10 SEC READ: Moses (ENG, PORT, ESP, FRA)

by Paulo Coelho on May 7, 2010

Moses parts the waters

“Sometimes we get used to what we see in the movies, and end up forgetting the true story,” a friend said to me once while we were looking at the port of Miami, “Do you remember the Ten Commandments?”
Of course I remembered. Moses, played by Charlton Heston, at one point he raises his wand and with that action the waters were divided and the Jewish people walked through it.
“In the Bible it is different,” said my friend. “In the Bible, God orders Moses to do this by saying, ‘the children of Israel are to go forward,’ and only after they start walking does Moses raise his wand to part the Red Sea.

“Courage in the path is what makes the path manifests itself.”

Moisés divide as águas

“Às vezes a gente se acostuma com o que vê nos filmes, e termina esquecendo a verdadeira história”, diz um amigo, enquanto olhamos juntos o porto de Miami. “Lembra-se dos “Dez Mandamentos? “
Claro que me lembro. Moisés – Charton Heston – em determinado momento levanta seu bastão, as águas se dividem, e o povo hebreu atravessa a grande água.
“Na Bíblia é diferente”. Comenta meu amigo. “Ali, Deus ordena a Moisés: “diz aos filhos de Israel que marchem”. E só depois que começam a andar é que Moisés levanta o bastão, e o Mar Vermelho se abre”.

“Só a coragem no caminho faz com que o caminho se manifeste”.

Moisés separa las aguas

-A veces la gente se acostumbra a lo que ve en las películas, y termina olvidándose de la verdadera historia -dice un amigo, mientras observamos juntos el puerto de Miami -. ¿Te acuerdas de “Los diez mandamientos”?
-Claro que me acuerdo. Moisés (Charlton Heston) en un momento dado levanta su bastón, las aguas se separan, y el pueblo hebreo pasa a través de la gran masa de agua.
-En la Biblia no ocurre eso – comenta mi amigo – Allí Dios le ordena a Moisés: “Diles a los hijos de Israel que caminen” y sólo después de haber comenzado todos a andar, Moisés levanta el bastón y el Mar Rojo se abre.

»Sólo la valentía durante el camino hace que el camino se manifieste.”

Moïse partage les eaux

« On s’habitue parfois à ce que l’on voit dans les films, et l’on finit par oublier la vraie histoire », dit un ami, tandis que nous regardons ensemble le port de Miami. « Te souviens-tu des Dix Commandements ? »
Bien sûr, je m’en souviens. Moïse – Charlton Heston – à un certain moment lève son bâton, les eaux se fendent, et le peuple hébreu traverse la mer.
« Dans la Bible, c’est différent », remarque mon ami. « Là, Dieu ordonne à Moïse : “Dis aux fils d’Israël de se mettre en marche.” Ce n’est qu’après qu’ils ont commencé à marcher que Moïse lève son bâton et la mer Rouge s’écarte.

« Seul le courage sur le chemin permet que le chemin se manifeste. »

Qrido Guerreiro

Alguns de seus textos q mais gosto são textos sobre a Bíblia, como esse, q amo e já mandei pra muita gente por e-mail.

Ás vezes vc divide conosco e-mails interessantes q recebe, venho dividir uma frase q recebi com vc alguns q recebi, gostei mto, lembrei de vc:

“Nunca tenha medo de tentar algo novo. Lembre-se que um amador solitário construiu a Arca. E o Titanic foi construído por profissionais.” (não sei o autor)

E esse, é longo mas bem interessante, espero que goste.
Tem algumas variações, mas nenhum com autoria.

“Da próxima vez que você sentir que DEUS não pode usá-lo, lembre-sw que :
Noé era um bêbado, Abraão era velho demais
, Isaque era medroso, Jacó era mentiroso, Léia era feia,
José era um escravo, Moisés era gago e incapaz de falar em público, Gideão teve dúvidas que Deus o teria escolhido,
Sansão tinha cabelos compridos e era adúltero, Jeremias e Timóteo eram jovens demais, Davi cometeu adultério e um assassinato, Elias era suicida, Isaías pregava nu, Jonas fugiu de Deus, Raabe era uma prostituta, Jó foi a falência e perdeu a saúde, João Batista era uma figura excêntrica e comia insetos, Maria Madalena foi possuída por 7 demônios, Noemi era uma viúva desamparada, Paulo era fanático, religioso demais, Pedro negou Cristo, os discípulos adormeceram enquanto oravam, Marta era agitadíssima, a mulher samaritana era divorciada muitas vezes, Zaqueu era pequeno, Timóteo tinha uma úlcera… E
Lázaro ESTAVA MORTO!”

Deus te ilumine

“Courage in the path is what makes the path manifests itself.”

True..For those who are fearless and have enough wisdom coupled with strong desire in their heart.

No matter what is at the end of the path..Having courageously persued the path is reward enough!

This woman had visions and could communicate with the Virgin Mary. Mary told this woman that she would reveal to her 10 secrets but she left lots of beautiful messages to this woman and to the believers.
Listen to what she says about FAITH.

The answer to everything is love.

The Bee Box

In this small box, my love,
you’ll not find a ring, but instead,
a brave little bee.
He’ll be dead by morn,
having given his life defending his flowers
against me.
I felt his sting while picking the small,
purple pansies growing wild along the roadside,
in hopes of an afternoon bouquet for you.
And I grieved the sting, more for him than me,
knowing full well the price he paid for my small pain.
And I allowed him his victory,
leaving his flowers as a memory,
and brought you instead this brave little bee,
who proves there is love even in the smallest of things.
- Lowell Parker

“Without faith its impossible to please God”. Faith is a very important ingredient in order to move the “Hand of God”….

An interesting point brought forth in the story is that faith has a habit of manifesting particularly strongly in an individual or group when they are pressed tightly into a corner. Trials, perceived or real, have a way of awakening this. I have observed this personally and in others and have learned that to have that same intense expression of faith in daily, mundane life leads to magical occurrences.

As usual delighting Sir.. yes it is always reliance which gives strength to face any kind of problems unless one should convince to those hearts to sieze it…
