Hambre y sed de Dios

19 de diciembre de 2012
La historia de David nos inspira a querer tener una relación estrecha con Dios. Pero ¿de dónde surge esa clase de pasión? No se fabrica ni se crea mediante el esfuerzo o la fuerza de voluntad, pues nuestra naturaleza carnal nunca nos permitiría mantener ese nivel de dedicación. El hambre y la sed de Dios son, en realidad, un don del Señor mismo.
Dios nos predestinó para que fuéramos transformados a la imagen de su Hijo, y por eso plantó en nosotros el deseo innato de conocer al Salvador, y de ser conocidos por Él. El problema es que muchas personas, confundiendo este anhelo con ansias de otros tipos, buscan cosas como el afecto, la adulación o la fama. Van por la vida tratando de crear cualquier tipo de relación personal que puedan, para satisfacer los deseos que ni siquiera entienden. Con demasiada frecuencia, el resultado es relaciones superficiales, trabajo excesivo y una conducta inmoral.
La gente corre de aquí para allá, haciendo todo lo que pueden para satisfacer un hambre innata creada por el Todopoderoso, un hambre tan poderosa que solamente sacia la intimidad con Dios. David sabía que solo había una solución para el anhelo constante que había en su corazón. Como dijo San Agustín: “Nuestros corazones estarán errantes hasta que descansen en Ti”.
Dios ha creado en nosotros la capacidad de relacionarnos personalmente con Él. Pero nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa no nos da el poder de generar tal relación. Si usted está tratando de satisfacer su hambre innata con sus propias fuerzas, busque al Señor, quien es el creador de nuestros deseos.
Dios te bendiga!
Amen

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
