Psalm 34:8-9

God is so great and amazing that we can just not only think of Him but also experience Him with our different senses, there are no limits for God. My relationship with Him can go beyond that just a thought. Sometimes I limit Him in my ways to pursue Him were I just think that He will show Himself when I read my Bible in the morning or by a teaching or Bible lesson, not reaching a greater awareness of our God. This has drawn me into a state were I believe that my relationship with Him is superficial and that He is not around. Few days ago, I made a difficult decision were I knew I was making the right decision but I didn’t seek Him at all. I made it in my own strength even though the decision was under His fear, I know there could have been something the Lord could have shown me more in the situation. He is my Shepherd and He is in control, He takes care of me in every detail, He doesn’t want me to be alone but He gives His hand to help me out. It has been me who has denied His voice.

John 7:37

37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Thinking on when I finish running under the sun and it was a hard run, whatever drink is available and looks good I will take it. But not all things are good for me to recover all the minerals and nutrients I lost while running. Hearing Jesus saying this, reminds me of how often whenever my heart is uneasy about something instead of looking after Him I look for whatever is available and looks find; forgetting about Him who is always available and willing to help. Past victories can make me think that I have control over circumstances and that can look after them within my own understanding. But my need for Him hasn’t lessened at all. I need to remember WHO has done everything in my life. Whatever God approves of comes first, whatever grieves Him has to go. The Lord deserves loyalty and not a selfish heart; caught up in pride won’t allow Him to co

Mark 14:30

I have had plenty advertisements in my life by Him. He has always talked to my life through different ways and even though I have heard loud and clear, I haven’t taken the advice and decided to go my way. Jesus loves me so much that He guides in beforehand on what is going to happen, to makes us aware and tell us how we could still make a different decision. God has called me to lay down my life for Him only, He won’t take second place in my life. But somehow I have found myself with distractions and pursuing something very different to Him. My heart and life must be His, there is no other way,. Only by surrendering it all He will pour the things He has for me, but if I turn my way into setting my heart and desire in something else He can’t work in me. Why did Peter didn’t remember whenever he heard the first crow? The servant women kept recognizing him as a Jesus’ follower but his fear of death pushed him to the wrong actions. The first rooster crow is an advertisement in th

Isaiah 43:18

This past week I was feeling with myself disappointed. I had started the year and through January with the habit of waking up early to have a special time with the Lord and pray. As those days kept going I started to make it as a task in my check list. I was doing it because of the idea of it or just to do so, so I could prove something to God. My faith was on the ways to God, instead of actually seeking Him first into the ways. Myself was tired and desperate of the situation, but I still neglected myself to fix it. I knew I had to solve it in His presence opening my heart to Him, instead I pleased my flesh procrastinating and “resting”. Whenever I heard that Pastor Michael would come to Guatemala to do a presentation in a church of Guatemala City, I started to think in myself and see how things that I struggled in the past were starting to come back again to me. I had the thought of inviting my friends to the event, but again that fear of judgement or finger pointing started

Psalms 10:22

The mindset on how to make a living has been in my mind for a while ago. I grew up thinking that my life was going to be working and giving myself into a job to be able to have money and buy freedom. Seeing into buying very deeply, having assets are just to somehow get into a position of freedom and quality of time. But it seems that walking in that path it just becomes into a vicious circle, where slowly I can be drawn away from people around me and ending disappointed. The value of things need to change in my life. Life is not a monopoly game; in the end of this game all possessions and money goes back to the cardboard box. I won’t take anything from Earth when I die. Christ asks to whoever wants to be His disciple must forsake all that he has. Few weeks ago, I was focusing more into giving away and how would that leave me with “nothing” and thinking on what I needed to do to get back some of what I “lost”. In school I was taught about Maslow’s triangle of needs an

Luke 9:20

Jesus came so that we can have a personal relationship with our God father. It is easy to like the idea of who Jesus and God is and not actually want to know Him intimately. We can want what He gives and provides but not Himself. The disciples were asking everybody else about who they thought Jesus was, how often I focus on others’ relationships with the Lord and want to have what they are walking on or going through. Jesus asks them a personal question, it is important that everyone else’s faith is in Jesus and we are called to share the gospel to all the world but if our own faith is wrong then what we share is also wrong. It is my desire but uttermost His that we may know Him truly and completely. For me this season I have been walking with the Lord, but I feel that I have sought the actions and ways to Him, not Him first. I have been praying, reading His word and sharing what He is doing in me with others, but right now I am in sort way of stuck. I have denied Hi

1 Peter 5: 5-7

As a youth in age and maturity, there are elders that I can look after and submit to them. I can approve myself in this matter. There is leadership that I haven’t taken advantage from, where I could have asked for counsel or advise. For this time that is meant for being in “action”, there will be several winnings and failings; most of failures can be missed by the correction beforehand from a leader. God uses them to bless my life with guidance and knowledge, but if I am full of pride or shyness I will never be able to have that Paul-Timothy relationship. It takes humbleness to open the self and share to someone, whereas if I am proud thinking that I don’t need anyone my walk and progress will soon fall off the roof. A disciple is someone who is around the leader and has an attitude of willingness to give the extra mile of waiting and asking. He won’t be content with the simple and superficial, he wants to go further. For my walk during this time, I believe that is something that I am
