Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
¿Qué tenemos que temer si Dios ha mandado a su hijo a morir por nosotros? ¿Qué hay que temer si no nos pueden separar del amor que Dios nos tiene en Cristo Jesús? ¿Qué hay que temer de nosotros si Dios ha derramado su Espíritu en nuestros corazones para asegurarnos y fortalecernos en nuestra debilidad? El amar a Dios y a sus hijos, nos recuerda el amor que nos tiene, que es mucho más grande que el pobre amor que demostramos a los demás. En vez de correr de Él por temor, nos inclinamos ante Él dándole gracias, sabiendo que el que escucha nuestras oraciones es también el que nos ama y anhela calmar nuestros temores.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What is there to fear since nothing can separate us from the love God has for us in Christ Jesus? (Romans 8:38-39)
What is there to fear since God has poured his Spirit into our hearts to transform, strengthen, and make us holy? (2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 6:11)
What is there to fear since God sent his Son to die to redeem us and present us to God as holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation"? (Colossians 1:21-22)
As the apostle Paul declared:
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32)
We are God's children. He loves us. His love for us is far better, richer, and deeper than our meager love for others. Rather than run from God in fear, we gladly bow before him in thanks, knowing that our Father who hears our prayers is also the one who loves us and yearns to calm our fears. And because of him, we have no fear in his love.
Mi oración
Padre Amado, gracias porque puedo darte reverencia sin temer a tu enojo. Gracias porque puedo respetar tu palabra y no temer mis limitaciones. Que tu amor produzca en mí una semejanza de tu santidad, justicia y misericordia, mucho más grande que todas las leyes, amenazas y jueces. Oro en el nombre poderoso de Jesús, quien me redimió del pecado y derramó su amor encima de mí. Amén.
My Prayer...
Loving Father, thank you that I can come to you as your beloved child without fear. I can come with tenderness and reverence, with neediness and confidence, with brokenness and awe. You are holy, majestic, and awe-inspiring, yet I do not have to be terrified to come to you with my inadequacies. May your love for me produce a closer likeness to your holiness, righteousness, justice, and mercy in me than any fear could ever cause. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, who ransomed me from sin and poured out his love upon me. Amen.
