2 Timothy 2:22-26

In this chapter, Paul is calling Timothy into maturity, specially on speech. In the previous chapter he told him to hold strong to the words he has learn from him, but now Paul is asking him to share it with others. I believe youthful lusts are those that can drive someone away from their calling or tasks. As youth (not merely on age but also on maturity of Christlikeness) can be selfish, prideful, rebellious and impatient. Were we can be growing with everyone else who calls unto the Lord; we continue thinking that old habits or friends can be in our lives, we are wrong. People in the world must be our ministry and not our fellowship. There is more people in this same battle, and together we can strive for righteousness, faith, charity, and peace. It is easier when you can help each other out, we are a body and each member of it should be doing find otherwise the body aches. Here is where maturity comes, and we can learn to strive for ourselves to be found approved by our Lord. Having that time in the word and dwelling in His presence will allow us to have the knowledge of the word. If we apply it in our daily basis, then we can be an example unto others as Paul is for Timothy. False teaching and profane or superficial words just lead people into ungodliness. If we know the calling where we are standing and the people who is around, His passion and love in us will move us to be a person who will strive to be found without sin and with the right word to bless others.

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
