Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
La pregunta más importante en nuestra vida es simplemente esta: ¿Tenemos algo por lo que vivir que es también algo por lo que moriríamos? La respuesta de Pablo es "¡Sí!" Cristo es la respuesta, la razón y la esperanza. Si podemos alinear nuestra voluntad y corazón en este compromiso, también podremos repetir la misma frase.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The ultimate question in each of our lives is simply this: Do we have something to live for that is also worth dying for? As Paul faced possible death in prison, his answer was "Yes!" He could boldly and honestly say, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Christ was his answer, reason for living, and hope beyond death. Our faith should lead us to say something similar or we don't have a hope that won't perish, spoil, or fade kept for us in heaven (1 Peter 1:4). Please, dear friend in Jesus, I am praying that you and I can celebrate together in the presence of our Lord Jesus when we are made like him as we see him as he genuinely is in glory (1 John 3:1-3; Colossians 3:1-4).
Mi oración
Oh Señor, perdóname por las cosas que he hecho o he dicho que han hecho la obra de Cristo más difícil de verse en mí. En los años que me das en esta tierra, quiero que mi vida sea un testimonio de Jesús y su gracia poderosa. Anhelo el día, Amado Padre, cuando Cristo venga victorioso a llevarme para estar en tu casa. Hasta ese día, utilízame en tu servicio. Venga lo que venga, estoy agradecido porque sé que mi futuro está en Cristo, tu hijo y mi Salvador. En el nombre de Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
O Lord, please forgive me for the things I have done or said that made the work of Christ in me more difficult for others to see. As many years as you give me on our "tiny blue planet," I want to be a living testimony to Jesus and his powerful grace. I look forward to the day Christ comes in victory to bring me home to you. Until that day, please use me in your service to bring others to faith in Jesus and share in his future. I am thankful that no matter what you have in store for me. I am confident you have joined my future to your victorious Son and my Savior. I pray in his name, with great expectation and hope. Amen.
