Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Es tan fácil juzgar a los demás. No conocemos sus luchas. No conocemos su situación. Más que nada, no conocemos sus corazones. Cuando somos duros con nuestros juicios, construimos una barrera entre nosotros y ellos. A veces repartimos estos juicios duros a los demás en chismes. Al solo juzgarlos levantamos una barrera, un obstáculo que puede hacerles perder toda esperanza.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It is so easy to be judgmental of others. We must remember that we don't know their struggles, circumstances, or discouragements. Most of all, we don't know their hearts. When we are judgmental, we erect a barrier between others and ourselves as we set ourselves up as superior to a brother or sister for whom Christ Jesus died! If we are not careful, we can spread our judgmental impression of them to others in gossip. Our stubbornness to only view them with a judgmental spirit erects a stumbling block that can lead them to become discouraged and cause them to stumble. Jesus warns us sternly about such a damaging practice (Matthew 18:6-7). Let's set our minds on being an encouragement and blessing to our brothers and sisters and not put an obstacle in the way of others.
Mi oración
Padre, ayúdame con mi actitud hacia los demás. Ayúdame a ser más paciente con sus fracasos, así como tú eres paciente con los míos. Perdóname por no demonstrar un espíritu positivo a los que son débiles. Perdóname por poner obstáculos en los caminos de los demás. Ayúdame ser una bendición. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Father, I ask you to conform my attitude toward others to match the redemptive grace you have for them. I want to be more patient with the failures of others, just as you are patient with mine. Please forgive me for not being more encouraging to those who are weak and struggling. Open my eyes to the ways I can be a blessing. Forgive me for being a hindrance to others. Open my heart to share your blessings with them. Please use me as your instrument of grace and encouragement, never as a selfish stumbling block to one of your precious children. In Jesus' name, I ask to grow in these graces. Amen.
