“I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.”
— Psalm 31:7-8 (NIV)

“The first thing that waiting on God means is this: before you make one peep of an effort to solve your own problem or hire a human agency, pray.”
— John Piper
¿Hilo Carmesí o escarlata?
La creación manifiesta la sabiduría de Dios y su eterna deidad, algunas culturas han captado un poco de ella, la muestran a través de fábulas y leyendas. En los post siguientes podrán encontrar referencias a este hilo carmesí; no es lo mismo que el hilo rojo pero no dista tanto.
Se cuenta que antes del tiempo, el romance nació bajo la tenue luz, la historia de amor más antigua Dios y su creación, conversan y disfrutan. El mal los acecha, no lo soporta. Con palabrerías confunde el corazón de la amada: No es amor lo que necesitas, es poder.
El hambre de poder nublo su vista, botó sus oídos, ató sus manos y cauterizó su conciencia, muerta en vida tras el primer bocado. A lo lejos se escuchaba la sentencia: ¡Muerte!
Llevada ante el concilió aquel que la había envuelto con palabras la acusa: Merece la muerte por tan infame actitud. El concilio asiente, la ley es clara, la paga del pecado es muerte y debe beber la copa de ira.
Antes de beber el primer sorbo, su amado se interpuso: Ella es mía y yo soy suyo. Si ha de morir yo lo haré por ella, beberé la copa de ira. Aquellas palabras resonaron en la eternidad: muerte por vida, vida por muerte; impulsada por amor.
Mientras el bebía la copa de ira, un rayo de luz traspaso la profundidad del Seol en que se encontraba, regreso en sí, al pronunciar su nombre renació. Vestida con tejido de seda y brocado de oro, contemplaba la hermosura de su amado. Era demasiado tarde, la sangre se había derramado. Cubrió la creación, señalando el camino de regreso a su amado.
Uno de los momentos más tristes del tiempo, aquellos predestinados a ser uno, tuvieron que separarse por un suspiro en la eternidad. Una promesa los mantiene unidos: Estás esculpida en la palma de mi mano y yo seré un sello en tu corazón.
Tras beber la copa de ira sus manos quedaron marcadas y un hilo carmesí brotaba cuál sangre, uniendo a la creación, señalando el camino a la vida. Piedad, devoción, amor sin medida. Este hilo carmesí nos guía a través del tiempo para reencontrarnos con Él
“The day of our death is the day of our glorification. Death is the grand entrance, the door that swings into eternity. Eventually it will open in God’s time and in God’s way to let another child come home where he or she belongs.”

“Al ser humano se le están CERRANDO LOS SENTIDOS, cada vez requiere más INTENSIDAD, como los sordos. NO VEMOS lo que no tiene la iluminación de la pantalla, NI OÍMOS lo que no llega a nosotros cargado de decibeles, NI OLEMOS perfumes. Ya ni las flores los tienen”

“Dios nos crea libres, libres para ser egoístas, pero agrega un mecanismo que penetrará nuestro egoísmo y nos despertará a la presencia de otros en este mundo, y ese mecanismo se llama SUFRIMIENTO”

“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”
— CS Lewis
“God wants you to be so balanced in spiritual anointing that you will always be able to do what pleases Him, and not what will please other people or yourself. … If you wish to be anything for God, do not miss His plan. God has no room for you on ordinary lines. You must realize that within you, there is the power of the Holy Spirit, who is forming within you everything you require.”
— Smith Wigglesworth, in Tongues Of Fire
“There is more grace in God’s heart than there is sin in your past.”

“When we shoot an arrow, we look to the fall of it; when we send a ship to sea, we look for the return of it; and when we sow seed, we look for a harvest; and so when we sow our prayers into God’s bosom, shall we not look for an answer?”

“Take time to be holy. The word holy does not mean goody-goody; it means set apart for sacred use. As you focus your mind and heart on Jesus, you are being transformed; re-created into the one you were designed to be. This process requires blocks of time set aside with the Lover of your soul. Emotional and physical healing are enhanced by your soaking in the Light of His Presence. You become a cleansed temple of His Holy Spirit, who is able to do in and through you immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. These are just some of the benefits of being still in His Presence, who gives you an understanding of God’s Purpose for your life so you can bear Kingdom fruit. Meditation: Beware of seeing yourself through other people’s eyes. There are several dangers to this practice. First of all, it is nearly impossible to discern what others actually think of you. Moreover, their views of you are variable: subject to each viewer’s spiritual, emotional, and physical condition. The major problem with letting others define you is that it borders on idolatry. Your concern to please others dampens your desire to please Him, your Creator. It is much more real to see yourself through His eyes. His gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through His eyes you can see yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. Rest in His loving gaze, and you will receive deep Peace. Respond to His loving Presence by worshiping Him in spirit and in truth. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” - Hebrews 11:6“ “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” - John 4:23–24”
