7 Some trust, in themselves,
in what they have
or what they think that they can do,
but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God,
not in what we have,
neither in out own power.

8 The others are bowed down and fallen,
but we, even if we fall sometimes,
we are risen and stand upright,
by God’s help and mercy.

adaptation after Psalm 20:7-8

1 God, who gets invited to dinner at your place?
How do we get on your guest list?

2 "Walk straight,
act right,
tell the truth.

3-4 "Don’t hurt your friend,
don’t blame your neighbor;
despise the despicable.

5 "Keep your word even when it costs you,
make an honest living,
never take a bribe.

"You’ll never get
blacklisted
if you live like this."

Psalm 15

Tu poti TOTUL in Hristos

Poate iti este frica si te gandesti adesea ca nu vei putea birui, ca nu esti destul de bun ca sa fii crestin, ca nu ai fi rapit daca Isus ar veni azi. Te rog sa te intaresti si sa-ti amintesti: noi nu avem nici o putere si atunci cand credem ca avem, ne mandrim si cadem, facem fapte murdare, din firea pamanteasca . Priveste la Domnul Isus clipa de clipa. Lasa-L sa vorbeasca prin gura ta, sa caute pe cei pierduti, pe cei intristati si cazuti. Lasa-L sa lucreze si stai in umilinta si minuneaza-te de felul in care te poate folosi . Da, pe tine… tu esti special in ochii Lui, tu ai pret, tu poti TOTUL in Hristos ! Tu ai TOTUL deplin in El! Fa din EL pasiunea vietii tale si vei fi cel mai fericit din lume aici si in vesnicii!

5 Offer just and right sacrifices;
trust (lean on and be confident) in the Lord.

6 Many say,
Oh, that we might see some good!
But I say
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.

7 You have put more joy and rejoicing in my heart
than [they know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

Psalm 4:5-8

Continua sa te increzi in Dumnezeu

Oricat de dificile ar parea lucrurile, trebuie sa ramai mereu deasupra situatiei! Continua sa te increzi in Dumnezeu . Stai treaz si roaga-te toata noaptea daca trebuie, dar nu te da batut. Continua sa te bazezi pe Cuvant . Poate visul tau nu a luat viata in totalitate, dar a inceput sa se incalzeasca. Lucrurile incep sa se imbunatateasca. Dumnezeu misca lucrurile. Raspunsul asteptat de tine este pe drum; nu te da batut inainte sa-l primesti!

The Everlasting Bread of Life

27 "Don’t waste your energy striving
for perishable food like that.
Work for the food that sticks with you,
food that nourishes your lasting life,
food the Son of Man provides.
He and what He does are guaranteed
by God the Father to last.
"

28 To that they said,
"Well, what do we do then to get in on God’s works?"

29 Jesus said,
"Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent.
That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works."

30-31 They waffled:
"Why don’t you give us a clue about who you are,
just a hint of what’s going on?
When we see what’s up, we’ll commit ourselves.
Show us what you can do.
Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert.
It says so in the Scriptures:
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’"

32-33 Jesus responded,
"The real significance of that Scripture
is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven
but that my Father is right now
offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.
The Bread of God came down out of heaven
and is giving life to the world
."

34 They jumped at that:
"Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"

35-38 Jesus said,
"I am the Bread of Life.
The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action,
you don’t really believe me.
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me.
And once that person is with me,
I hold on and don’t let go.
I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim
but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me
.

39-40 "This, in a nutshell, is that will:
that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed
—not a single detail missed—
and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
This is what my Father wants:
that anyone who sees the Son
and trusts who he is
and what he does
and then aligns with him
will enter real life, eternal life.
My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time
."

John 6:27-40

Photos Of Me Taken by Denisa After Her Last Exam

On Saturday evening I met with Denisa, after her last exam. She had her last exam. That is great. I am very happy for her. God loves her very much and helped Denisa to finish university. If you didn’t know, she studied computer science. In a few days Denisa will have the graduation ceremony.

Here are some photos we took to the other, in front of the Gr. T. Popa Medicine University of Iasi.

A Life Changing Encounter

I’ve just read about a ordinarily woman that had a encounter that changed her whole life . She was doing something ordinary in an ordinary day , like she did in all the other days.

Like in any other day she went out of her town to get some water. In that times and place people didn’t have current water. Each day, the women had to go to the the wheel, that was outside the town, to take water for the entire day. They were much more eco-friendly in that times. For a family 20 liters was enough, except the animals, that were brought directly to the water.

So, we see the woman going to take water, in the same manner as she always did , like in any other day. But something is different today . There, at the wheel, she sees a man . This man had different clothes than they used to wear in that area – Samaria. Continue reading A Life Changing Encounter
