balloons or grace enough?

"And because I did not have to exalted for excellence of the revelations, I was a thorn in the flesh, (...) so I'm not proud. Three times I besought the Lord that it might depart from me, and he told me: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast quite gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For this I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake, because when I am weak, then am I strong. "2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Today is a self-sufficiency rewarded and recognized value, indeed, advocated at all. A lot of people will never admit their own weakness or need for help from other people. "I can go it alone" support, even when, perhaps, are the tongue to the floor. We are honest with ourselves, often behind the armor of strength and courage instead of hiding one thing: pride.

Someone once said that adversity produces holes in our pride. In this chapter 12 of his letter to the Corinthians (and elsewhere) Paul claimed to have many reasons to be arrogant, proud of himself and totally self-sufficient: a good family, good academic background, an exemplary religious, a social position of great authority and power over life and death of others, and so on. (Philippians 3:5-6). Even after his personal encounter with the risen Christ and his conversion, Paul had many opportunities to increase his personal pride and rely on its other location chosen by God because God had called him in a unique and specific to the role of Apostle to the Gentiles to bring the Gospel to the ends of the known world.

But you know what? God knows our nature better than we do, that's why the Lord, in addition to the privileges of the apostolate, also gave him a "thorn in the flesh", a problem unknown to us but it was so serious and debilitating as to require constant care and spiritual Paul was praying that he could bear. This was the needle must constantly deflated his pride human and put many holes in it as is necessary to prevent swell like a balloon.

God uses adversity in much the same way in our lives. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are beyond our capacity to endure ... at least in appearance. But when we think we do not do it just as God gives us His sufficiency, His goodness, His guidance and strength. dwells in them.

Self-sufficiency is not a virtue but a trap. That's why God's message is the opposite of what the company proclaims it so hard. Those who wish to overcome adversity have to sacrifice their attitude of "I can do it alone" and learn to be completely dependent on Him when we are weak, God himself makes us strong.

Personally I thank God for the heart that puts constant needles in my life, unpleasant, unwanted but necessary to prevent or chosen to become a stuffed shirt, believes to be self sufficient, not needing others or God!

you're warming up to the fire of the enemy?



Peter followed at a distance, until they reached the courtyard of the high priest, and entered, sitting down with the guards, to see how the story would end. Matthew 26:58

A series of wrong choices have led Peter to deny Christ. The first of these was having too much confidence in himself, the second was to follow Christ from afar. Finally, the third was wrong the wrong people attend.

In Luke 22:55 we find Peter as he warms up by the fire in the courtyard of the high priest Caiaphas, who stood trial with the intention of condemning Jesus, we call this "enemy fire" . At this point Peter was tired, frustrated, discouraged, confused and weak, to describe his situation with a word you could say that was vulnerable, then the \\ 'last place where Peter was supposed to be was right next to the fire of the enemy, surrounded by people who are not believers, rabid and ready to kill her beloved Master.

The Gospel of Matthew tells us that Peter sat with the servants to follow the order of events. She was already resigned to the fate of Jesus? He felt helpless in front of that situation? The only thing to do was sit there and really be scared and resigned to wait? Certainly Peter was in the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time, with feeling bad and about to do the wrong thing.

What's going on now about us? We think we are so strong and tough to be able to influence others? Or we feel weak and scared, vulnerable to "enemy fire"? With whom we spend our time when we need security, encouragement and direction? Where is our beloved master? The Winner and feel able to overwhelm opponents with his love?
Psalm 1 reminds us "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in that way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night. " Note the progression of words in the Psalm: first c \\ 's walk, then there \\' s stop and then there's the seating.

When we fall into sin, or in a state of great prostration, we do not suddenly, from night and day. It is the result of a series of steps and wrong choices that ultimately will lead us to be with the wrong people, in the wrong place at the wrong times and that, consequently, we will do the wrong things, sooner or later that is.

What happened then to Peter? We all know: he denied him three times with oaths and curses, to know how Jesus reacted to Jesus? "And the Lord turned and looked at Peter and Peter (...) went out and wept bitterly? (Luke 22:61.62) Remember, no matter how many times you have denied the Lord, with Him there is always room for repentance and forgiveness!
