Jesus is Life Eng Final
Today’s Reading: Matthew 6:25-27 Version ESV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A25-27&version=ESV

Millions and millions of years ago, some scientists say, a cell emerged and appeared. It was life. This tiny cell developed and constitutes all living species we have today.

Do you know what? It is inconceivable that life evolved in such an organized way, full of thousands of details, of beauty and perfection, without following a model of superior intelligence.

Did it happen all a sudden from an spontaneous and organised movement of matter? Impossible!

However, the biggest problem or dilemma is not the beginning of life but its end: death!

Jesus, arguing about our excessive concern about clothes, food and goods, asked: “Which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” Can the rich man buy with his money a few minutes of life? The answer is no! However, we think it could be done. We confuse life with material goods, with prestige, with appearance, pleasure and power. Again, Jesus tells us to beware of all types of greed, because the real life of a person does not depend on the things he has, even if they are many.

In Jesus we find origin, meaning and continuation of life. Even if you die, you will live!

In God's Hands
Today’s Reading:  John 10:28-29, Isaiah 49:15-16, Isaiah 62:3 Version NIV

Men let themselves be led by appearances, but God sees and knows the heart. He sees the real reasons why we fight and live. God knows our intentions and does not forsake us in our desire to see his love and forgiveness take over the world.

Every time we stand at the service of good, great and wonderful things happen in our lives. The first is the interior restoration; the second, total contempt for earthly things; and third, a deep and genuine feeling of respect and worship to God.

Every morning, God gives us a new chance to live. According to his divine providence, we are located where we can apply his will, carry out good deeds and spread his love. This is the life that gives us meaning, meaning not by appearance, but by security, not of anxiety but of a hopeful future.

God is watching us and is moved by those who show confidence to leave all our future in his hands. In whose hands is your future?

Self Esteem

self-esteem
Today’s Reading: Matthew 6:25
We live in a cruel and inhuman world. It is difficult, therefore, to say who is good and who is useless. Everything looks the same. And we begin to think that way about ourselves; in the end what are we? Or worse, we feel rejected, cast aside, ignored.

For many people, life has lost meaning. Then we begin to ask: “Is it worth living? Is it worth being a human?”

What is the problem? The problem is that we have distanced ourselves from God and, because of that; we find no value in ourselves or others. Many people live horizontally; never raise their eyes to God; they don’t believe in Him and experience His salvation. Faith in Jesus can change the feelings we have for ourselves and for others. Discouragement disappears when we accept and understand the love and forgiveness of Christ to us.

There is an old saying: “If someone calls you a donkey, do not listen. If God calls you son, dress your royal robes”

Jesus said that God cares even for the birds. And we are not worth more than the birds? We must trust in Jesus, trust and know how special we are to him and to those around us.
