Hebrews 13:5

There would always be a chance that we can incline our hearts into money… but, why?? If we think of it money is just a means of exchange for goods and services. Money can have value for us only if we value the things we can use it for. Wishing for a new house, car, more clothes, etc, can place in our hearts a desire to gather money and be able to purchase them. To want these things is not wrong, what it is wrong is to place them first and to have them as a goal and north; they can become first place in our lives and hearts. The first place is only for God. Therefore, when He is all, He will become our father, helper, provider,   just everything. What we have in our hearts now, needs to be in His hands because we can trust that He will always be with us. 

For a period of time in my life I believed that my purpose was making business and money to have a “good life”. As I grew up, money wasn’t what I wanted any more, I just wished for a nice family and happiness. I knew that in whatever I came up to do was to let God work through it and be a blessing to other people. Sometimes I struggle with material things, like: what am I going to wear or what place am I going to visit. My desire is to let go of earthly vanity and just care for God and His will.

List of earthly things I want for my life and pray for them.

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
