Learning on Difficulties

Sometimes life goes through ways not planned,

It occurs what is not desired, and does not happen the hoped.

Initially, we get uneasy, without knowing the reason for it,

We want to know why that thing is happening.

We stay sad, nervous, and revolted about the situation,

We want to know the reason; we seek an explanation.

Although we tried, we will not be able to clarify,

We will not reach a conclusion, although we desire.

For some time, we got very anguished and frustrated,

But this goes away, and soon we fight for everything to be solved.

For what seemed impossible, we can find a way to solve it,

Then, we can rest, and we feel great relief.

After some time, we know there is happening a similar problem,

Immediately we think, “I have the experience to solve that problem.”

We help that one who was sad and did not know what to do in his life,

We give them strength and we support them to go back to good times.

After that, we can understand the context of everything,

We passed through a bad situation to learn something.

God taught us how to deal with that complicated situation,

Then, through our help, another life could have a transformation.

Changing the Vision

Sometimes we stay sad because we do not get something,

We stay unpleased, and about what we do not have, we think.

In our hearts arises a big feeling of unhappiness,

Because what we desire, we do not possess.

 

At this moment, we forget all conquered things,

About what we have in our lives, we forget everything.

We cannot see the blessings we have already received,

For what we do not have, we are looking fixedly.

 

We need to change our vision, and look in another direction,

For everything we already have, we must show appreciation.

We must thank God for everything He already gave us,

We must stop demanding from God what has not happened to us.

 

Our hearts must keep calm and trust in God,

Knowing that at the right time, what we need will be given by the Lord.

Because God is perfect, and He will never fail in anything,

We only have to learn to trust and wait for Him.

Demonstrating Gratitude

We have to be faithful to the Lord,

He already has blessed us a lot.

He gives us life every day,

He gives us daily bread all day.

 

To God, we can promise something,

As was said, we must do everything.

We cannot promise things in vain,

We must not have falsehood in our heart.

 

If a grace the Lord has given you,

And a commitment with God was made by you,

Everything that your heart said, you have to do,

On the commitment to the Lord, you must be faithful.

 

We must give the best for the vote to the Lord,

We did not receive the worst from God,

A pleasant sacrifice, we must do,

Being honored in the time to be grateful.

 

The thanks are very important,

Because it shows that we are not arrogant.

It shows that from the Lord, we are dependent.

And we are conscious of all our commitments.
