No vivas en sequia
Nuestro país esta pasando por un gran periodo de sequía, es muy frecuente ver cuando viajamos por campos que antiguamente estaban reverdecidos, ahora totalmente secos, tierras totalmente áridas, podemos apreciar a simple vista que el ambiente que reina es un ambiente de muerte, si viajamos cerca del mar podemos percibir el olor característico de la muerte, el olor a podrido, y todo esto es debido a que por la gran sequía que hay, parte de las playas se han secado, y por lo tanto la vida que antes ahí abundaba, ha muerto. Viéndolo así de esta manera no hay que ser tan hábil para sacar la siguiente conclusión, Donde Abunda la Sequía Abunda La Muerte.
De igual manera sucede con las personas, todos contamos con un pedazo de tierra el cual necesita agua para que en él abunde la vida, y este pedazo de tierra es el corazón, de tal manera que si no le suministramos el agua que necesita, el ambiente que en el reinara será un ambiente de muerte. Por lo tanto el ser humano necesita encontrar una fuente de agua que sea inagotable para que pueda mantener su corazón fresco y así de esta manera no ser afectado por la sequía.
Jesús es nuestra Fuente Inagotable ..... El Mundo es fuente agotable , Jesús es la fuente de agua viva . Con EL no tendremos sed jamás, en (Juan 7:38) dice, Por nuestro interior correrán ríos de agua viva. " Tendremos Vida Eterna "
El agua del mundo no calma nuestra sed, Si bebemos de este mundo recibiremos muerte Y Nuestra sed sera siempre insatisfecha . Este mundo no tiene lo que sacia nuestro espiritu. Solo Jesús puede hacer que por nuestro interior corran ríos de agua viva que traera paz interior y felicidad. Que este dia nos decidamos ser saciados de su Fuente inagotable!

Heaven
While Paul was on the Damascus Road on his way to persecute Christians, He saw heaven open up but whether this was heaven itself or just the first heaven where he saw the light, we cannot be sure. Acts 9:3-4 described what Paul saw, “As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” We do not know for sure, according to the scriptures, whether this was the third heaven, where the throne of God was or not, but can assume it was not for Paul only heard a voice from heaven and he saw only a light from heaven. Nonetheless, heaven is for real and it exists today in every sense of the word.
You may have read or heard about many who have died and seen heaven for themselves. They describe such a realm that is beyond description. Some who died and came back to life have said they have seen their lost loved ones in heaven, their family, friends, and some even their pets. This is difficult to prove, yet the sheer number of those who have seen heaven and came back from death is hard to refute; only they themselves know this for certain. But the Bible does describe some of what heaven is like in the scriptures. It is, from the human standpoint, indescribable (I Cor. 2:9).
One young man asked his friend, why don't you go partying like most of us, and the friend said, I believe in God , in heaven and hell. The young man answered, how are you so sure about heaven and hell, no one has seen it. The friend answered, true, I haven't seen it , I only believe what the word of God say. The friend said, I don't believe none of it, that's why I live however I want. You sure are wasting your youth not doing what you want. The friend said, Look, if its true or not what the word of God says, I will not take my chances, because what IF it's all true. Living for God may not be the easiest thing to do, but when we consider heaven our eternal home, it is all worth it!
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:27

One day at a time
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
Finally, they gave God time to work. One of the most remarkable attributes of God's incarnation on earth, was that he emptied Himself of His divine power and humbled Himself to be one of us. Christ, as a newborn baby, was pretty much like every other baby in knowledge, power, etc. He had to learn how to speak. He had to be toilet-trained. He cried when He was hungry. He was utterly weak and vulnerable. But over the course of years, as He grew to adulthood, He grew into His power and His destiny. The magi gave themselves up to the Son of God who would become.
If God works over time — and He does — who are we to expect instant success and gratification. “A journey of a thousand miles”, the saying goes, “begins with a single step.” The journey to find and know Christ, also, must be made one step at a time, one day at a time.
Just before the new year begins — for most of us make some sort of New Year's resolutions; we see the change of calendar year as a time to renew our goals, push the important priorities of our lives back to the front of the line, when day-to-day living has slowly shuffled them back in our daily to-do list. As we start making our New Years resolutions , let this be our prayer..." Lord Christ, let me seek you this year with my whole heart, and place you first in my life." Amen!

~ Matthew 2:1-2
Three wise men dedicated their lives to seeking and worshipping the Son of God. They were filled with passion to find Christ, no matter how far away he might be. They understood that there was a new king and they sought Him. And how did they find Him? They followed the light.
When they found Christ, they humbled themselves before Him. This was not King Solomon, sitting on a great throne in a great palace with great pillars and walls, covered everywhere in gold. This was a newborn baby in a hick town, who was not even in a building of human habitat. He was lying in a feed trough in a barn! But they saw through the trappings of the world with a vision of His glory that was entirely spiritual, and were so convinced by their wisdom that they fell to their knees and worshipped. And they gave Him gifts of their worldly treasure, precious and expensive. They didn't drop a twenty in a collection plate!
