I surrender

God, your ways are mysterious, absurd, crazy.... Who has ever known your heart? You hold the universe! You created everything there is! You are the past, the present and the future! That's absolutely unimaginable! indescribable! A GOD who made himself flesh so that we could be similar to him, by faith, by faith, BY FAITH!!!!!!! Not by trying to measure up, we'll never measure up to the Son of the Man, the 10 Commandments served just to show us that, that we'll never be able to meet God's standards. That's why when I look at Jesus, that no one who came from Nazareth, that insane, who was called son of Belzebu, who simply ignored all lame earthly honor, then, my friends, when I think about the Cross and its absurdity, when I look at JESUS principles, teachings and attitudes, then, I have a glimpse about what Paul referred to as the "foolishness of the GOSPEL" so many times in Corinthians. 
The more I get familiar with this crazy world, the (little by little) more I start to comprehend about this verse here:
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:25


There's this AMAZING man of God Brennan Manning http://www.brennanmanning.com/- I've already read one of his books: "The importance of being foolish" (Convite à loucura em português)
Man....  My next one will be "Ragamuffin Gospel" (O Evangelho Maltrapilho)


I watched this short video from Manning and I really kept thinking about what he said, like, ... Do I know how much GOD loves me? NO
Do I understand His daily longing to be with me, in His garden, at dusk? I have an idea about it. 

Well... I guess you'd better watch this video

because, honestly, I think I need to work on my faith... And simply surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender.........................................................................
