Grettings brothers!
I truly say that if the grain of wheat does not fall to the ground and it dies, it remains alone. But, if it dies, it will bear much fruit. "
Back in the era of vinyl records, tapes and CDs, we used to buy the whole album, sometimes due to a song.
It does not matter if people did not like each other. They were part of the album. Or buy the disk with all the legal nothing and not legally or not buy, which for Millenials was Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music does not make any sense. Today we use vinyl records and CDs to decorate cool bars that play independently. Nobody wants to buy an album that does not satisfy 100%.
But I'm not here to discuss this, in fact. What I want is just to make the reader travel in time with the vinyl records with me. The time when people knew that everything was not the way people wanted at first, that people were not obsessed with taking advantage of everything, that people knew that ups and downs were part of the way. But there people went to cultivate absolute pleasure, and that's where people got lost.
I used to think that only the wicked suffered. Should that be why people who are good (you are good?) Another or another took sitting on the edge of the bed wondering what he had done wrong to deserve such a thing as suffering, pain, sadness.
The truth is that a lot of things in life are nothing more than people planting what they harvested, but not everything can be so easy to understand. There is something that is outside of that logic. And people do what? Does he break his head trying to understand? I suggest something else.
What if people looked at life differently? And if people understood that life is worth it not only for the good times but for everything that happens between them? What if people could see how much good is produced in us when we let God use our pain for our good? What if people stopped looking for a culprit and became a protagonist?
The mountaintops are not history.
They are the celebration of everything that people lived. Jesus said that if the grain of wheat did not die, it would be left alone, but if he died, the fruits would be many. God makes all things cooperate for our good. He works in the most adverse circumstances. And he knows how to produce beautiful things in us and through us even from our moments of greatest pain. Not everything that seems death is death; sometimes, death precedes the resurrection.
Life works on the dynamics of the vinyl record. In life, you can not choose only the songs you like from the album.
They all come, one at a time, in the order they have to come. Has it happened to you to listen to a song, to detest at the beginning and then to end up enjoying? So. There is something that is like that. People do not make fun of face, but over time what was once bad ends up being good. You know why? Because life has outcomes that people do not understand, and all good does not understand everything. Everything is alright. God makes all things cooperate for our good.
"There will be no butterflies life does not go through long and silent metamorphoses."
