Angels

“Therefore, the angels are only servants, spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.” Hebrews 1:14 (NLT).

Throughout time there has been much talk about angels and books have been written about their functions here on Earth. Many of us live fascinated by angels, but remembering that they should not be worshiped but only God. But what does the Bible say about angels? Continue reading “Angels”

I hear you

Then you will call on me, and come to pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12.

I was recently speaking with my pastor about the script of Jesus in the boat and the storm (St. Mark 4: 35-41). We talked about Jesus entering the boat who came from long hours carrying the message to his people and even healing the sick people. Imagine a construction worker who spends many hours in the sun and working hard,, when he arrives at his house he requires to take a break since what awaits him is another day of hard work. Well, when Jesus entered the boat to cross to the other side, we imagined Continue reading “I hear you”

The hole

You who have made me see many anguish and afflictions, you will restore my life again; and you will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Psalm 71:20.

Today, as I walked I watched as some employees dug a hole (concavity) to plant a tree. While watching how they made the hole, I observed how the driver of the machine dug the hole and the other person indicated the depth required by the hole to plant the tree. While continuing to observe the process, another driver brought the tree protecting the roots so that they would not be affected by the movement, although the tree had no leaves, because of the winter, I knew that soon the leaves would arrive with spring. When analyzing this process, I thought that our life is similar to a tree which depended on the depth of the hole to sustain itself with the climatic changes. Then, I was wondering, how deep will our hole be? Continue reading “The hole”

Between two boxes

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Romans 14: 8.

A few days ago I was watching television, and there was an announcement that struck me and led me to analyze the message from a perspective in our daily life. The announcement was that the human being is born and placed in a box and when we die also our body is placed in a box. But, what is in between these two boxes? Wau! I was really struck by the message, although it was a commercial one.

Don’t worry about anything

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6  (NLT).

We live in a world full of worries, we feel anxious, we feel stressed and we live day by day with fears. We live dominated by worries. Worry is an emotion that often leads us to be non-productive as fear invades us. A fear that arises in advance to invade our thoughts and our energy to something that often does not happen. Therefore, we live many times worried about things or imagine events without this really happening. Have you felt this way? Also, there are moments that we are going through difficult situations in our lives that we worry about. Well, today I want to share with you the antidote for worry. Continue reading “Don’t worry about anything”

HONOR OUR PARENTS

Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6: 2-3 (KJV).

Our parents are beings that God used to procreate us and be who we are today. Some of us are adopted by extraordinary people, some of us have lost a parent or been raised by single parents. They took care of us in the first stages of our lives, laughed, suffered and even woke up with us in the midst of our illness. In addition, our parents have been friends and advisors. Continue reading “HONOR OUR PARENTS”

LOVE

If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3.

Love is a feeling of affection that leads to expressing emotions for one person towards another. All at one time we have loved. We have loved our father, mother, children, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and all those people who once we showed a deep and special love that has kept us together through time. Even after death, we maintain that feeling of love for the being that was once part of our lives. Love! How difficult is it to explain… Continue reading “LOVE”

TRANSITION

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 New Living Translation (NLT).

LOVE exceeds all knowledge

And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. Ephesians 3:18 (NLT).

Today I want to share a passage of the Bible Ephesians 3:14-21 (New James Version), where Paul asks God to help us to understand the immense love of God, even thus our mind cannot understand the fullness of his love for humanity. Continue reading “LOVE exceeds all knowledge”
