Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
¿Cuántas veces te ha decepcionado alguien por quien votaste, te ha traicionado un amigo, abandonado un ser querido, o defraudado un líder de la iglesia? Aunque amamos a otros y nos interesamos por ellos, casi todas las personas en este mundo son como nosotros: seres humanos con fallas que respiran el mismo aire y caminan por el mismo suelo que nosotros. Sólo Uno es digno de nuestra confianza total. Lo demostró sacrificando lo que le era más precioso para que pudiéramos conocer su amor. No pongamos nuestra esperanza en otros simples mortales; sólo Dios puede salvaguardar nuestra confianza. ¡Pongamos nuestra esperanza en Él!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How often have you been disappointed by someone you voted for? How many friends have betrayed you? Have you ever been abandoned by a loved one? How many church leaders have let you down?
While we love others and care about them, every other person in our world is just like us. Each is a flawed human being who breathes the same air and walks the same ground as we do. Only One is worthy of our ultimate trust. He showed us by sacrificing what was most precious to him so we could know his love. Let's not put our hope in other mere mortals; only God can safeguard our trust and ensure our future. Let's put our hope in him!
Mi oración
Padre, tú conoces los lugares quebrados de mi corazón causados por gente en mi vida que me falló. Confieso que a veces me he desilusionado de tus caminos por las fallas e inconsistencias de tu pueblo. En lo profundo de mí sé, Padre, que sus fallas no significan tus fallas, pero es difícil no sentirme así. Acércame a ti. Dame un corazón más gentil hacia quienes me fallan. Establece con firmeza y fortaleza mi fe en ti, o Señor. En ti pongo mi confianza. En el nombre de Jesús. Amén.
My Prayer...
Father, you know the broken places in my heart that were caused by the failure of people in my life. I confess that I have sometimes become disillusioned with your way because of the failures and inconsistencies in your people. Deep down I know, dear Father, that their failures do not mean your failure, but it is hard for it not to feel that way. Call me close to you. Give me a more gracious heart toward those who fail me. Establish my faith, strong and firm in you, O Lord. In you, O God, I put my trust. In Jesus' name. Amen.
