João 11:20-21

Uma das partes mais difíceis de cuidar de alguém que você ama ou orar por sua cura é sentir que Deus parou de responder as suas orações. Por que Aquele que disse que estaria por perto no vale da sombra da morte, parece estar tão longe?

A life poured out. We see an example of this in Mary who anointed Jesus (John 12:1-8). In these next 5 days, let us do as Mary did and smash the alabaster jar, so we may be overcome by the fragrance of Jesus.

Death affects us all but how do we cope when we lose a loved one? This plan provides hope and comfort in the midst of grief.

Often we feel as if we’re not doing enough. Then we feel guilty because we’re supposed to be having quiet times with God too—but when we try to slow down, our hearts and minds are still busy. The story of Mary and Martha offers us guidance as well as grace in this tension. It’s a story of two sisters. It’s a story for each of us.
