I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 (AMP) People often list reasons why they feel they can’t change or grow. In reality, we live within our limitations. Everyone has an internal thermostat. When you set your home thermostat, the furnace or cooling system works to keep the temperature at the level set. In life, it’s the same. Your set point is what is normal for you. For example, you have a set point for your finances. If your income increases, you will probably spend until you have the same amount left at the end of the month because that feels normal. If your income drops, you will either fight to …
Resista cada tormenta con alegría y paz
En cambio, lo que el Espíritu produce es…alegría. Gálatas 5:22 (DHH) Todos queremos disfrutar de la vida; no hay nada de malo en eso. Sin embargo, muchos asumen que la única forma de disfrutar de la vida es eliminar todos los problemas. No es verdad. Mientras usted crea eso, no conocerá la alegría que se menciona en Gálatas 5:22. Cuando usted relaciona su alegría con los problemas, esto hace que se concentre en los problemas. Después de todo, usted cree que la única manera de tener alegría es buscar problemas y no encontrarlos. Esto significa que usted siempre está buscando problemas… ¡Pero siempre los encontrará! Su alegría estará enfocada en el futuro. Usted solo será feliz cuando este problema o ese se resuelva. Esta es …
Weather Every Storm With Joy And Peace
But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is…joy. Galatians 5:22 (AMPC) We all want to enjoy life; there is nothing wrong that. However, many assume that the only way to enjoy life is to eliminate all problems. It’s not true. As long as you believe that, you won’t know the joy spoken of in Galatians 5:22. When you tie your joy to problems, it causes you to focus on problems. After all, you believe that the only way to have joy is if you look for problems and find none there. This means you are always looking for problems…and you will always find them! Your joy becomes future focused. You will only be happy when this problem or …
Alegría Increíble
Que Dios, que da esperanza, los llene de alegría y paz a ustedes que tienen fe en él, y les dé abundante esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Romanos 15:13 (DHH) Muchas personas se enojan con la mentira de que la felicidad está a la vuelta de la esquina, es decir, una vez que consiga el trabajo adecuado, se jubile, pague la hipoteca, se case o se divorcie. Ellos asumen que la alegría proviene de la ausencia de problemas. Desafortunadamente, los problemas son un hecho de la vida. Si esperamos estar sin problemas para ser felices, nunca llegará ese momento. La alegría es en realidad un subproducto natural de tener una relación con Dios. Pablo lo sabía bien. Él dijo: pues he aprendido a …
Unbelievable Joy
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Romans 15:13(NLT) Many people fall for the lie that happiness is right around the corner—once they land the right job, retire, pay off their mortgage, get married or get divorced. They assume that joy comes from the absence of problems. Unfortunately, problems are a fact of life. If we wait for them all to go away to be happy, the time will never come. Joy is actually a natural by-product of having a relationship with God. Paul knew this well. He said: “I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much …
