Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Supongo que podríamos llamarlo la ironía de ser discípulo. Seguir a Cristo significa sacrificarlo todo. Seguir a Cristo significa que recibimos bendiciones sin número en esta vida y en la vida eterna con Dios. Es ¿difícil? Sí, a veces. Pero la vida misma es difícil. ¿Es la carga liviana como Jesús lo prometió? Sí, porque sabemos que no hemos vivido en vano; que estamos viviendo como Dios quiere y cuando la vida termine ¡no terminará! ¡Después podremos ir a casa y estar con nuestro Señor!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We could call it the irony of discipleship. To follow Jesus Christ means that we surrender everything and follow Him. To follow Christ means that we receive untold blessings in this life and eternal life with God in the life to come. So is it hard? Yes, sometimes it is very challenging, downright exhausting, and at certain times, filled with rejection and persecution. Jesus said it would be that way at times. And let's be honest, life is hard. So, can our burden be light as Jesus promised? Yes, because we do not live our lives in vain, and we are living life as God intended us to live. Our efforts make a difference, and we get to meet incredible people whom we will know forever. Then, when our life is over on this earth, it isn't really over! We get to go home and be with our Lord in the glory, and our Savior will welcome us home. Our souls will find rest, and every burden will be lifted just as every tear will be dried!
Mi oración
Oh Dios, dame coraje para enfrentar los desafíos que me tocan. Dame la caridad que necesito para tratar con los que me rodean. Dame humildad para darte gracias por todas las bendiciones que me das. Dame claridad para ver que vivir para Jesús es el mejor de todas las posibilidades. En el nombre del Señor Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Please give me courage, O God, to face the challenges that I must confront. Give me charity to deal appropriately with those I meet. Give me thankfulness for all that you have done to bless me. Give me the foresight to see that living for Jesus is the best of all choices. As I walk this road of discipleship, dear Lord, please give me the rest I need to continue boldly, faithfully, and passionately. I trust that you will bring me home to you in glory, and I will find my rest in your presence, where your grace and glory will erase every pain, burden, and hardship. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I praise and thank you. Amen.
