Don´t listen to them, just trust Jesus!





 Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, 
“Don’t listen to them; just trust me.” 
Mark 5:36

These are the words of Jesus to a man called Jairus whose daughter was dead. Jairus came to Jesus to ask him to heal his daughter while she was still alive, but by the time they got back to his house people announced that she was dead, therefore there was no need to bother Jesus any further. 



We should know that Jesus is deeply touched by things that matter to us!! He is never late and even when it seems like things got to its DEAD POINT, that there is no solution... Jesus is ALWAYS THE SOLUTION! There is nothing he can´t do, there is no situation he cannot change! 



The world around us and even friends and family will try to tell us that THE GAME IS OVER, there is no HOPE. But JESUS HIMSELF IS OUR HOPE. 



Sometimes the wisest thing to do is to be deaf to the world and what they say when their words don´t build us up or cause us to trust Jesus more. Whenever such words cause us to feel discouraged and lose our hope and faith, that is a good time to choose not to listen to what people say. 



So, whenever FACTS or PEOPLE try to show you realities that will sadden your heart in a way that will bring you to a HOPELESS point, don´t give ear to that... but LISTEN to Jesus saying within you "trust me!". 
"My son, pay attention to what I say;
    turn your ear to my words.
 Do not let them out of your sight,
    keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
    and health to one’s whole body."
Proverbs 4:20-23

Jesus´ words will never bring us down but are mighty to give health to our whole body, be it a physical or emotional condition. 

Whenever we face a hard situation, let us shut our ears to what people say about it and let us open our hearts to what Jesus is saying to us. 


 "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"  
Romans 8:31-32

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)

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
