käser).
The true yearning of the human heart only God can satisfy.
