Joy

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13.

Today, everyone seeks to feel happy, cheerful. For many, joy is temporary or momentary. But, how can I have a life full of constant joy? Well, we have tried everything, but nothing has been constant. I was reading a reflection in the Bible, which I would like to share with you. And, it is in relation to this verse of Romans 15:13 which touches three important points that produce joy. Do you want to know what they are? Continue reading “Joy”

The burdens

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2.

There are times in our lives that we receive bad news from illness, unemployment, finances, family, and so many other things. So many times is our despair leads us to depression. The pain oppresses us to such an extent that many times we lose track of time and those around us. We think many times that we can no longer, and we ask ourselves “who can I trust, but above all who can help me?” So many thoughts come to us that lead us to the edge of despair. But, today I have a word for you my dear friend. Continue reading “The burdens”

Puerto Rico, for the love of ten

Then he said, “May the LORD not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it. Genesis 18:32.

Thanks to God’s love and mercy, today, July 25, 2019, Puerto Rico celebrates a victory. A victory suffered by many people over the course of several days. People who are parents, women, youth, children, and our relatives who suffered the loss of a loved one and even their belongings after Hurricane Maria. Continue reading “Puerto Rico, for the love of ten”

The draw back

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them, that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10:39

There are times in our lives that we remember our childhood, our joys, our sorrows and we even remember the past of where we were and where we are today. Maybe, today you have a job, you have a family, and everything is going very well for you. Or, perhaps remembering torments from the past and you cannot get out of those events that marked your life. Sometimes the mind betrays us and we think there is no solution. We are frightened of that past and we are afraid that others will find out or continue to hurt you. But, today I want to tell you that there is a solution. Continue reading “The draw back”

Religiosity or Jesus

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1: 9-12.

A very difficult subject to digest by many people, religiosity or Jesus. Today we live in a versatile, different, and changing world. People seek something that fills them in all their aspects such as mental, emotional, and spiritual spheres. We live in a world full of so many religions that often confuse the individual for the versatility of religious laws that men impose here on earth. But, I wonder if those religions follow Jesus, His teachings, and why Jesus came into the world or they follow religious laws created by themselves? Continue reading “Religiosity or Jesus”

Old age

They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing. Psalm 92:14.

Aging will touch us all. The stage arrives or the moment that we all say “we are getting old”. We no longer have the same strengths, the same vigor or energy, which we feel in our body and our bones. When we see ourselves in a mirror or compare us with the photos, we see that our face is not the same. Our face begins to have lines of expression that we did not have before, the famous wrinkles, and when we laugh we get the “little crow’s feet” (wrinkles in the eyes) as they say in my country. But, the important thing is that as the years pass we acquire experiences, we see life from another perspective and with a new strength that we did not have before. Continue reading “Old age”

Man, the father

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; Psalm 103: 13

I want to congratulate all the fathers in this Father’s Day. Men who have given all for their family and who remain on the battlefield to face adversities of life. May God continue to bless you, father. Today, I share an acronym written by A.L., who has previously shared its writings with us. The following acronym is dedicated to you, father. Continue reading “Man, the father”

Man, the husband

For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; as the husband rejoices over the wife, so shall your God rejoice over you. Isaiah 62: 5

The man, the husband, who left his parents to join his wife and start his own family. The man who marries his girlfriend, and who as a husband enjoys the company of his wife. One day, the man swear before God and the witnesses to take care of the wife and surrender himself to her. Continue reading “Man, the husband”

Man and love

You, on the other hand, the man of God, flee from all that and make a point of the following justice, piety, faith, love, perseverance, and humility. 1 Timothy 6:11

When a man loves, respects his neighbor, has mercy, is constant and follows justice, but above all, he protects his own. Continue reading “Man and love”

Man

And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.” Judges 6:12.

I am taking this time to talk and write about the man. Brave and courageous man; the man who is in front of their home, who is a worker, parent, son, husband, and friend who have given everything to keep their house up. Man, who God created in his image and likeness. Man that God gave him wisdom and intelligence to administer the earth. So, what is happening to the male of our day? Continue reading “Man”
