Feeding on the TRUTH

"Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, 

O LORD, God of hosts" Jer 15:16




Sometimes we find ourselves lacking joy, peace, love in our lives... these elements are for our souls what vitamins are for our body. Whenever we lack some type of vitamin in our body, we need to put it IN our body somehow... either through pills or food! The same thing happens to our soul! Whenever we feel like there is something LACKING within... we can always go to our SOURCE, the WORD OF GOD and EAT HIS WORDS for us for they are SPIRIT & LIFE. Jesus said:

"...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, 
and they are life." John 6:63 

We need to remind ourselves WHO we are IN HIM and WHO He is. We ARE called by His name, that means: we are His possession and there is nothing more beautiful and powerful than to belong to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE and KING OF ALL. There is nothing He doesn´t have dominion over!

In Hebrew, the verb to be called (Original Word: קָרָא Transliteration: qara) has one of its meaning: to become famous! We are not the tail, we are the HEAD for we are called by His name, Jesus who rules over all things!

THIS is THE TRUTH ABOUT US, no matter what our REALITY shows us!

Learning to manage time...

To every thing there is a season,  and a time to every purpose under the heaven... Ecclesiastes 3:1  Nowadays one of people´s greatest excuses is: "I don´t have time". But it really amazes me  how that Jesus seemed to have time to every little and big thing as he walked on earth! It is interesting to think that, besides all the daily concerns people normally have (working, making the bed, doing the dishes, being with family...), Jesus was here on earth as GOD as well, so we could sum up some more  concerns there!  YET, he was not moved by schedules, but by love and compassion.  When Jesus saw her, He felt great compassion for her,  and said to her, “Do not weep.”  Luke 7:13 It amazes me how that he would manage his agenda. A number of times we read passages showing that he made his communion with the Father his priority! The success of the rest of the day depended on this time of his day.  Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,

Taking delight in God´s will...

Image
I often wondered why it seemed to be so hard for us to accept God´s will.  Thinking about this, two things come to my mind: 1) Most of the time we are convinced that our own plans are the BEST way to attain our goals, to reach that place of peace and happiness; 2) We are not aware of God´s LOVE and the fact that every bit of His will has its root in HIS DEEP LOVE towards us. We have been deceived by being led to think that God only displays his will in order to mess up with our own plans. Submitting to his will often sounds like we are being nulyfied; it is usually not taken as a reason for joy, but for sorrow. BUT all that is NOT even close to THE TRUTH about God´s will for our lives. Again: we must remember that ALL HIS WILL IS ROOTED IN HIS DEEP LOVE FOR US!... We are HIS CHILDREN and every good father´s will is to do ALL HE CAN in order to cause his child to live an ABUNDANT LIFE, to prosper in ALL their ways and to be HAPPY.  So everything starts with t

Being a living magnet: attracting good things...

Surely goodness and mercy  shall follow me all the days of my life...  Psalm 23:6 One of the greatest issues in our hearts is doubting. It is like we KNOW in a way that God is good and He blesses us in many ways but we usually see it as a matter of SEASONS. There are seasons when we are happy, healthy, blessed... others not so! and this causes us not to be so SURE that things will be alright all the time .  But king David, even after facing great hardships (riots, persecution, betrayals), he would NOURISH one THOUGHT in his heart: THE ASSURANCE that God´s goodness and love would follow him ALL THE DAYS of his life. The only weapon against doubt is assurance. So we can always fight doubts in our hearts by simply declaring "SURELY his goodness and mercy will follow me"... We also see the prophet Isaiah teaching us such truth concerning our health (physical and emotional):  -Surely- he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows... (Isaiah 53:4)
