A Paz

"General que conta como vencerá a batalha perde antes."

Versículo: "O amor é sofredor, é benigno; o amor não é invejoso; o amor não trata com leviandade, não se ensoberbece." I Coríntios 13,4

Bom dia! Pessoal

 A Paz

“Certa vez houve um concurso de pintura e o primeiro lugar seria dado ao quadro que melhor representasse a paz.
Ficaram, dentre muitos, três finalistas igualmente empatados.
O primeiro retratava uma imensa pastagem com lindas flores e borboletas que bailavam no ar acariciadas por uma brisa suave.

O segundo mostrava pássaros a voar sob nuvens brancas como a neve em meio ao azul anil do céu.
O terceiro mostrava um grande rochedo sendo açoitado pela violência das ondas do mar em meio a uma tempestade estrondosa e cheia de relâmpagos.

Mas para surpresa e espanto dos finalistas, o escolhido foi o terceiro quadro, o que retratava a violência das ondas contra o rochedo.

Indignados, os dois pintores que não foram escolhidos, questionaram o juiz que deu o voto de desempate:
- Como este quadro tão violento pode representar a paz, Sr. Juiz?
E o juiz, com uma serenidade muito grande no olhar, disse:
- Vocês repararam que em meio à violência das ondas e à tempestade há, numa das fendas do rochedo, um passarinho com seus filhotes dormindo tranquilamente?

E os pintores sem entender responderam: sim, mas...
Antes que eles concluíssem a frase, o juiz ponderou:
- Caros amigos, a verdadeira paz é aquela que mesmo nos momentos mais difíceis nos permite repousar tranquilos.
Talvez muitas pessoas não consigam entender como pode reinar a paz em meio à tempestade, mas não é tão difícil de entender.

Considerando que a paz é um estado de espírito podemos concluir que, se a consciência está tranquila, tudo à volta pode estar em revolução que conseguiremos manter nossa serenidade.

Fazendo uma comparação com o quadro vencedor, poderíamos dizer que o ninho do pássaro que repousava serenamente com seus filhotes, representa a nossa consciência.

A consciência é um refúgio seguro, quando nada tem que nos reprove. E também pode acontecer o contrário: tudo à volta pode estar tranqüilo e nossa consciência arder em chamas.

A consciência, portanto, é um tribunal implacável, do qual não conseguiremos fugir, porque está em nós.
É ela que nos dará possibilidades de permanecer em harmonia íntima, mesmo que tudo à volta ameace desmoronar, ou acuse sinais de perigo solicitando correção.

Sendo assim, concluiremos que a paz não será implantada por decretos nem por ordens exteriores, mas será conquista individual de cada criatura, portas à dentro da sua intimidade”.

Excelente Terça-feira
Abraços       8-)

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

O autoritarismo é retrógrado, mas está vivo e ocupa os mais altos postos. É o coronelismo atuante com linguagem moderna. E o coronelismo nunca ajudou pessoas, mas antes escravizou e as escraviza. E esta nunca foi a verdadeira missão dos homens de bem e nem é a política de Deus. Não seja conivente.

"Porque os que servirem bem como diáconos, adquirirão para si uma boa posição e muita confiança na fé que há em Cristo Jesus. (1 Timóteo 3:13)"
