Reflections, studies and news for your walk with God.
Jesus, I want to learn from You how to live in communion with the Father. Often, I try to walk alone, make my own decisions, and find strength within myself, but Your life showed me a different path. Even though You are God, You chose to live in complete dependence and communion with the Father.

The Bible presents us with two simultaneous truths: Jesus is fully God and fully man. "He who is the Word became flesh and lived among us" (John 1:14). He did not cease to be God when He became man. He entered our reality and experienced the human condition: He felt hunger, fatigue, sadness, He wept, and He suffered. He was tempted, but He never sinned.

God's questions are not asked because He is unaware of the answer; He knows everything, but He desires to make us see what, on our own, we might not be able to perceive. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah arrives at a place of deep exhaustion, fear, and loneliness. After facing the prophets of Baal and experiencing a great manifestation of God's power, he is now hidden in a cave, even wishing to die.

God, I thank You for the freedom I have to know Your Word, to open the Scriptures, to hear about You, and to share the Gospel. I know that I often treat this privilege as something common, but today I want to recognize how precious it is. Lead me to places where Your Word encounters closed doors. May I not remain indifferent in the face of barriers that try to prevent Your Word from acting.

Did you know that there are still places where the Word of God is not received freely? What are we doing with the freedom we have to proclaim it?

God, I acknowledge that I often look for in the eyes of others what only You can give me. I seek approval, praise, and acceptance, and sometimes I allow the opinion of those around me to determine who I think I am.

It is good to be loved. It is good to know that we are cherished, respected, and welcomed. The problem begins when the desire to be accepted ceases to be just a wish and turns into a necessity. When the approval of others starts to determine our choices, our identity, and even the way we see ourselves.

Lord, I acknowledge that there are pains I cannot explain and questions for which I may never find an answer. But, in the midst of everything I do not understand, I want to remember that I was not created to walk alone. Draw near to me and also to those around me. May Your presence be at the center of my relationships so that, even when life seems difficult, I may find in the fellowship of my brothers and sisters a place of welcome, care, and hope.

There are questions that arise when pain arrives. Why did this happen? Why did God allow it? Why did a tragedy strike that particular person? Faced with disasters, accidents, losses, and suffering, it is natural to try to find an explanation. But not every pain has a “why” that we will be able to understand.

We are always returning to speed, comfort, and entertainment. We want experiences that captivate us, immediate answers, and environments that do not demand too much of us. Gradually, we can carry this same logic into the church and begin to expect that the service entertains us, pleases us, and ends quickly so that we can move on to our other plans.

Father, I know that I, too, have often denied Jesus. Perhaps not with words, but with choices, attitudes, omissions, and moments when I was ashamed to demonstrate my faith. Forgive me when the fear of being rejected spoke louder than the desire to remain faithful to You. Give me courage not to hide Your name and to remember that it is a privilege to feel discomfort for choosing to follow Christ in a world that often rejects what comes from You.

I used to think it was absurd that Peter denied Jesus three times. How could someone who had walked so closely with Him, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teachings, under pressure, say he did not know Him? That was until I realized that, many times, I have also denied Jesus. Perhaps not with words, but with choices, attitudes, omissions, and moments where I preferred to hide my faith.

Previously, I spoke about the moments when we are the lost sheep and others when we are the prodigal son. But in both cases, the Lord remains available to us, knocking at the door.

There are different ways to drift away from God. Sometimes, we do not realize we are getting lost. Other times, we know exactly where we are and, even so, we choose to walk away. Jesus revealed this difference through two stories that speak deeply about the heart of God: the lost sheep and the prodigal son.

We often seek messages that confirm our desires, but God desires to give us a Word that transforms our hearts. True love does not hide the truth; it confronts us to set us free.
