Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
"Si solo tuviera un amigo." "Si solo mi padre no se hubiera ido." "Si solo me apoyara más." "Si solo..." La gente nos puede fallar pero seguimos poniendo en ellos nuestras esperanzas. Son falibles y mortales tal como nosotros mismos. Así mientras seguimos involucrados en las vidas de los demás, también debemos de mantener nuestra esperanza en el Hijo de Dios, quien "derrotó a la muerte y trajo inmortalidad y vida a la luz" y quien "nunca nos dejará ni nos abandonará."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"If only I had a friend."
"If only my father hadn't left."
"If only she was more supportive."
"If only..."
Even though we know deep down that people can and will often fail us, we still pin so many of our hopes on them — or excuse our failure on not having the right ones of them in our lives. However, people are fallible and mortal, just like we are. So, while we are involved in other people's lives and we're connected to other believers in Jesus, let's also remember to keep our hopes connected to the Son of God, who "destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light" (2 Timothy 2:11) and who will never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:37-39).
Mi oración
Perdóname, Amado Padre, cuando he puesto mi bienestar y felicidad en ser aceptado por cierto grupo de personas o por ser amado por una persona. Reconozco que mi única esperanza verdadera se encuentra en Jesús, en cuyo nombre oro, Amén
My Prayer...
Dear Father, please forgive me when I have pinned my well-being and happiness on being accepted by a particular group of people or supported by another special person. Even more, dear Father, I ask for your forgiveness for excusing my weaknesses and for strength to overcome my bitterness because I blamed you for not having the right people in my life. I know my only lasting hope is in Jesus. So, I pray this in the name of the always faithful, Lord Jesus. Amen.
