Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
La disciplina, aun cuando no se confunde con castigo, se considera una cosa negativa, irritante e innecesaria. La parte perezosa y pecaminosa no quiere límites, aun si son buenos; tampoco dirección por si se contradice lo que queremos hacer. Pero el Señor nos disciplina con amor para bendecirnos. Es una señal de su gozo. ¿Por qué? Porque no está contento al dejarnos sin cambios, sin motivación y sin rumbo. Quiere movernos más cerca a nuestra meta: ¡Jesús!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Discipline is considered onerous, irritating, and unnecessary. The lazy and sinful parts of us want no boundaries, even if they are good. We resist any guardrails to our behavior because we do not wish to receive any direction that might conflict with what we want to do. But the Lord disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight in us. Why? Because he is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested in what real life is. He does not want to see us deceived, misled, or captured by the evil one's lying ways. He wants to move us closer to our goal: Jesus, and our eternal destiny with our Lord!
Mi oración
Confieso, Santo Padre, que no me gusta a la disciplina. Sin embargo, Padre, en realidad, sé que tu disciplina es para mi bien espiritual. Ayúdame a reconocer las situaciones en mi vida, utilizándolas para ser más como Jesús, en cuyo nombre oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
I confess, Righteous Father, that I don't like discipline. However, Father, deep down, I know that your discipline is for my spiritual good and eternal blessing. Please help me better understand and use the situations in my life that you use to discipline me, so that I can become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
