1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Paul helps us to redirect ourselves if we have been driven our actions into vanity. I was a guy who at the end of my life wanted to earn both crowns: corruptible and incorruptible. Trying to gain my own life I was loosing my incorruptible crown. Looking after my dreams and desires draw me to be careless of what is really important: heavenly things. Although in my race, my life, the battle was hard in both areas: I was failing. 

Getting to know who really Jesus is, I found out that I was taking more laps and making longer turns that would made the race harder. My own burden was heavier, and it was tiring me. He took it, releasing me from fear and anxiety. The truth of His salvation set me free. The old me and sinful nature is crucified and dead, but now I live in Jesus. It is for Him and for His love that all that I do is to please Him. He gave it all to me, and my answer towards His sacrifice is a surrendered life. It has been the best decision. He cleaned my heart of every sorrow and sadness, and fill it with joy and love. 

My eyes are set in Him and in heaven, to say no and yes is a pleasure for this both things. Jesus is worth it, even though sometimes could hurt the processes and discipline but knowing that He is in control makes me be free of anxiety. I don’t need to hurry myself if my trust is in Him. Hitting the air reminds me to do things in my own strength and my own opinion. I am done with myself that never worked out good for me. God has shown several times that all I need is Him. I don’t need pride, because whenever it exits in my heart I burn out so easily because He only likes humble hearts. A humble heart is a servant one. Knowing that He is faithful in everything makes me be humble. Not being humble is a high risk, He can’t take off what He has given us.

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
