Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Ofrecernos a Dios no es fácil porque significa que primero tenemos que morir a nuestra propia voluntad egoísta. Como hizo Jesús en el Jardín de Getsemaní, enfrentamos nuestra propia cruz y nos encontramos obligados a gritar, "que no sea lo que yo quiero, sino lo que quieres tú".
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Offering ourselves to God isn't a one-time event. We learned that yesterday — we offer ourselves, we offer our bodies to God as a living sacrifices (Romans 12:1). We are committing to die to our selfish wills and follow Jesus daily, obeying him as we live to honor him. As the Lord Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane with the Father, we must face our daily challenge to "take up [my] cross daily," putting our selfish wills on the cross, and crying out, "Not my will, but yours be done," Abba Father (Luke 22:42).
Mi oración
Amado Padre, gracias por mandar a Jesús como mi salvador. Señor Jesús, quiero seguirte a ti. No quiero hacerlo a medias o de manera hipócrita. Quiero que tu vida se demuestre en la mía. Te pido que tiernamente me demuestres donde mi corazón necesita ser moldeado por tu Espíritu para que pueda reflejar más fielmente tu gloria, gracia y carácter a los que me rodean. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Dear Father, thank you for sending Jesus as my Savior. Lord Jesus, I want to follow you completely. I don't want it to be half-hearted or hypocritical. I yearn for your life to be seen in me each day. So please, Lord, humble me gently, and show me the areas where I need to soften my heart and have the Spirit shape my character, so that I can more perfectly reflect your glory, grace, and character to those around me. In Jesus' name, I ask for the Father's help in taking up my cross and following the way of Jesus, each and every day. Amen.
