"All who are led by Spirit of God are sons of God "(Rom 8:14).

Spirit God has always loved, from eternity. He followed the paths of false freedom, idolatry of ourselves, as a shepherd who goes in search of the lost sheep, as the Father who awaits the child, with infinite patience, on the doorstep, ready to party. We tried in the labyrinths of life where we lost, with the anxiety with which you search for the precious coin, as was his only treasure.
He let death destroy, fell to the lowest hell not to lose any step, until feel abandoned, emptied of its essence in the soul, love. For this we were called back to life in the life of Jesus that has embraced and held close to him and reported to breathe the Spirit of the Father.
God's Spirit makes us say "Abba" Father. How can we live as children of God?

life experience:
We've been married 26 years and have three children still students. He works as a hospital doctor, while my wife after the birth of their third child, quit his job as a physiotherapist for family responsibilities and to face together, according to his abilities and skills, the normal commitments newspapers and sometimes difficult times.
It helped us a lot of dialogue and addressing problems early, confident of always finding the most suitable solution, as at the decision by our son and his partner, to abandon the life they had conceived. Understand their discomfort, not to justify their behavior and in particular their decision. The law allows it, no conscience! No difficulty of practical implementation, privacy guaranteed, unbeknownst to anyone, except of conscience. Statement shocking, disruptive to the fact and its possible consequences.
What answer? "We give you a hand!" This is what we decided in unison, After several minutes of awe, silence and understanding reached only with an intense mutual gaze, without thinking too much, ignoring the "if" and "but" certain of one thing: their decision expressed a clear plea for help to understand to act. The dialogues and silences later revealed different dynamics. The diversity of ideas, beliefs, positions of outer and intermediate, allowed to walk along a road is not easy but it sure lit by the beacon of the goal: Life always.
the end we decided together with a clear "yes" to life, a "yes" liberator, enthusiastic in the subsequent choices of practical commitments and concrete. The idea has sparked the action, enthusiasm by involving other people, "the face" of privacy, shame, or interested in the respectability of the empty dignity. Love, honesty, communication and weapons availability are always winning. The boldness and courage must always prevail on the insipid shyness.
The principles and values \u200b\u200bmust be discussed but never put into question: life is the most beautiful gift that God has given us.
