Romans 15:1

All who are followers of Jesus Christ are part of His body. God has given us certain gifts and a specific calling to us. We must work together and make sure that each member is find and doing well. When a part is weak, other parts should help and support it. Just as our body functions with its organs. 

Being selfish has being difficult when the time to help someone else comes. I would only care for my own condition. But God worked this in me, last year. I went to a extreme personal character challenge, we were sent to the wilderness and be walking, camping and learning from God. Every person was assigned to a team, a team that needed to be our family. I learned that I can’t leave my family behind, we leave together and we arrive together. There were times were some of the teammates didn’t have any strength left and with help of others we would carry their backpack. Also some would need to stop and rest, so we would wait for them too. I got tired too, and all I did was is to ask for His strength. It was then when I knew that life is not about me, but about Him; that loving others with my strength would burn out easily, but that in His  strength can endure. 

For a long period of time I would always prefer to go alone and to my stuff, but when a turn and see my surroundings I wouldn’t find no one. During my time in Ignite I have found out how wonderful is to have a team. As I help them, they also help me; and then we can see the wonderful work that God did. He taught me that there will be someone stronger than me and someone weaker. As I am strengthen I can strength someone else.

Help my teammates with Spanish.

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
