Rays of Faith

We will never have enough.
We will never have enough faith, but every day we increase it, because faith can grow more and more, until the heaven and the vision becomes, in contemplation of Reality, of God himself, so there is no longer will require faith.
But without faith you can not please God without faith and you can not live happily in this world, and even sometimes can not even simply living, then you must not only grow in faith, but we must learn to take care because she is like a delicate little plant can be dried, and may suffer the weather, and if you do not know we care and exposed to frost and storms and winds, then we lose.
There are storms and winds that come with life. The difficulties, problems and misfortunes, and they can not avoid, and what we should do is take these things to grow in faith and trust in God and his goodness.
Knowing that God exists and that is good, and that if you allow something in our lives is for our sake, but for now we do not understand.
But what we do is we take care of bad readings, the influences of people without faith, that is around us and also abound in the media, especially television and film. Because these are the storms and winds that we must be careful because they can kill our faith.
Take care of our faith, because it is a priceless treasure and a gift from God, but also a free response of man to God. And without faith life becomes hopeless.
The world is bad because faith is dying more and more, and atheism is gaining ground. So over time we will see things more terrible and abhorrent because the man without faith is becoming more a demon.

Real friends...

Real friends

Why is it important to have real friends?
There are questions so easy that sometimes do not know how
answer, because I lack words. Or maybe I left over.

One day I came across the sea, and were
chatting. I asked him about my doubts, but he
followed his own, coming and going.

When I left him to return to daily life,
the echoes of our meeting echoed in my heart.
I turned to where he was, and his words were recorded in me:

"I need to be transparent,
I said, because I want you enjoy my background.
The wonders that is within me,
are for you, so when you see the trash,
Cover me, I hide, not me.

I need the rocks,
I hit them, I want you back
where I come from, but different, with more force, the better.
Then my water is ponded much longer
and go further.

And what about the wind, seems not to notice, but it's there.
It is the caress of my waters, which makes me different
every day even though my water always reach the same place.
The breeze makes me feel each moment as an opportunity
New, every one of my little ripples you see in the distance,
is the smile of feeling close.

Finally there is the beach.
Now I am caress, I take little memories
and she also makes the holes to stay with some
part of me, and we mix every time I fall in it,
seems to want to catch me there, but I always loose ...
Each follow our roads
and while she seems still, I get along
some of the sand over the world.

Look at the horizon there always awaits you
a new day, a new friend, new life ... "
