Revelation 1:9

We can decide what race we are going to run, whether is God’s call or race in our own will. Although in both of them we are not going to be alone. There are friends and people in both sides, that will have same beliefs, dreams and desires, some with similar paths as ours. But we were called by God to run the good race of our calling. Calling that is part of his Body, each person complements each one another with an specific task. We have one thing in common, and that is Jesus; only one Lord. Whom all of us together serve. We should be there to support us when someone is weak, because if one suffers all the body suffers. 

During several years of my life, it was hard for me to find good friends. The people I knew had different beliefs and likes. In church I never felt comfortable with the people I met, or friendships just couldn’t happen. A feeling of being unwelcome in our groups made me to start to separate of them, but I also didn’t want to have friends who were partying. It was a hard time, feeling lonely and not looking after God started anxiety in me and fear of me not being good enough. In college I met good friends, who I felt really comfortable with, but still it is hard for me to be open to people and that is something I need to work on.

I didn’t know that coming to Ignite I was going to meet boys and girls from my age. With the time we have spent together, I feel like I have brothers and sisters. It is incredible that there is people with the same passion but that algo struggle with several same things.  Siblings that will help me persevere and work in our Lord Jesus’ Kingdom.

Application:

Ask my roommates if there is something I can help them with today.

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
