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.

Work

To survive, it is needed to work,

If we want to have something,

We need to fight for everything.

Because nobody will get anything without fighting.

 

We always must trust in God,

But you cannot be lazy and make no effort.

There are many things you have to do,

For other things to happen to you.

 

The Lord ordered the work for everyone,

Then nobody will escape from what must be done.

It was an order from the Lord since the creation,

He said humans must work to get their provisions.

 

So that God may bless you,

There are many things you can always do.

Then the Lord sees your persistence,

And God's prosperity will be over you.

 

It will not be only in the material your prosperity,

It will be mainly in everything related to spirituality.

God will work on you,

And in all areas of your life, you will improve.

 

Ask God for strengths to continue in your fight,

Those who work, He will fortify.

All necessary help, God will provide,

Then you will always fructify.
