Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
En 1 Corintios 6:19-20, Pablo nos ha dicho que nuestros cuerpos no nos pertenecen porque hemos sido comprados por Dios. Otra vez en este pasaje nos recuerda que cuando nos casamos, nuestro cuerpo no nos pertenece; pertenece a nuestro conjugue. Debemos utilizar nuestros cuerpos para bendecir, complacer y completar a nuestro esposo o esposa. Es importante a nuestro matrimonio y para complacerle a Dios.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul told us that our bodies were not our own, but that Christ bought us at a price and that we should glorify God with our bodies. Once again, in chapter 7, Paul reminds us that when we marry, our body is not our own. It belongs to our spouse. We are to use our bodies to bless, please, and bring fulfillment to our marriage partner. It is not our job to make sure they bless us, but our job is to make sure we bless our husband or wife. Such mutual self-giving and sacrificial love are crucial to healthy marriages. Without such loving sacrifice, we cannot please God or bless our spouse.
Mi oración
Dios Santo y Amoroso, Abba Padre, perdóname por los momentos en los que me he devaluado por no tratar a mi cuerpo como un regalo a ti. Si estoy casado o soltero, quiero utilizar mi cuerpo en una manera santa que te complazca. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy and loving God, please forgive me when I have cheapened myself by not treating my body as a gift to you. Whether I am married or single, I want to use my body in ways that are holy and pleasing to you and in ways that will bless my marriage partner if I am married. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
