Y sigo aprendiendo...
Así que uno planta su propio jardín y decora su propia alma, en lugar de esperar a que alguien le traiga flores.

Beautiful Irritations
Tomado de GIRLFRIENDS IN GOD
Mary Southerland
Today's Truth
Isaiah 45:3 "I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places so that you may know that I am the LORD, your God (NIV).
Friend to Friend
Life can be so irritating. More often than not, it is the little things that annoy me the most. The lost set of keys. The misplaced cell phone. The ice-maker that refuses to do its job on a hot summer day. The empty tea pitcher stuck back in the refrigerator. But then there are times when people are the problem. They show up uninvited or call when I am running out the door, already late for an appointment that I really don't have time to keep. Been there?
I am convinced that these tiny irritations are a tool in the hand of a loving Father who uses them as "heavenly sandpaper" to rub off some of our rough edges.
I was invited to speak for a women's conference based on the theme, "Pearls of Wisdom." When I arrived at the conference center, I was greeted by women wearing pearl necklaces, pearl bracelets, pearl pins, hats covered in multicolored pearls ... you name it, and they wore it if it had pearls. Each table was beautifully decorated with treasure chests overflowing with strands of pearls. Oyster shells held candy mints that looked like pearls and each name tag was decorated with a single pearl. It was amazing!
I was warmly welcomed and then promptly introduced to the event director and leadership team who were excited and ready to go - except for one problem. I was "pearl-less." I was quickly told that the speaker hadto wear pearls of some kind. I did not have any pearls but this creative group of ladies was not easily deterred and before I knew it, I was wearing a stunning pearl necklace - and the pearls were the real deal. I could just see that necklace breaking while I was speaking, but before I could utter one word of protest, the owner of the necklace said, "Don't worry! You can just give it back to me at the end of the conference." And off we went!
I am what you might call an "active" speaker in that I cannot stand still and talk at the same time. I get excited, pace the stage, arms waving and can literally work up quite a sweat. The "Pearls of Wisdom" conference was no exception. In fact, it was a blistering summer day and the air conditioning was having trouble keeping up with the size of the crowd. By the time I finished speaking, I was indeed "glowing." When we were dismissed for the day, women waited in line to talk, ask for prayer or share a new truth God had given them. I forgot all about the pearl necklace until its owner quietly slipped up beside me and said, "I have to leave and need to retrieve my necklace." As she began to undo the necklace clasp, I apologized for perspiring all over her beautiful pearls. She laughed and said, "Actually, it is good for them. Human perspiration helps the pearls keep their luster."
I am constantly amazed at the profound truths God has tucked into the simple things of life. Pearls are formed when a piece of grit, sand or shell is trapped inside an oyster. The oyster protects itself from irritation by secreting a nacreous liquid that surrounds the irritant until it eventually becomes a pearl. In other words, what begins as an annoying irritant eventually becomes a valuable treasure. The same is true in life.
Looking back, I can honestly say that the greatest treasures in my life have been discovered during the darkest times of my life. A battle with clinical depression stripped away years of fear and doubt, leaving me with a new identity in Christ and a ministry I never thought possible. The inability to have biological children made it possible to adopt our son and daughter, Jered and Danna, giving my husband and me a gift beyond measure. Over the years, weaknesses have given way to strengths and failures have led to successes and God has used it all for His glory and my good.
In God's economy, a mess is the perfect setting for a miracle, girlfriend. A sliver of hope and a seed of victory are buried at the center of every problem. God has gone before you. He has already been where you are going and in every trial or difficult moment of life, God has buried a treasure. When the tough times come, just look for the pearls.
Let's Pray
Father, I am so sorry for the way I complain about my circumstances. Please forgive me for my bad attitude when things don't go my way. I want to see Your hand in every part of every day - good or bad. Help me learn how to face every storm with confidence, knowing that You really are in control even though I cannot hear Your voice or see Your hand at work. May others see You in my life.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Huir - Desarrollo Cristiano.com


¿Nunca se sintió tentado a huir de Dios? Claro, usted no se subiría a un barco, ni tomaría un avión para alejarse de la presencia del Altísimo. Al igual que el salmista, usted y yo podemos exclamar: «¿A dónde me iré de tu Espíritu? ¿Y a dónde huiré de tu presencia?» (Salmos 139.7). Todos sabemos que es imposible huir de su presencia, porque él está en todos lados.
Piense usted, sin embargo, en estas situaciones. Una persona no quiere ir a las reuniones de la congregación porque sabe que está en pecado, y teme serconfrontado. Otra persona evita pasar por un lugar donde sabe que se encuentra un hermano, porque tendrá que pedirle perdón por algo que ha hecho. Una tercera persona posterga ir a una encuentro de misiones porque sabe que habrá un llamado a un compromiso, y teme las consecuencias de asumirlo.
Aún más, otra persona resiste las invitaciones a ser parte de un proceso dediscipulado, porque sabe que de hacerlo tendrá que comenzar a rendir cuentas por su vida.Lo que no es aceptable, es dejar que nuestra voluntad imponga sus deseos sobre el rumbo que hemos de tomar.En cada una de estos casos, las personas están evitando una situación porque no desean hacer algo que saben que el Señor requerirá de ellos. No podrán seguir caminando con él si no obedecen. En últimas instancias cada uno de ellas están «huyendo», a su manera, de la presencia de Dios.
El deseo de querer huir viene en esos momentos en el cual se desata una fuerte lucha entre nuestros deseos y la voluntad declarada del Señor. Ni siquiera el Hijo de Dios fue librado de esta batalla. En Getsemaní, abrió su corazón al Padre y le dijo, con absoluta franqueza: «¡si existe alguna otra manera de hacer esto, por favor muéstramelo!»
Necesitamos saber que este tipo de conflictos interiores son parte del precio que debemos pagar por seguirle a él. Es normal experimentarlos. Lo que no es aceptable, es dejar que nuestra voluntad imponga sus deseos sobre el rumbo que hemos de tomar. No es aceptable, en primer lugar, porque alimenta la esencia de rebeldía que cada uno de nosotros heredamos de Adán. Pero en segundo lugar, no es aceptable porque no es posible evadir lavoluntad de Dios, al menos si nuestro compromiso con él es serio.
Podemos postergar por un tiempo poner por obra lo que Dios nos está llamando a hacer. No dude por un instante, sin embargo, que si el Señor ha puesto su mano sobre nuestras vidas él nos irá a buscar no importa donde nos «escondamos». Jonás es el ejemplo perfecto de esta verdad.
Para pensar:
¿Cuántos dolores de cabeza le producen a usted esas situaciones donde se demora en hacer lo que Dios está pidiendo? ¿Cómo puede acortar el tiempo que pasa entre recibir instrucciones del Padre y hacer lo que él manda?¿Cuáles son las áreas de su vida donde más lucha con hacer lo que Dios le manda?

Contar los amigos
Aún no entiendo sí es ventaja o desventaja saber que tus amigos REALMENTE los cuentas con los dedos de las manos y a veces una mano es suficiente.
