Luke 17:11-19

It is amazing how the ten lepers went out into the presence of Jesus without knowing He was coming. They must have known or have heard of who He is, to be able to come unto Him. For me stands to not only stay with what I can hear or learn about Him in church service or other day, but also go and have the drive to have a personal experience and relationship with Him. When I go, I can ask Him for any need I can have, it doesn’t matter what situation I can be in; He has the power to overcome whatever. Whenever the relationship with someone can get rough or I have difficult task to do, I come to Him with a humble and honest heart knowing that circumstances are out of my hands and that I can rely on Him. After surrendering myself, I need to open my ears and heart to be able to receive the commands He has for me. Even though it can be what I don’t want to hear or it could be nonsense, He knows better for my life and I must obey. My obedience pleases Him and when He knows He can trust me things (when I have been faithful in the little), now He can give greater things and those desires of my heart (when they are in His will). As things can grow and situations can start to look greater and fancier, I need to remember that He is the only who deserves glory and honor. I can ask for different things, but He wants a real relationship; He wants to give me salvation, everything else doesn’t matter. It is a constant and daily act of faith to trust and obey Him, surrendering my days and life to His hands, asking Him to cleanse me of whatever I could do: heaven is my motivation and destination.

Application:
After the days of this week come to the Lord in the night, debrief the day out and be thankful about it.

Ephisians 6:1 and Colossians 3:20

We are earthly and heavenly creatures. In earth we must come from a man and a woman, whom are called our parents. In earth we are the offspring of that man and woman; therefore, we might have: their eyes, smile, character, attitudes, or any other characteristic. That creates a special relationship between us and them. There is love in caring from their part, they would do whatever is possible so that we can be find and happy. Sometimes they wouldn’t eat so that we could have food in our stomach, they wouldn’t sleep so that we could have rest, or they wouldn’t buy something for them so that we could have clothes and everything we need. But we, as their children, take their sacrifices for granted. We forget quickly or didn’t even noticed how far they have gone through us, be selfish and treat them badly. Also as we grow up and don’t have the correct moral, we tend to be rebellious towards them. What they say has no relevance, we think that our opinion and idea is the correct one. When w...

Psalms 17:15

After coming to Jesus our past stays with our sin and transgression. His grace makes us just and allows us to reach our Father. To stay just we must live in the spirit and die daily to our flesh. Why do I not want to sin anymore? I just see what Jesus did for me on the cross, remember certain moments of my life were Jesus never left, see His faithful hand saving me and guiding me; this encourages me to live a life for Him. He loved me first, now I can love Him. It is for loving Him and others that I want to stay in justice, to be able to make Jesus smile and be proud. Get to know Him much much more, that I could hear His heartbeat, know His mind and hear His voice. I fail every day, sometimes I would only focus in what I am doing wrong and tend to forget His love and mercy, self pity drains and turns the day into a bad day. Other times I would feel anxious for things to come and forget about this very moment. I also feel fear about my efforts and actions. All this together is nothing ...

Hebrews 11:6

While I was meditating of these verse, a humming bird came to my sight. It was flying really fast, drawing close to a flower. This bird believes that the flower exists, and that it is going to get food from it.  That representation got me thinking, that this verse talks about a relationship. This relationship is  established by faith between the members. In a dualistic view, both members (mostly) want to get to know each other, start doing things to one another expecting to get them happy; safety is a huge part to build a good relationship. Trust must be present so that relationship can continue, because when you start to have doubts on the other member member, unreliability comes and then the relationship just  can’t be healthy.  Our relationship with Dad starts when we believe in Him. He, since the beginning of the creation, expected this relationship with his sons and daughters. Our faith brings Him joy, because if there is faith.. the con...
