Conhecem aquela sensação de não querer celebrar muito as conquistas porque de repente irá chegar uma desgraça?Aquela sensação de que se algo muito bom está para acontecer, é só esperar que na curva vem uma catástrofe à moda de Pedrógão?
Então, eu sou (mas quero deixar de ser) desse tipo de pessoa.
Sou (mas quero muito deixar de ser) o tipo de pessoa que tem "medo" das alegrias em grandes quantidades (mas quero deixar de ter).
Quero muito aprender a confiar e descansar na graça, favor e bondade de Deus sobre mim.
E este artigo, encorajou-me a pensar de uma forma diferente.
Segem os trechos daquilo que mexeu comigo :)
"I was marveling over the blessings God had given me and how he answered longtime prayers in a big way. As I considered these blessings, my first thought was “I wonder what trial lies around the corner?”"
"I assumed that God needed to round out the blessings in my life with something hard, as though there were a limit to how many blessings he gives"
"I am an Eeyore by nature. I tend to see the dark side of things and assume the worst. I see the glass as half empty rather than half full. I tend to view God’s interactions with me as an angry father doling out punishment. And so it comes as no surprise that I would barely take the time to enjoy the gifts I’ve been given before I anticipate their being taken away."
"But I don’t like living life that way. It sucks the joy right out of me. Not only that, but it’s wrong to think this way. It is inconsistent with who the Bible says God is, who we are to him, and how he works in our lives.""Maybe it is hard for you to enjoy the sweet sunshine today because you fear a storm will come tomorrow. When we find ourselves anticipating the worst, we need to remind ourselves of the truth. We need to transform our thinking through God’s word."
Que os nossos corações possam descansar em paz!
