Galatians 5:13

I grew up as a christian kid, good and bad was in my knowledge and mind. True commitment to Jesus didn’t exist in me. I believed I wasn’t good enough to be a christian, always expected to be “perfect” to preach or share the gospel with others, but this is impossible. Living a life with masks and trying to be a “christian” is tiring. It was until a surrendered completely to Jesus that I believed that I was born a new person. Never before knew that I don’t need sin anymore, Jesus is enough. Thinking about this helps me whenever temptation comes to my way. Also reading His word and being in communion has helped me to build a stronger relationship in which I don’t want to hurt Him sinning. His love for me has made me to love Him back, and a way I have found to show this love is by being obedient and share this love with others. 
His sacrifice was so brutal that what at least what I can do is to live a life for Him and as I continue also becomes a life for others. Before I only cared for myself, how I looked, if I was satisfied and well; now seeing someone to smile is my goal. We have the liberty to serve ourselves or serve others. Through Ignite and serving people I have figured out that there is such a huge joy when I help, serve or share the gospel with someone. Sometimes it is hard because I can be tired, but then a thought of service and love comes to my mind and I try to change my attitude. I have always struggled with serving or being selfish, but the Lord is working in my heart. There is a passion to share and do things right that all I do is to pour out what Jesus has been talking to me. But as words or actions can be good or bad, they will be planted in them, let us try to plant good seeds. It is always a decision we must take, let us ask for wisdom and love.

Application:

Plant seeds (a virtue or good characteristic) in three of my classmates.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Hebrews 11:1

It seems that for all our lives and during every phase, we humans actually keep on wishing, wanting, and expecting  for something to happen or to come up to. Most of us will be influenced by the circumstances in our lives and the words of other people. It seems that we are constantly under pressure and bombarded with things that we don’t  even expect; like if we would become the person that the circumstances are dictating or what other people  are saying. Our expectations of life and the desires or hopes of our heart are biased to the wrong way.  Hebrews helps us define what faith really is, if we pay close attention. It is faith that is what holds all of these points, letting  us know what really is going wrong is our faith’s direction. We have the steering wheel of our own faith, it is us who  decide where we want it to be anchored or to whom or what we rely it on.  During my life I have been always a dreamer, having life goals, and constantly looking towards the

Luke 21:19

While I was thinking of standing still, a soldier was illustrated in my mind. When a superior calls a soldier to stand still, the soldier must leave whatever he is doing and come up firming his body. Then he has an attitude of listener, because the superior surely has something important to say. After the superior finishes his command, the soldier must wait until he has permitted to “relax”.  We can take certain points out of this illustration. The soldier has attitudes of obedience, service, and discipline. Jesus is our chief in command and we are his soldiers, we have to fight for souls. As any soldier, we need to look sharp and in shape. Otherwise we are going to die. We shall seek Jesus daily to know him more and delight ourselves in Him; so that our faces can reflect Him. Our ears need to be sensible to His voice, in a battle of so much noise and action, confusing a command from a different source will have terrible consequences. Our most important weapon is His word, sharper
