Tener amor es saber soportar; es ser bondadoso; es no tener envidia, ni ser presumido, ni orgulloso, 1 Corintios 13:4 (DHH) Diciembre es un mes para dar y recibir. Mientras hacemos listas de cosas que nos gustaría dar a los demás, damos pistas sobre lo que nos gustaría recibir a cambio. ¡Los intercambios de regalos pueden agregar mucha emoción a las vacaciones! Diciembre también es un momento en el que muchas personas se obsesionan con la perfección. Quieren encontrar el árbol de Navidad perfecto, organizar la fiesta perfecta y comprar el regalo perfecto para cada uno de sus seres queridos. Este deseo de perfección a menudo se filtra en sus expectativas de otras personas. Y cuando las personas se quedan cortas, como siempre sucede, les causa mucho dolor. De hecho, las personas …
Accepting Imperfection
Love endures long and is patient and kind; Love never is envious nor boiled over with jealousy, it’s not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. 1 Corinthians 13:4 (AMPC) December is a month of giving and getting. As we make lists of things we would like to give others, we drop hints about what we would like to get in return. Gift exchanges can add so much excitement to the holidays! December is also a time when many people become fixated on perfection. They want to find that perfect Christmas tree, hosted perfect party and buy the perfect present for each of their loved ones. This desire for perfection often seeps into their expectation of other people. And when people fall short—as they …

¿Está Usted Solo esta Noche?
No los voy a dejar huérfanos; volveré para estar con ustedes. Dentro de poco, los que son del mundo ya no me verán; pero ustedes me verán, y vivirán porque yo vivo. En aquel día, ustedes se darán cuenta de que yo estoy en mi Padre, y ustedes están en mí, y yo en ustedes.

La pérdida de un ser querido, un divorcio o tener a la familia lejos puede hacer que sea un momento especialmente solitario. Si usted se siente solo en esta Navidad, me gustaría animarlo. Todos tenemos momentos y temporadas de soledad. Mientras estemos en esta …
Time With Holy Spirit Is Noticeable
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 (NKJV) A common question many parents ask is: “How can we make sure we raise great kids?” There are so many principles in God ‘s Word about training the next generation, but one thing comes to mind immediately. Parents who spend time with Holy Spirit are leaps and bounds ahead before any other principle is applied. When you spend time with Holy Spirit, it is noticeable to those around you. People noticed a difference in Peter and John because they had been with Jesus. In exactly the same way, Holy Spirit brings us …
