Genesis 3:21

I have found myself in shame whenever I fail Our Father. Sin doesn’t brings to me other than guiltless and deception to my life, pleasure can come with it but it vanishes really fast. The quick “happiness” doesn’t compare to the sadness that comes after. I can see their nakedness in my life as how fleshly and indifferent I can be towards Jesus’ sacrifice. Those “leaves” = lies and walls, are what I seek in my own will. Sometimes they can be when I try to cover me with whatever excuse, just trying to fool my mind to make me believe that it wasn’t that wrong or any reason that “approves” my attitude and actions. They reflect my own intentions to remind my life, how I seek my own will without accepting what really God has for me. Those times I don’t want to look after God, because I feel that He can’t see me in the condition that I am at that moment. Surely just lies from the enemy, God doesn’t likes sin but He loves me more than anything. I need to be reminded about this always. Are not my actions what justify me, it is His blood that sanctifies me. It is His purpose and love that stands after all, with Adam He had a purpose and after he sinned that didn’t change. Obviously it brought consequences and God lets he know about them, but He remained faithful and gave them skin garments. What this means to my life is that there are things in my life were even though that I sinned, the “leaves” I have put on myself won’t work for that purpose He has for me. He knows what I need “skin garments” to be able to fulfill His plans. This period of time has been of knowing what I had on me wasn’t what He wanted and to have faith to take them off and receive what He has for me. 

Application:

List of all my “leaves” and ask God to take them away and put on me His “skin garments”.

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
