"ayuno dos veces a la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que gano. Mas el publicano, estando lejos, no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que se golpeaba el pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio a mí, pecador.”
Lucas 18: 12-13 RVR1960
Fuimos salvados por la gracia y la misericordia, no por lo que hicimos. Por alguna razón, los seres humanos tienden a olvidar y a veces, caen en el síndrome de "lo haré, lo quiero, lo haré". Jesús simplemente quiere que siempre recordemos que fuimos salvos cuando no sabíamos que necesitábamos ser salvos. Sin embargo, Él vive intercediendo por nosotros, derramando Su bondad sobre nosotros. Dios busca a aquellos que entienden el sacrificio que Jesús hizo en la cruz. Es por la cruz que vivimos y "vivimos más abundantemente". Recuerde que todo depende de la voluntad de Jesús, lo que Jesús quiere, lo que Jesús hará.

Word of the Day
“I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
Luke 18:12-13
We were saved by Grace and mercy not by anything we did. For some reason human beings tend to forget and at times fall into the syndrome of “I will, I want, I will do”. Jesus simply wants us always to remember that we were saved when we didn’t know that we needed to be saved. Yet, He lives interceding for us, pouring His goodness upon us. God seeks those who understand the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. It’s because of the cross that we live and “live more abundantly”. Remember it’s all abouy Jesus’ will, Jesus’ wants, what Jesus will do.

Palabra Del Día
“Y a la medianoche se oyó un clamor: ¡Aquí viene el esposo; salid a recibirle!”
Mateo 25:6 RVR1960
Tal como lo dijeron los profetas: Jesús nació, murió y resucitó. Así como los profetas también dijeron que vendría otra vez. Jesús mismo dijo que volverá. Es bueno estar preparado; Jesús viene. Deberíamos esperar ese sonido de trompeta y escuchar: "Bien hecho, buen y fiel siervo". No deberíamos estar satisfechos hasta que escuchemos esas palabras.
Haga todo, escuela, negocios, vacaciones familiares, etc. pero asegúrese de que Jesús es nuestro centro de atención. No permita que las cosas de este mundo, personas o incluso usted mismo sea distracción de ninguna manera. Estemos seguros de mantenernos enfocados, orando sin cesar y asegurándonos de que la palabra esté viva en nosotros.

Word of the Day
“Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have accomplished together, but that you may receive a full and perfect reward [when He grants rewards to faithful believers].”
2 JOHN 1:8 AMP
Don't be a marathon runner that runs 6 hours, it's really hot, you get to the finish line but don't cross over. You just stand there looking at the line. If we're going to go through this effort of life, let's make sure we get to the finish line and cross over. Make sure we do everything we possibly can to stay focused on God. That every day is a Jesus-agenda driven day. Ancient prophets prophesied of the coming of a baby messiah and He came. They prophesied of His death and resurrection and it came to pass. Jesus said he is coming and we have to be prepared. Make sure you don't fall short.

Word of the Day
““And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’”
Matthew 25:6 NKJV
Just as the prophets said - Jesus was born, died and resurrected. Just as the prophets also said that he would come again. Jesus himself said that He will be coming back. It's good to be prepared; Jesus is coming. We should be waiting for that trumpet sound to hear, "well done good and faithful servant." We should not be satisfied until we hear those words.
Do school, business, family vacations, etc but make sure that Jesus is our focus. Don’t allow the things of this world, people, or even yourself, to distract you in anyway. Let's make sure we remain focused, praying without ceasing, and making sure the word is alive in us.

Palabra Del Día
"Y si en algo te dañó, o te debe, ponlo a mi cuenta. Yo Pablo lo escribo de mi mano, yo lo pagaré; por no decirte que aun tú mismo te me debes también."
Filemón 1:18 RVR1960
¿Tenemos esta mentalidad como Jesús? Cada vez que leo esto, me autoexamino y siempre me quedo a medias. Gracias a Dios por la gracia y la misericordia que nos lleva a tener compasión por los demás. La vida puede ser bastante ocupada y tener distracciones, causando una falta de cuidado por los demás. El buscar, pedir, anhelar la compasión de Cristo nos mantendrá con una buena calificación aprobatoria de el autoexamen. Muchos milagros se hicieron cuando Jesús estuvo conmovido. Ayuda a los demás, enriquece tu espíritu.

“But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account;”
PHILEMON 1:18 AMP
Do we have this mindset like Jesus? Whenever I read this it makes me do a self examination and I always fall short. Thank God for Grace and mercy that leads us to have compassion for others. Life can be pretty busy and distracting causing a lack of caring for others. Seeking, asking for, and hungering for the compassion of Christ will keep us with a good, passing grade on the self examination. Many miracles were done when Jesus was moved with compassion. Help others, it enriches your spirit.
