Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios está trabajando en nosotros para hacer conformar nuestro carácter y que sea como el suyo. Dios es un dador. Se goza en bendecirnos ricamente. Ahora nos pide que hagamos lo mismo. El dar no es una tarea arbitraria para dar apoyo a las iglesias y ministerios. No, el dar forma parte de la transformación de nuestro carácter, para que sea más como el de Dios. Quizá es una de las maneras más profundas que tenemos para poner nuestra lealtad, dependencia y prioridades en la obra de Dios.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God is working in us to conform our character and will to be like his own. God is a giver. God finds delight in generously blessing us. When we praise God for his grace, we are praising him for his gracious gift of love given to us in Jesus. He's a giver! Now he asks us to be like him: to be generous and full of grace. Giving is not an arbitrary task imposed on us to fund our churches and ministries; instead, giving is part of our character transformation as we become more and more like God. Giving to others in need and to the work of the Kingdom is one of the most genuine ways we demonstrate our allegiance, dependence, and participation in the gracious work of God. We are most like God when we give... lovingly... cheerfully! Remember how the most famous verse in the Bible begins? "For God so loved the world that he GAVE..."
Mi oración
Padre, perdóname por las veces que no he sido caritativo con la abundancia que me has dado. Haz de mí una vía de bendiciones. Sé que todo lo que tengo es tuyo. Por favor ayúdame a utilizarlo como tu harías. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Father, please forgive me for the times I have been miserly with the abundance you have shared with me. Open my heart to the richness of your generosity. Use me as a conduit of your generous blessings, bringing them to others. I know that all I have is yours. Please help me use it as you would, lovingly and generously sharing it with others. In Jesus' name, I yearn to be gracious and generous like you, my Father. Amen.
