Humbleness

"...with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love..."

Ephesians 4:2


There are many times that we need patience with others, that is, either by their imposition or simply purely inconvenience. We can only really endure that when we have tasted God's own patience.

Humble

"Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion."

Romans 12:16

Pride comes before ruins, but those humbleness before honor. Those who want to be great before God, consider yourselves inferior to others.

Lowliness

"With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love..."

Ephesians 4:2


There are many times that we need patience with our neighbor, be it by imposition, or by inconvenience. We can only really endure it because we've tasted the Celestial virtue.

Fear

"OThe LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalms 27:1

Those who have the Lord as their Partner and Guide do not fear evil; they're strong and unbeatable.

The search

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you... E Ele vos guiará"

Acts 1:8

The divine blessings don't happen coincidently, nor by personal merits, less even by religious practices. In order to take possession of them, you've got to seek them with all your strength, with all your heart and understanding. And that's how faith is manifested. God has no choice but to answer you.

Joy

"A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken."

Proverbs 15:13


But how do you maintain a happy heart in such a cruel world? Only where the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ is present. How can you receive Him? Tomorrow's post will let you know how...

Envy

"A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones. "

Proverbs 14:30


When one lives by faith, one's eyes are like God's eyes: they want the best for others. On the other hand, when there's envy, there are evil eyes, that consequently mean the person's interior is in darkness. There's an evil spirit in dominion of this person's life and he or she certainly needs deliverance.
