Para vencer el desánimo


 



18 de julio de 2014

A lo largo de la vida, el desánimo nos causará sentimientos temporales de desilusión. Pero si sufrimos una y otra vez contrariedades, el desánimo puede alojarse en nosotros y afectarnos de diversas maneras.

Primero, se produce una división en nuestra mente. Nos resulta difícil concentrarnos, no importa dónde estemos o quiénes estén con nosotros, seguimos pensando en la desilusión.

Luego, buscamos a alguien a quien culpar. Es fácil pensar que nos sentiremos mejor diciendo que el problema es por causa de otra persona, e incluso señalar a Dios por permitir la prueba.

A medida que nuestra actitud empeora, comenzamos a enfocarnos en lo que no nos gusta o no tenemos, hasta que estallamos de cólera porque personas o circunstancias nos han fallado.

Con el tiempo, el desánimo conduce a tomar decisiones poco sabias. Con una mente dividida, un enfoque equivocado, una actitud negativa e ira en el corazón, no pensaremos con claridad ni actuaremos de una manera agradable a Dios.

De la historia de Nehemías podemos aprender cómo vencer el desánimo. Después de orar, debemos esperar en Dios con la confianza en lo que Él hará. El Señor movió el corazón del rey, quien se mostró solidario con su copero dándole los soldados y lo que iba a necesitar. Nehemías aceptó la ayuda y se adelantó para reconstruir Jerusalén.
Dios moverá los corazones y enviará a las personas necesarias para ayudarnos en los momentos de desánimo. ¿Acudirá usted al Señor con esperanza, y aceptará la ayuda que Él le envíe?

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: 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, St...

One Day at a Time - May 21

Reflection on Genesis 44:33 Sometimes we get a second chance. When we do, it’s important to seize the opportunity. That’s what Judah did. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah didn’t rescue Joseph but instead suggested that they sell him as a slave (see Genesis 37:26–27 ). His second chance came when Benjamin’s life appeared to be in danger. This time Judah put his own life on the line to protect his half brother, Rachel’s other son. Perhaps this commitment was taken into account in the blessings that God inspired Jacob to give his sons; eventually the Messiah came through Judah’s descendants (see Genesis 49:10 ). God often gives us second chances in life. When he does, we need to take advantage of the opportunity and set things right.
