Luke 9:20


Jesus came so that we can have a personal relationship with our God father. It is easy to like the idea of who Jesus and God is and not actually want to know Him intimately. We can want what He gives and provides but not Himself. The disciples were asking everybody else about who they thought Jesus was, how often I focus on others’ relationships with the Lord and want to have what they are walking on or going through. Jesus asks them a personal question, it is important that everyone else’s faith is in Jesus and we are called to share the gospel to all the world but if our own faith is wrong then what we share is also wrong. It is my desire but uttermost His that we may know Him truly and completely. For me this season I have been walking with the Lord, but I feel that I have sought the actions and ways to Him, not Him first. I have been praying, reading His word and sharing what He is doing in me with others, but right now I am in sort way of stuck. I have denied His calling to just come boldly to His presence and give Him my tiredness and burdens. I want to be with Him but I don’t want it to be as a task or burden. In His presence, I need to ask for a fresh desire to know Him more daily.

Application:
Read and pray again in the morning 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...
