Pensiero puzzolente refers to the negative or disturbing thoughts that torment us, Soprattutto quando lo siamo ALT (Hingrato, UNarrabbiato, lsolo o THo letto). We will be looking at our distorted view of self. We will learn to discern the truth from the lies we have believed all of our lives. Our goal is to equip you so you can have victory in every area of your life.

Isaia 43:18–19

Salmo 62: 6–8
“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.”

Salmo 27:10
When my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take care of me.

John 8:32
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

romani 5:9
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

I was the oldest of three and came from a strict second-generation, Italian-American family. My father and his two brothers and sister ran a family-owned construction company started by my grandfather.

My grandfather had a drinking problem. And my dad acted like an alcoholic even though he did not drink. I refer to his behavior as a “rageaholic.” He worked extremely long hours and was dealing with a lot of stress and family drama. He was not able to communicate in a healthy manner without becoming angry and raising his voice. He had a very short fuse. Così, when he was home, I would literally want to run and hide.

My mom tried her best to control our home environment as not to cause my dad any stress. We had to be very quiet and obedient when he was home. The slightest thing could set him off. When my dad was at work, my mom had her own way of dealing with the chaos in our home. She yelled a lot too. It wasn’t a very calm or peaceful environment. But I believe they did the best they could. They were preoccupied with putting out fires that my sister and brother were starting. It was easy for me to hide in the shadows.

As a young child, how was I supposed to get the love and attention I needed? After the “good, quiet one” persona was not working anymore, I started sneaking Scotch whiskey from my parents’ liquor cabinet at 12 Anni. Now I was really hiding because of all of my secrets, which now were piling up, and it became even more difficult to keep up my façade. By 13, I was getting high and doing other drugs. At 16, I was having sex; then the unthinkable, il mio aborto a 21. My life was a disaster, one poor decision after another led me down a very dark path. I was very alone in this pit even though I had friends; no one really knew what I was suffering with because I wore the perfect mask. I was right where the evil one wanted me. Isolated, alone, and hiding in my secrets.

Now in my early 30’s after many years of destructive choices, unhealthy copying mechanisms and addictions, my self-loathing was at an all-time high. My depression would last for weeks at a time, and it was preventing me from functioning normally, and all the pain I had been stuffing all my life was coming out sideways. I had no control over it. I was like a walking volcano. I literally just wanted to end this torment of a life. But God gave me two children, and I wasn’t going to leave them without a mom. Così, I decided I needed to do something different because what I was doing was not working. I was tired of putting my mask on every day and pretending.

I felt I was not worthy to be loved. In fact, I thought I deserved to be emotionally abused by others because of my sin. I did not see myself as a person of value to anyone, not even to God. This destructive pattern would continue until I was 34, when by the grace of God, I heard the gospel and within 4 weeks got saved and asked Jesus to forgive my sins and be my Lord and Savior. The most beautiful and memorable day of my life is February 6, 1994, when I became born-again.

Even after my salvation, I felt I had to work for love and approval from God and especially from others in leadership at Church. My people-pleasing was consuming my life, and God showed me that this is idolatry, that anything that I put above Him is a sin.

Over the past 20 anni, God has slowly been showing me my character defects and areas of sin, my codependency, people-pleasing, and lack of clear boundaries and how I was enabling unhealthy behavior. I didn’t love or respect myself so how could I expect others to. I allowed people to walk all over me, to manipulate and control me, but slowly over time, I started putting up boundaries and using my voice.

God helped me to see myself through His eyes of love, care, and compassion. Back in 2015 when struggling with rejection, I wrote out these words of affirmation that I read out loud to myself every day: I am worthy, I am loved, I belong, Sono accettato, I am adopted, I am confident and competent, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, I am a child of God, I am victorious in Christ, just to name a few. This is my Spiritual Armor; I put this on every morning to protect myself from the fiery darts of the enemy. Our battle is won and lost in our minds. What we believe about ourselves and about God matters. God’s word is truth, and the truth will make you free.

I hope I never take for granted the miracle that took place in my life 31 years ago, when I received the gift of salvation through the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for me.

QUESTIONS TO TAKE TO HEART:

  1. How has your distorted view of yourself opened you up to all kinds of abuse and sin as a way to cope with your pain?
  2. How did you see yourself?
  3. Who does God say you are? Give examples of Biblical truth.
  4. What do you do to put your Spiritual Armor on daily to protect yourself from the enemy?
  5. Come possiamo pregare per te?

Pensiero puzzolente: Ansia

Pensiero puzzolente: Ansia

Pensiero puzzolente: Ansia

di Toni Weisz/Pensiero puzzolente

Scritture: Filippesi 4:6-7, Matteo 6:25-26, 31 E 33, Salmo 121:2 e Matteo 10:31

Filippesi 4:6-7
Non essere ansioso per niente, ma in ogni cosa con la preghiera e la supplica (chiedendo umilmente) with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Matteo 6:25-26, 31, E 33
“Perciò ti dico, non preoccuparti per la tua vita, cosa mangerete o cosa berrete; né del tuo corpo, cosa indosserai. La tua vita non vale più del cibo e il corpo più del vestito? Guarda gli uccelli del cielo, poiché non seminano né mietono né raccolgono nei granai; eppure il tuo Padre celeste li nutre. Non vali più di loro? “Therefore, do not worry, detto, «Cosa mangeremo?' o 'Cosa berremo?' o 'Cosa indosseremo?’ For after all these things the gentiles seek. Perché il tuo Padre celeste sa che hai bisogno di tutte queste cose. Ma cercate prima il regno di Dio e la sua giustizia e tutte queste cose vi saranno sopraggiunte».

Salmo 121:2
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

 

When I was a young child, I worried about everything. When I left a homework assignment at home accidentally, I went into a panic. What is my teacher going to think or say to me?

Frantically, I would call my mom, “Can you please bring my assignment to school?”

She said to me, “You are such a worry wart.”

I was so anxious that my perfect mask would be exposed, that people might see the real me, an insecure people-pleaser, seeking approval from others so I could feel good about myself. I so desperately needed to feel like I belonged, that I was a person of value. I was continually striving for perfection to receive love and accolades from others. But that didn’t work; it only left me feeling alone and depleted.

As an adult, I became anxious when I negatively projected into the future. When I did this, I felt weak, senza speranza, e scoraggiato. My head and eyes were cast down, and I felt like giving up. But when I recognized I was looking inward, then I reminded myself, “My help comes from the Lord,” (Salmo 121:2) and I looked up to heaven.

God has promised us in His Word that He will meet all of our needs. “Are you not of more value than many sparrows?” Matthew 10:31

Ma sfortunatamente, I did not trust Him. I made some very bad decisions because I did not trust Him with my future, my life, my marriage, or my children. I had to be in control, and relinquishing that control was a scary thing for me.

Pensavo di poter ridurre al minimo la mia ansia cercando di controllare tutti e tutto. But I realized that was impossible to do, and it made me very frustrated and emotionally drained. I used to jump in to fix, rescue, and save others because I became anxious about all the what ifs.

I realized I cannot save, rescue, or fix anyone; only God can. I was sinning against God by not trusting Him in every area of my life. I had to believe He is a good God and He can take care of me and my family.

Ricordo nel mio diario, Dio me lo dice, “Get out of My way; you are preventing Me from working in your family.” IN ALL CAPS, PURE. Dio non era contento di me. Dio mi ha mostrato che la mia mancanza di fiducia in Lui era un peccato e mettere gli altri davanti a Lui era un idolo. He showed me that He was not like my earthly parents; He was kind and gentle, loving, caring, and full of compassion. I repented and turned away from my sin of unbelief and turned to God.

I no longer struggle with feeling anxious. I have learned to pray and bring all my concerns to Him. I believe only He can provide for all my needs. I am finally free of that sick thinking and character defect that kept me stuck and fretting for so many decades.

Grazie, Signore, for the gift of your presence in my life, for the Holy Spirit to remind me that I am Yours!!! Thank you that I am not alone; You are always with me.

Domande da prendere a cuore:

  1. Did you struggle with anxiety? What kinds of things would make you anxious?
  2. Are you still struggling with anxiety?
  3. What are some things you do to help you overcome your anxiety?
  4. Come possiamo pregare per te?

Pensiero puzzolente: Motivazione: Giustificare il mio peccato

Pensiero puzzolente: Motivazione: Giustificare il mio peccato

Pensiero puzzolente: Motivazione: Giustificare il mio peccato

Genesi 3: 8-13 and Proverbs 11:14B

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Stinking Thinking si riferisce ai pensieri negativi che ci tormentano soprattutto quando siamo HALT: Affamato, Arrabbiato, Solo o stanco; pensieri come una visione distorta di Dio e di sé, pensare negativo, giustificazione, paura, e ansia. Affronteremo ciascuno di questi argomenti in modo da poter discernere tra le bugie in cui abbiamo creduto nel corso degli anni e sostituirle con la verità di Dio. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di equipaggiarti in modo che tu possa avere la vittoria in queste aree.

I define justification, more specifically justifying sin, as the belief that I am making a right or reasonable decision, when in fact the opposite is true. I have heard almost every excuse to justify a woman’s choice for an abortion; I had several myself. I allowed the enemy to isolate me and to lie to me, just like he did to Adam and Eve when they ate the forbidden fruit and sinned against God. As a result of my sin, I rushed to make my decision and not ask for help or discuss it with anyone. It’s the one thing we as woman don’t ask for help with, why is that? We talk to our friends or family about other decisions we make, but why not this one? I believe the enemy immediately swoops in and starts flooding our minds with all kinds of chaos, coupled with lies, paura, e ansia. This combination is overwhelming to our minds and we scramble to stop the noise in our heads so we can return to normal. I did not have my abortion until my second trimester, but I had my mind made up immediately I was going to have an abortion. I had to wait months to have my procedure because I didn’t follow protocol and ate before my first scheduled abortion so I had to reschedule. I had to make 2 abortion appointments! Perhaps God was giving me a way to escape, but I wasn’t seeking His counsel. Instead I felt justified in my decision to move forward with the abortion.

The reasons I used to justify my abortion were the following: I believed the lie that my baby would be severely deformed because I was doing heavy drugs, drinking excessively, and smoking 2-3 packs of cigarettes per day. I was still in college in Ohio with no job and I thought I can’t have a child now! I believed the father of the child would leave me to raise the child on my own. But the biggest reason was that I was afraid to tell my parents. I regret that I did not have the courage to admit to my parents that I made a mistake. I never gave them an opportunity to have a say in my decision because I took matters into my own hands. My fear and pride prevented me from telling the truth, I wish I would have told them, because I could have my 40-year-old son with me today. But I cannot go back and change my past, all I can do is learn from it and understand why this broken frightened woman could not tell her parents the truth. I remember when after watching the movie, “Unplanned”, I was at my laundry room sink and the Holy Spirit whispered to my heart, “Every child in the womb is mine,” tears filled my eyes and I replied, “I know Lord and I robbed you of the baby in my womb and I am so sorry.”

Sin is never justified. Looking back at our first parents, Adam and Eve. We see they pointed their finger at someone else to justify their sin before God. The exchange is quite interesting and we use the same tactics today. In Genesis 3, after Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, God is calling to them, “Where are you?” God called Adam by his name wanting him to confess his sin but instead he justified his sin and accused the woman who God gave him, and Eve likewise accusing the serpent. Instead of taking responsibility for their sins, they blamed someone else. Their pride prevented them from humbling themselves before God and repenting of their sin. My pride prevented me from asking my parents and God for help in my abortion decision. Instead I listened to the devil, and I suffered for years as a result of my decision.

We are here to help you make life affirming God glorifying decisions in your lives. Proverbi 11:14B, “In the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Please reach out if you are struggling with making good decisions.

May I ask you a few questions?

What were your reasons for your abortion(S), that at the time you felt were justified?

How do you see your decision-making process now?

What were the lies you believed?

What is the truth that God has shown you?

 

benedizioni,

Toni

Pensiero puzzolente: Pensieri negativi

Pensiero puzzolente: Pensieri negativi

Pensiero puzzolente: Pensieri negativi

di Toni Weisz/Pensiero puzzolente

Scritture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and Philippians 4:8-9

Il pensiero puzzolente si riferisce ai pensieri negativi che ci tormentano soprattutto quando lo siamo ALT (Hingrato, UNarrabbiato, lsolo o THo letto) this causes us to have a distorted view of God, self, pensare negativo, giustificazione, paura, e ansia. Affronteremo ciascuno di questi argomenti in modo da poter discernere tra le bugie in cui abbiamo creduto nel corso degli anni e sostituirle con la verità di Dio. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di equipaggiarti in modo che tu possa avere la vittoria in queste aree.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God for pulling down of strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God, brining every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

Filippesi 4:8-9 NKJV
“Finally, brethren whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received, and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with.”

All of us know a person who can suck all the air out of a room because every word that comes out of their mouth is negative. Have you ever experienced that before? It is emotionally draining to be in the company of a negative person for a long period of time before we too are dragged down into the pit with them. Are you plagued with negative thoughts?

The enemy is continually trying to trip us up because his goal is to get us to focus on the negative things instead of all the things we should be thankful for. Do you have a gratitude list? If you don’t, I suggest you do one today, and write down all the things you are thankful for. When you feel a negative thought coming on, just get out your list and remind yourself that God is still on the throne and He is in control and He is aware of everything that is going on in the world. He uses all of it for His purpose and plans in all of our lives. We must remember God is good all the time and He is love; that is His character. He never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The battlefield truly is the mind. That is where spiritual warfare starts, and that’s where we have a choice to take it on or not. Right now, there is hatred and ethnic cleansing in certain parts of the world, wars and devastation due to earthquakes, fires, mud slides. Many are fearful, in despair, and feeling hopeless. But as believers, we need to be seeking the Lord even more now so we have His perspective on this. What are you focusing on now? Do you feel peaceful and hopeful or depressed and hopeless?

I have a list of Biblical truths that I read over every morning to remind myself that I am adopted and loved by God. This is how I put my armor on to protect myself from the fiery darts of the enemy.

Who I am in Christ, to Combat Rejection

I am worthy.
I am loved.
Sono accettato.
I am adopted.
I am confident and competent.
I am a child of God.
I have the Holy Spirit within me.
I am victorious in Christ.
I am forgiven of all my sins and cleansed from all my unrighteousness.
I have a home in heaven.
Nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus, my Lord.
I am valued by God.
I am His precious child.

I will fear no evil!

When I read this every morning, it protects my mind and my heart from the lies and negative thoughts that the enemy wants me to focus on. When I don’t read my list on a daily basis, I am vulnerable to the enemy’s devices; I am impatient, unkind, self-righteous, judgmental, and easily frustrated.

Signore, You are showing me that today, in fact, I must make time with You each morning; You are my priority. Reading Your Word daily is food for my soul. Praying is a time for me to hear from You and to talk to You. Journaling is a time when I go even deeper with You, seeking Your wisdom and wanting so much to hear from You to lead and guide me in my life and in all I do because I want my life to be pleasing to You, and I want You to be glorified through it. Grazie, Signore, for reminding me and convicting me of that today.

Father in heaven, I pray for each woman reading this blog. I pray they will seek You with their whole heart. Show them how much You love them in a very real and tangible way. Protect them from the lies and negative thoughts of the enemy, and help them to focus on the things that are true, honest, just, puro, lovely, and of good report. Renew their minds daily as they read Your Word. Heal them and bind up their wounds as only You can, for You only are their Mighty Counselor and Great Physician. Meet them where they are and lead them by Your righteous right hand. Forgive all of their sins and heal them, Signore. Thank you for Your love, mercy, grace, and compassion upon them. We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Domande da prendere a cuore:

  1. Do you struggle with negative thoughts?
  2. How often are you plagued with these thoughts?
  3. Is there a person or situation that causes you to start thinking negatively?
  4. What have you done to help protect yourself from this kind of negative thinking?
  5. Come possiamo pregare per te?

Pensiero puzzolente: La mia visione distorta di Dio

Pensiero puzzolente: La mia visione distorta di Dio

Pensiero puzzolente: La mia visione distorta di Dio

di Toni Weisz/Pensiero puzzolente

Scritture: Proverbi 23:7un, romani 2:4D, 1 Corinthians 6:20, John 3:16, 8:44, 1 John 4:8, e Geremia 29:11

Il pensiero puzzolente si riferisce ai pensieri negativi che ci tormentano, Soprattutto quando lo siamo ALT (Hingrato, UNarrabbiato, lsolo o THo letto) o avere pensieri come una visione distorta di Dio e di sé, pensare negativo, giustificazione, paura, e ansia. Affronteremo ciascuno di questi argomenti in modo da poter discernere tra le bugie in cui abbiamo creduto nel corso degli anni e sostituirle con la verità di Dio. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di equipaggiarti in modo che tu possa avere la vittoria in queste aree.

Primo, la parola di Dio dice in Proverbi 23:7un, “Perché come pensa nel suo cuore, Così è lui. " Ciò che pensiamo di noi stessi determina il modo in cui ci vediamo, Dio, e altri, e come rispondiamo alle cose. Se ci consideriamo figli di Dio, amato, amato e adottato nella famiglia di Dio, vedremo che siamo davvero speciali, riservato da Dio alle opere buone. Avremo una visione più positiva del mondo. Se sentiamo di non essere amabili a causa dei nostri peccati passati, e non una persona di valore, ci sentiremo depressi, solitario, e senza speranza. Riesci a vedere che ciò che pensiamo determina come ci sentiamo?

La mia prima visione distorta di Dio è iniziata quando ero un bambino molto piccolo intorno a sei o sette anni. Vedevo Dio come un Dio arrabbiato e inavvicinabile. Mi è stato detto da bambino che se avessi fatto qualcosa di sbagliato Dio mi avrebbe punito, Aspettavo costantemente che il martello mi cadesse in testa ogni volta che facevo qualcosa di sbagliato. La chiesa a cui ho frequentato era vecchia e aveva bellissime vetrate di vetrate, ma dentro era buio, Freddo, e la gente parlava in latino. Non ho visto l'amore di Dio lì. Tutto quello che ho visto erano regole severe e dure punizioni per chi disobbediva. Ho visto gli studenti picchiarsi regolarmente con i righelli. Questo mi ha costretto a nascondermi di nuovo, come ho fatto a casa, quando mio padre aveva uno dei suoi scoppi di rabbia.

È la bontà di Dio che porta al pentimento (Rif. romani 2:4D). Un metodo per modificare il comportamento è attraverso la paura del giudizio; l'altro è attraverso l'amore. Dio vuole che gli obbediamo per amore e non per paura. Se ami qualcuno e lui ti ama, vuoi trascorrere del tempo con questa persona, ma quando pensi a qualcuno come a una persona dura, questa non è qualcuno con cui ti senti sicuro e a tuo agio. Vedi la differenza?? Dio è amore, e la Sua grazia è immeritata. A causa di ciò che Gesù ha fatto per noi sulla croce, Il minimo che possiamo fare è servirlo e obbedire alla sua parola. Siamo stati acquistati con un prezzo (Rif. 1 Corinthians 6:20); Il prezioso sangue di Gesù ha pagato la pena per i nostri peccati e i peccati di tutto il mondo.

Non vedevo l'amore di Dio evidente nella mia vecchia chiesa. Non è stato fino a quando non lo sono stato 34, quando frequentavo una piccola chiesa battista nel New Jersey, che ho sentito il Vangelo per la prima volta. L'edificio era molto semplice, nessuna vetrata. C'era una croce davanti al punto in cui stava il predicatore e un pianoforte. Ma una cosa che ho visto manifestata è stato l’amore di Dio che avevano queste persone. Questo è ciò che mi ha portato a Gesù. Era la predicazione della Parola di Dio attraverso la Bibbia e l'amore di Dio nelle parole, nelle azioni e nei volti delle persone che frequentavano quella piccola chiesa.

John 3:16 "Per Dio ha così amato il mondo che ha dato il suo unico figlio generato ..." Ci ha amato così tanto che ha dato suo Figlio a morire per te e per me; questa è un'immagine dell'amore sacrificale. Grazie, Gesù, per essere morto volontariamente sulla croce per noi, So che è stato il tuo amore per il mondo a tenerti su quella croce.

Credo che il nemico sia all’opera per distorcere la nostra visione di Dio, per farci dubitare che Egli ci ami veramente e si prenda cura di noi. Guarda Eva in giardino, il serpente (Satana), l'ingannatore e il padre della menzogna, cercando di piantare semi di dubbio nella mente di Eva riguardo al fatto se ci si possa fidare della Parola di Dio. Posso immaginare che stesse pensando, “Dio mi sta trattenendo qualcosa di buono. Non mi ama davvero perché se lo facesse, Mi avrebbe dato tutto quello che voglio. " Adamo ed Eva non sapevano cosa fosse meglio per loro, ed è lo stesso con noi; non sappiamo nemmeno cosa sia meglio per noi. Dio ci ha detto di non fare sesso prima del matrimonio. Ci stava trattenendo?? NO, in realtà ci stava proteggendo, soprattutto quelli di noi che vorrebbero abortire i nostri bambini. Stava cercando di proteggere noi e i nostri bambini dalla morte fisica, ed emotivo, mentale, e tormento spirituale e schiavitù al malvagio.

Mi resi conto che era per amore che Dio non voleva che facessi sesso al di fuori del matrimonio, perché voleva proteggermi. Se solo mi fossi fidato di Dio e lo invitassi nel mio processo decisionale e credeva che avrebbe provveduto a me e al mio bambino, allora forse avrei avuto il coraggio di scegliere la vita per il mio bambino. Invece, La mia visione distorta di Dio mi ha fatto paura di avvicinarmi con i miei bisogni, che era il piano del nemico. Se il nemico può farci prendere dal panico e non cercare la saggezza di Dio, disposizione, e protezione, allora ha vinto la battaglia.

Per voi preziosi che sono stati abusati, abbandonato, e respinto dalla famiglia, Guardiani, e amici - quelli che avrebbero dovuto proteggere e provvedere a te—Dio ha visto e gli ha spezzato il cuore. Questa paura profonda associata alle figure di autorità ci fa dubitare che Dio è un buon padre che ci ama. Associamo le caratteristiche di questi individui a Dio. Pensiamo che debba essere violento e rifiuterà e ci abbandonerà anche. Questa è una bugia dal malvagio. Dio è amore. L'amore è il suo personaggio. Non sperimenteremo mai amore perfetto se non attraverso Gesù, Dio Padre, e lo Spirito Santo. Il malvagio voleva che credessimo a queste bugie su Dio in modo da poter distruggere le nostre vite. E lo ha fatto, per molti anni, Ma poi Dio!!! Dio aveva un piano diverso per le nostre vite, uno che è bello darci una speranza e un futuro.

Domande da prendere a cuore:

  1. Quali erano le tue viste distorte di Dio da bambino, adolescente, e giovane adulto? Com'era?
  2. Come lo vedi adesso??
  3. Come possiamo pregare per te?

Prego che questo argomento sia stato utile per te vedere come quello malvagio attraverso il suo inganno e le bugie non volevano che conoscessimo Dio. Ma Dio con il suo grande amore e misericordia verso di noi, ci ha inseguito e ci ha attirato da solo. È un rifugio per gli oppressi. Lega i cuore spezzati e guarisce tutte le nostre ferite.
