1 Peter 5: 5-7

As a youth in age and maturity, there are elders that I can look after and submit to them. I can approve myself in this matter. There is leadership that I haven’t taken advantage from, where I could have asked for counsel or advise. For this time that is meant for being in “action”, there will be several winnings and failings; most of failures can be missed by the correction beforehand from a leader. God uses them to bless my life with guidance and knowledge, but if I am full of pride or shyness I will never be able to have that Paul-Timothy relationship. It takes humbleness to open the self and share to someone, whereas if I am proud thinking that I don’t need anyone my walk and progress will soon fall off the roof. A disciple is someone who is around the leader and has an attitude of willingness to give the extra mile of waiting and asking. He won’t be content with the simple and superficial, he wants to go further. For my walk during this time, I believe that is something that I am failing in. My growth in Christ would look different if I am open to elder’s opinion and word, for they have been set in this period of time by God to bless and oversee my life. I need to be open to hear God’s voice and accept His will in guiding my days. His hand is mighty and there is nothing He can’t fix in me, it just needs my trust and patience. He is in control and He can’t take any anxiety for there is nothing too hard for Him. A better chance also is that leaders have passed through that trial also and can help me out.

Application:
Have talks with elders this week.

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...
