What is Your Interest
Reading Today: Matthew 5:13-16
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13-16

Wars, robberies, murders and other crimes are the cruel and inhuman side of people. Think about it, humans, being inhuman! However, there is another side to the coin. One of the mysteries of man is his desire to be interested in his fellow man and take care of him.

There are people sending help to other people in need in other parts of the world. They want, thereby to alleviating hunger, cure diseases, help those in their time of need and often in catastrophic circumstances.

Jesus told His disciples that they were the salt of the earth and light of the world. This brings a special responsibility over Christians; to take care of others. The gift of caring for others comes from God and reflects his will.

Jesus transmits the power of the energy that transforms a selfish humanity with no regard for others and cruel, in people who are genuinely interested in his fellow man, interest that leads to action.

The true disciple of Christ lives to serve. This is natural in life, where selfishness was defeated by the grace and love of Christ.

What is your interest?

Good And Evil
Today’s Reading: Proverbs 16:1-9 Version CEV
When a scientist discovers a new formula or a new invention, in most cases is attempting to make available some kind of benefit to mankind, providing a great service.

On the other hand, however, there is always someone waiting, ready to misuse the invention; to transform it into something bad, to change what was invented or created for good into something evil.

It seems that evil is part of humanity. Although God created man in his likeness, as time went by, man became and turned into something evil. It is impressive to see some people creating and others destroying.

Why does this happen? Perhaps because in man exists the selfish desire of supremacy, profit and power. To achieve certain goals, all means are justified, that is what they say.

How can a person, created in the image and likeness of God, let angels and at the same time demons influence him?

Our consolation, our comfort is to know that God guides the destiny of the universe and of our individual lives. Our hope is in God; through His Spirit He opens our hearts and His will becomes ours. Only then, good takes hold of our lives and dwells around us.
