    La gratitud es necesaria

    Es la gratitud lo que abre nuestro corazón, lo que derriba nuestros muros y lo que nos vuelve hacia el Dador. Sin gratitud, nos encerramos en nosotros mismos, atrapados en nuestra propia soledad, y todo se vuelve aburrido y plano.

    The victory that overcomes the world? Our faith.

    The solution to evil is faith. But what does that even mean?

    El dinero y mi corazón duro

    El problema en nuestro Evangelio hoy no es el dinero. Pero la causa y la raíz del problema es. El problema es la dureza del corazón. La causa es amor por el dinero. Y el resultado es que los pobres son olvidados.

    When Trust Is Broken

    When trust is broken or destroyed, the process to healing is difficult and long and unclear.

    This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.

    It is the Pharisees and scribes who, unbeknownst to them, proclaim the good news: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

    Éste recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos.

    Son los fariseos y los escribas quienes, sin saberlo, proclaman las buenas nuevas: “Éste recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos.”

    The Law of Discipleship

    Jesus bluntly and unequivocally rejects this “forge your own path” mentality. And he lays down the “Law of Discipleship” and says, “Hating one’s family, taking up our cross/suffering/discomfort, renouncing our possessions. That’s what it’s going to take.”

    La Ley del Discipulado

    Jesús rechaza sin rodeos e inequívocamente que esta mentalidad de “forja tu propio camino”. Y él establece la “Ley del Discipulado” y dice:”Odiando a la familia, asumiendo nuestra cruz/sufrimiento/incomodidad, renunciando a nuestras posesiones. Eso es lo que va a tomar.”

    “Will you let me love you as you are?”

    Being humble is the pre-condition for receiving the love and mercy and life of God. We all need to picture the Lord before us, and picture him asking us, “Will you let me love you as you are?”

    “¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”

    Ser humilde es la condición previa para recibir el amor, la misericordia y la vida de Dios. Todos necesitamos imaginar al Señor delante de nosotros, y preguntándonos: “¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”
