Transcript
- 0:05You know people who are constantly changing neighborhoods, or are changing cities, or
- 0:13are changing countries. They move very easily the see uploaded in the moving trucks
- 0:22of trasteos we say in Colombia. They' re sending you their new address,
- 0:29their new location, their new phone and whenever they talk to you,
- 0:35they also tell you it' s a new start, but they have a
- 0:40new start every certain time, new neighborhood, new school for kids, new
- 0:47job, new opportunities. Let' s just say that' s not bad.
- 0:54Everyone has the right to live life as he pleases and if they have
- 1:00decided to live as nomads, because it is their way of enjoying life.
- 1:04The problem is that many of them are changing, moving, modifying their lives
- 1:11and having a new beginning because of their course. People who settle in a
- 1:19neighborhood but soon have problems with all the neighbors, people who have a job
- 1:26and soon are in another because they did not endure them, they fought with
- 1:32their fellow workers and when they pass a new application for a new job,
- 1:40because they have on their resume many places where they have worked three, four
- 1:45months, five months, and that already the companies know. It is not
- 1:55good when a person passes a resume and has worked in many places because it
- 2:00means that he is not stable in his working mode. Constantly with Jasmith in
- 2:07counseling we are talking to those people who come from another city or some of
- 2:14them who are going to another country. And when you talk to those people
- 2:17who are going to live in another country, they always argue that we are
- 2:23going to look for a better way of life. Well, and that'
- 2:29s another matter that they' re always looking for a better way of life.
- 2:35That' s why they change work, house, neighborhood, culture,
- 2:39country. Soon, however, they are so immersed in the same problems they
- 2:49have had in all the places they have been. Why this, for simply,
- 2:54one can change one’ s city, but nothing if one does not
- 3:00change one’ s heart. You can change your country, but nothing gets
- 3:07out if you don' t change your heart. You can change work,
- 3:10but nothing comes out if your attitude, your heart, your mind do not
- 3:17change, you do not suffer a methaneia, as the word of God says
- 3:24in Romans transform themselves by renewing the mind. If your heart doesn' t
- 3:30change no matter how much you change your city, you' ll always have
- 3:36the same problems. If your heart doesn' t change as much as you
- 3:39change your country and culture, your situation doesn' t change. You will
- 3:45realize that after three four months, once living in your new form, the
- 3:50same inconveniences, the same problems, will appear again. Because it' s
- 3:58not the city that makes the difference, it' s not the job,
- 4:02it' s not the culture, it' s not the neighborhood. It
- 4:04is you who make the difference, from the depths of your heart, with
- 4:11your attitude, with your way of life. The word of God says that
- 4:15the heart is deceitful more than all things. When we learn to master our
- 4:21attitude, our course, our way of thinking, that is, all that
- 4:28the word of God calls the heart. I' m sure our life is
- 4:32going to be different. There are people who need to be warned that they
- 4:38should not run after that ghost of whether changing cities improves my life, without
- 4:44changing my country I improve my life. We have to warn them and tell
- 4:48them no. No, no, no, no, no matter how much
- 4:51you change your life. If you don' t change your heart, problems
- 4:57will come back.
