Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Estar con depresión y estar insatisfecho con la vida puede darse por muchas cosas. Para muchos, sin embargo, son síntomas de estar demasiado enfocado en nosotros mismos. Hemos olvidado ver nuestras bendiciones, hemos olvidado agradecer a Dios y hemos olvidado cantarle alabanzas, olvidando a su vez ayudar a los que nos rodean. Pensar en los demás es vivir como Jesús. Cuando seguimos a su ejemplo, nuestras acciones hacen una diferencia en las vidas de todos los que bendecimos. También nos bendecimos a la vez. Dejemos de mirarnos a nosotros mismos y busquemos maneras de bendecir a nuestro prójimo.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Being disappointed and dissatisfied with life can stem from a myriad of problems. For many of us, however, these disappointments are symptoms that we have focused too much on ourselves and have allowed ourselves to become angry with life. We have forgotten to count our blessings, neglected to give thanks to God, grown silent in our praise to our Father, and quit helping those around us. Thinking of others is how Christ lived. When we follow his example, our actions make a difference in the lives of those we bless, and we find ourselves immensely blessed as well. Let's get our focus off ourselves and look to bless our neighbors! As the ancient Christian hymn reminds us:
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross! (Philippians 2:6-8)
Mi oración
Dios santo y sin igual, ayúdame ver las heridas y dificultades en las vidas que me rodean. Utilízame para bendecir a los que quienes con desesperación necesitan experimentar tu amor y gracia. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and matchless God, help me see the brokenness, hurt, and difficulties in the lives around me. I ask for the Spirit's help to humble myself and find ways to bless others who so desperately need to experience your love and grace. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
