Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
"El hablar es barato" "Me puedes decir con tus palabras, pero yo te mostraré con mi vida". Conocemos los lemas, ahora demostremos el amor de verdad. En un mundo donde el dar para recibir ha reemplazado el amor constante y generoso, vayamos contracorriente amando de verdad con nuestras palabras y acciones.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Talk is cheap!"
"You can tell me with your words all you want, but I won't believe it until I see it in your actions."
"It's time to put your life where your mouth is."
There are many slogans, but let's get down to the nitty-gritty and really live and love in truth. In a world where barter has replaced sacrificial, steadfast love, and as lust has become the modern definition of love, let's go against the cultural grain and truly love with our words and actions. Genuine love must be like God's love. It must involve emotion, commitment, and action. This is love in actions and in truth!
Mi oración
Padre generoso, confieso que a veces soy egoísta. En otras oportunidades tengo buenas intenciones, pero no soy constante. Te pido que utilices tu Espíritu para darme el poder de ser lo que espero ser en tu gloria. Que tu amor se demuestre en mis acciones genuinas hoy. Oro en el nombre de Jesús, amén.
My Prayer...
Sacrificial Father, I confess to you that at times I am selfish. Other times, my intentions are good, but my follow-through and faithfulness are lacking. I can sometimes have emotional love, but it never becomes part of my expressed love through my actions. So, I invite your Spirit to empower and enable* me to be what I hope to become: a genuine disciple of Jesus who loves with actions and truth. May your love be seen in my actions of genuine concern today. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
* Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-23.
