No, do not be surprised when you get to that crossroad.
This point is always doomed to be reached.
There is no exception, there is no way out of it.
So do not be surprised when you reach that cross road with another human being.
Just clearly recognize that you have arrived and just stop.
Recognize the situation, recognize the ones involved.
See yourself in the mirror, see your fellow human through the same mirror.
Do you see the problem?: Do you see your sinfulness? Do you see his/hers?
Be silent, knowing that from your mouth much evil can flow.
Breath and just stop.
It is not a matter of who did what? who said what? or who hurted whom?
But know that we will always reach that stage of disagreement in every relationship with another human being.
There is no way out of it.
Do you know that?
We are all selfish and evil human beings searching each their own desires.
We are prone to hurt each other, with no excuse.
So in every relationship this stage will be reached.
The stage where the crossroad is at the next step, each human wanting to follow the road that brings him/her most benefit, or the road that takes him/her away from the other human being that has hurten them.
Do you want to break up? Each to part your own way?
That would be so easy.
When you get to that crossroad you have two options:
either you each walk your own way and break up,
or you pray for the Spirit to take take over, HIS spirit.
Let the Spirit heal those wounds, heal those hearts, find humbleness and understnanding.
Find a way to bear with one another and love one another, just as Chrsit loved us when we were helpless sinners.
Know that there is a better way, HIS way.
Repent, Trust, Pray, Love, Forgive, and keep your eyes in the ONE who enlisted you.
It was never a question of IF we would reach that point of trouble?
but a question of WHEN we would reach it?
'but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'
Romans 5:8 ESV
'This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.'
John 15:12 ESV
'No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.'
2 Timothy 2:4 ESV
'And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.'
Genesis 8:21 ESV

No, no te sorprendas cuando llegues a esa encrucijada.
Este punto siempre está condenado a ser alcanzado.
No hay excepción, no hay forma de salir de él.
Así que no te sorprendas cuando llegues a esa encrucijada con otro ser humano.
Reconoce claramente que has llegado y detente.
Reconoce la situación, reconoce a los implicados.
Mírate en el espejo, mira a tu semejante a través del mismo espejo.
¿Ves el problema? ¿Ves tu pecaminosidad? ¿Ves la suya?
Guarda silencio, sabiendo que de tu boca puede salir mucho mal.
Respira y detente.
No se trata de saber quién hizo qué? quién dijo qué? o quién hirió a quién?
Pero sepa que siempre llegaremos a esa etapa de desacuerdo en cada relación con otro ser humano.
No hay forma de evitarlo.
¿Lo sabes?
Todos somos seres humanos egoístas y malvados buscando cada uno sus propios deseos.
Somos propensos a herirnos mutuamente, sin excusa.
Así que en toda relación se llegará a esta etapa.
La etapa en la que la encrucijada está en el siguiente paso, cada humano queriendo seguir el camino que le trae más beneficio, o el camino que lo aleja del otro ser humano que lo ha lastimado.
¿Quieren separarse? ¿Que cada uno se separe por su camino?
Eso sería muy fácil.
Cuando llegas a esa encrucijada tienes dos opciones
o cada uno sigue su propio camino y se separa,
o rezas para que el Espíritu se haga cargo, SU espíritu.
Dejen que el Espíritu sane esas heridas, sane esos corazones, encuentren humildad y comprensión.
Encuentren una manera de soportarse unos a otros y de amarse mutuamente, así como Cristo nos amó cuando éramos pecadores indefensos.
Sabed que hay un camino mejor, SU camino.
Arrepiéntanse, confíen, oren, amen, perdonen y mantengan sus ojos en AQUEL que los alistó.
Nunca fue una cuestión de SI llegaríamos a ese punto de problema?
sino una cuestión de ¿CUÁNDO lo alcanzaríamos? |
