Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Para mí, este es uno de las instancias más fuertes de la voluntad de Dios en toda la Escritura. Estoy obligado a perdonar a los demás. Cuando no lo hago, me aleja del perdón que Dios anhela darme a mí. Aunque perdonar a los demás nunca es fácil, Dios no solo lo manda sino también nos ha dado el ejemplo de su Hijo. Además, nos ha prometido darnos el poder de cumplir con su voluntad con el poder del Espíritu Santo. El asunto es: ¿perdonaremos a quienes nos han herido?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This passage is one of the most challenging reminders of God's will in Scripture. I MUST forgive others! When I refuse to forgive, I build a dam, stopping the stream of forgiveness God longs to give me. Forgiving others is seldom easy. It is often quite difficult and painful. However, God has commanded us to do it and given us his Son as an example of how to forgive (Luke 23:34). Jesus has promised to empower us to do his will by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:14-21) as we are transformed to become like him (2 Corinthians 3:18). The real issue: Will I let go of my bitterness toward those who have wounded me? Yet when we harbor bitterness and unforgiveness, we hold ourselves hostage to our hate and resentment. As the saying says, "Forgiveness is setting the captive bird free, then realizing you were the captive bird!"
Mi oración
Amado Dios, quiero perdonar a ___________ del pecado que ha hecho contra mí. Te pido que saques la amargura de mi corazón. Dame el poder para perdonar como Jesús perdonó. Además, querido Padre, enséñame lo importante que es el perdón para lograr los cambios que quiero realizar en mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Dear God, I confess this is a hard command. But, dear Father, I want to forgive these people (please add the names you are committing to forgive) of the sin they have committed against me. Please block cynicism and bitterness from my heart. Please empower me to forgive as Jesus did. Please pour your Holy Spirit into my heart and fill me with love and forgiveness. In addition, dear Father, please teach me what my commitment to forgive means for the genuine life changes I need to make. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
