Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Queremos que el Espíritu este obrando en nosotros para llegar a ser igual a Jesús. Para que ocurra es necesario abrir nuestros corazones a la voluntad de Dios. No hay palabras de más importancia que Dios quiere escuchar que "enséñame a hacer tu voluntad." Para que sea nuestro Dios, tiene que tener control sobre nuestras vidas y voluntades.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We want the Spirit to be at work in us to make us like Jesus. For this to happen, we must open our hearts to the will of God. There are no greater words God wants to hear than "teach me to do your will." That is what it means for him to be God, to have control over our lives and our wills. This is a key part of loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. As we open ourselves to the Father in this way, the Holy Spirit puts us on God's level ground!
Mi oración
Dios Todopoderoso, quiero que de verdad seas el Dios de mi vida. Renuncio a cualquier esfuerzo para manipular tu gracia para mi beneficio. Subyugo mi voluntad a la tuya. Santo Padre, confieso que a veces permito que mis deseos malos y egoístas me hagan salir de tu camino. Perdóname cuando mi corazón este frío y mis oídos no escuchen tu voluntad. Toma hoy control de mi vida. Por Jesús, mi Señor y en su nombre, pido que hagas tu voluntad la mía, Amén.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I want you to truly be God in my life. I renounce any attempt on my part to try to manipulate or use your grace and kindness for my benefit. I submit my will to yours. But Holy Father, I confess that I struggle at times with my own selfish and evil desires that lead me astray. Please forgive me when my heart is cold and my ears are deaf to your will. Please, take control of my life today and may the Spirit lead me on your level ground. Through Jesus my Lord, and in his name, I ask you to assert your will as God in my life. Amen.
