Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Hacer lo correcto a veces es difícil. Parece mucho más fácil chismear acerca de otra persona que nos ha hecho algún mal o mencionarlos en alguna oración pública o dejar caer alguna palabra sutil para ellos. Pero hay una sola cosa correcta de hacer cuando nos sentimos heridos por otro hermano. Ir a ellos. Hablar con ellos. Mantener el daño limitado a los dos y buscar la manera de reconciliarse. Esto es el deseo de Dios y debe ser nuestra meta como sus hijos.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The right thing to do can also be the very hardest thing to do. Many of us find it much easier to gossip about someone who has wronged us than to obey Jesus. But one thing is the right thing when we have been wounded by the action of another brother or sister in Christ. Jesus commanded us to go to the person who has wronged us, try to keep the damage contained to just the two of us, and work on being reconciled with each other. Satan lives in the festering and poisonous places in our hearts where unforgiveness and resentment reside. God's desire, and what should be our goal as his children, is reconciliation that is personal, face-to-face, and genuine. Our desire to be reconciled to our offending brother or sister "for whom Christ died" (Romans 14:15-16; 1 Corinthians 8:11) must be stronger than our desire for revenge or getting even. Redemption must be our motivation, and Jesus' commands must be our guide!
Mi oración
Señor Dios Todopoderoso, perdona a mis tonterías y egoísmo. Dame el coraje de enfrentar a los que han pecado contra mí. Si no puedo llegar a una reconciliación, ayúdame con tu Espíritu Santo a perdonar como me has perdonado. En el nombre de Jesús y por su sacrificio, amen. sacrificio oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Oh, Lord God Almighty, forgive my foolish and selfish ways. Please give me the courage to lovingly confront — or better yet, "carefront" — those who have sinned against me. If I cannot bring about reconciliation, help me through the power of your Holy Spirit, to forgive as you have forgiven me. In Jesus' name, and because of his atoning sacrifice for both my sins and their sins, I pray. Amen.
