The Reaction
THE REACTION
Today’s Reading:1 Corinthians 13:1-10 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+13%3A1-10&version=NIV

 Many men and women, after declaring undying love at the wedding, and even during the honeymoon, confront the reality that roars like a lion. It is that some bring their unrealistic expectations to the marriage and disappointment begins to devour marital happiness. The list of expectations is sometimes overwhelming. Among them is that marriage will solve all personal problems, that romance will hold the marriage together forever, that communication will be natural and automatic and that religious differences will be insignificant. All constitute the foundation of a home built over the sand.

 Eventually they react and collapse over another reality: “This is not the good looking, pleasant, and understanding wife, I married!” “This is not the cheerful, gentle, kind and romantic man I married!” What can be done? Give the woman back to her family? ¿Give the man back to his mother who with shedding tears left him?

As they fall into the reality of married life, the reaction is not to change, but to transform the person into the husband or wife of their dreams. Then they try to change each other. However, is it possible to change the way people do things and act? Is it fair to think about changing a person with whom we have married, without being willing to change our own way of life?

 The husband and wife are different people and their individuality should be respected. However, those who truly love must be able to respect others without trying to impose a certain way of being. We need the love of Christ Jesus, the love of God, to come into our lives, because true love demands nothing in return.

Warnings

It's Never Enough
Today’s Reading: Genesis 4:1-17
The mother never gets tired of saying to the child: “Do not play with matches, do not cross the street alone!” And the child does not get tired of answering: “I know, I know!” However the mother replies, “I know you know, but I don’t want you to forget.”

Some warnings need to be repeated, since they are vital for our loved ones because they forget easily.

God always repeats and reminds us not to forget that we love one another. The consequences are disastrous if we forget these words. We must remember the Bible story about one son called Cain; his lack of love led him to kill his own brother, Abel. The story draws a parallel between the lack of love and murder. They look like two very different things, but in reality the consequences are the same.

Whenever we insult, criticize, offend or humiliate a person; by thought, word or deed; it’s as if we killed our neighbor. And if we continue to do so, we slowly and mercilessly destroy him.

Similarly, if we love, understand and respect our neighbor, he will improve; his joys will be multiplied; and his sorrows will be reduced or eliminated.

Eliminate the Attitude
Today’s Reading: Psalm 62:9 Galatians 5:26 James 1:9 Job 20:6-7 Version=CEV

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+62%3A9%3B+Galatians+5%3A26%3B+James+1%3A9%3B+Job+20%3A6-7&version=CEV

“Where do you work? What do you do?” These are some of the questions we get when we meet a person. If an individual is an executive, to us it could seem to be a person of prestige, power and respect. But if it is a simple worker with calloused hands, sunburned, we do not give much attention or any prominence to them.

If a girl is going to marry an engineer, people say: “It will be a good marriage”; but if he marries a simple manual laborer, our thinking is different.

We value people by what they do and what they are. God, however, has given us different gifts, and each individual has their own abilities. Some skills are more visible than others, but everyone is important.

God has given each of us different abilities and gifts, according to his will. If God does that distribution of gifts and considers all equally important, it is we who need to change. We need to re-evaluate the judgment we make of our fellow men.

A psalmist wrote in the Bible: “We humans are only a breath; none of us are truly great. All of us together weigh less than a puff of air”.

We challenge you to eliminate that attitude of arrogance and value both the one that picks up the trash or the barber, as the doctor or engineer.

Mutual Commitments

Birthright
Today’s Reading: Exodus 20:12 Version NIV
Children tend to make heavy demands on their parents. This creates exasperation and fights at home. Because of the fact that they were brought to this world without been consulted, they think they can demand all they want.

In fact, parents have a responsibility to provide child support, education and training in God’s ways and, therefore, the example of a consistent and loving life. On the other hand, God demands from children obedience and honor to their parents.

God, the Eternal Father, commands, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”

Parents and children have mutual commitments of love and loyalty. In such an environment, children will obey and honor their parents and parents will provide what children need in their lives.

That atmosphere of love and mutual respect is achieved when parents and children respect God, that is, seek to follow the eternal principles based on love and loyalty.

When we love God above all things, it is possible to love one’s neighbor, and there is no better “neighbor” than our children, or our parents.
