Day 7: Ora por las amistades – pray for your friends


John 15:5, 8-15

“So live in my love.” (GW)

In order to live in love, one needs to have a commitment to know, to engage in intimate conversation, to ask questions and to remain connected physically, emotionally and spiritually to the other. For me that means feeling safe. Jesus asked his disciples to abide in him, to draw strength from their reciprocal relationship. How this work for me when I do not have a physical connection to him? Simple, I read, pray, meditate, worship and enjoy creation. I have those moments when I do not feel anything, however I understand that knowing does not necessarily means feeling. I know that the God of my understanding is near, love me and provide for me to have joy in his presence.

Señor, help me remain in YOU! Amen.

“Nunca dejen de amarme” (TLA)

Para vivir en amor, uno tiene que existir el compromiso de conocer, entablar una conversación íntima, hacer preguntas y mantenerse conectado física, emocional y espiritualmente con el otro. Para mí eso significa sentirse seguro. Jesús pidió a sus discípulos que permanecieran en él, para sacar fuerzas de su relación recíproca. ¿Cómo funciona esto para mí cuando no tengo una conexión física con él? Simple, leo, oro, medito, adoro y disfruto la creación. Tengo esos momentos en los que no siento nada, sin embargo, entiendo que saber no necesariamente significa sentir. Sé que el Dios de mi entendimiento está cerca, me ama y esto me hace sentir gozo en su presencia.
