Um velho samurai

"A pergunta certa é geralmente mais importante do que a resposta certa à pergunta errada." A. Tofller

Versículo: "Vindo o vosso temor como a assolação, e vindo a vossa perdição como uma tormenta, sobrevirá a vós aperto e angústia. Então clamarão a mim, mas eu não responderei; de madrugada me buscarão, porém não me acharão. Porquanto odiaram o conhecimento; e não preferiram o temor do SENHOR: Não aceitaram o meu conselho, e desprezaram toda a minha repreensão." Provérbios 1:27-30

Bom dia! Pessoal

Um velho samurai

Perto de Tóquio vivia um grande samurai, já idoso, que se dedicava a ensinar zen aos jovens.

Apesar de sua idade, corria a lenda de que ainda era capaz de derrotar qualquer adversário.

Certa tarde, um guerreiro conhecido por sua total falta de escrúpulos apareceu por ali.

Queria derrotar o samurai e aumentar sua fama.

O velho não aceitou o desafio e o jovem começou a insultá-lo.

Chutou algumas pedras em sua direção, cuspiu em seu rosto, gritou insultos, ofendeu seus ancestrais.

Durante horas fez tudo para provocá-lo, mas o velho permaneceu impassível.

No final da tarde, sentindo-se já exausto e humilhado, o impetuoso guerreiro retirou-se.

Desapontados, os alunos perguntaram ao mestre como ele pudera suportar tanta indignidade.

- Se alguém chega até você com um presente, e você não o aceita, a quem pertence o presente?

- A quem tentou entregá-lo, respondeu um dos discípulos.

- O mesmo vale para a inveja, a raiva e os insultos.

Quando não são aceitos, continuam pertencendo a quem o carregava consigo.

A sua paz interior depende exclusivamente de você.

As pessoas não podem lhe tirar a calma. Só se você permitir.

“A calma na luta é sempre um sinal de força e confiança, enquanto a violência, pelo contrário, é prova de fraqueza e de falta de confiança em si mesmo”.

Excelente Sábado
Abraços       :)

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

De tudo e de todas as coisas que você aprendeu, fique com a fé a esperança e o amor. Mas a maior delas é o amor. Jesus continua amando-o, se tivesse que vir ao mundo para novamente morrer na cruz só por você, ele com certeza viria.

"Agora, pois, permanecem a fé, a esperança e o amor, estes três, mas o maior destes é o amor. (1 Coríntios 13:13)"
