... "But he who perseveres to the end, he will be saved." (St. Mark 13:13)
My beloved brothers:
Yes, I know what it is to feel a pain and a deep sadness! I also know what it is like to feel the disease touching your body, to fight and to think that you will not resist it, to believe that you leave this earth without fulfilling your dreams. Do not think that because I write, I preach the word of God and I try to do his will, my life is a garden of roses without thorns. As you have to face my struggles and conquer my battles. But, today I remembered something that I have to remind you all, too. Because what you are going through and what looks like a death wound, tomorrow will be just a scar and even more, it will become the trophy that reminds you that you surpassed the test that was presented to you because God was very close to you. That trophy will remind you of what it is to see the glory of God descend upon your life.
While I am writing, I can not help but think of all those men and women that the Bible mentions. They went through the pain, they often felt desires to die and to be erased from the map; but at the same time, they felt a fire and a passion burn in their hearts. The deep love they felt for God motivated them to walk the extra mile, because they knew, like Paul, that they had not been designed by God to retreat.
Fulfilling the purpose and mission God had for their lives was more important than their own personal desires. It was more important for them to fulfill God's dream than to be carried away by the current. Although the enemy attacked them again and again, although many times they were pointed out and turned their backs on the people they thought least; they were clear that if God backed them and went in front of them, they would perform feats in his name. The more trials and tribulations they faced, the more glory of God came down on their lives and on that of the people around them. Even their enemies had to lower their heads, seeing God's endorsement that never left them in shame. The fight was to death and they were willing to leave everything in exchange for the name of God being known and exalted.
Perhaps it would be very easy for me to tell you that this walk is rosy. But I can not help but be honest, this walk is beautiful, but there are battles to face. Today more than ever the enemy knows that he has little time left and is attacking us with everything he can. Humanly it would be very easy, surrender, throw us to the ground and exclaim that until here we arrived. But I refuse, to allow Satan to win the fight. It is not worth surrendering, after we have traveled so much.
"Just as the plane has a point of no return, so is my life in Christ, I go from glory to glory, and victory in Victoria, because I am not a defector but a warrior"
I have decided that even with my last breath I will continue to serve him, loving, worshiping and doing whatever he wants me to do, but weigh him who is sorry; and still suffering what he has to suffer. And believe me I am aware of what I say and write. That is why I continue to praise God with all the strength of my life. Because he laid his eyes on me, because he loved me first and like the psalmist, one thing I have asked of Jehovah and that is to be all the days of my life in his presence. I feel persuaded of something I am very sure and that I know that you are also safe, and it is: "that the one that the good work began in us, will be faithful in completing and perfecting it".
I encourage you that even without knowing each other personally, let us pray for each other. Let us stand in the gap and be intercessors. That we feel the pain of the brother, as if it were ours and that we feel the joys and victories of them, as if they were ours too. God does not want a people divided in anger, gossip and strife. He does not want them to use his word to fight against our neighbor. The fight is against the hosts and principalities of darkness, not against our fellowmen.
With all my heart I believe in a God who works miracles, wonders and wonders. That removes pain, depression, bitterness, resentment and that makes new people, that gives you the ability to return to love no matter what past they have had. Because Christ has entrusted us to be channels of blessing, because he came to this world to save what was lost.
Let's fight together, let's lean on God! May you count on me, but know that I also count on you. At we are a big and beautiful family. Where nationalities, races, political differences and things that distance us do not exist. The blood of Christ draws us closer, we share the divine DNA. We are beautiful and of great value in your eyes. If we persevere and are faithful to God, one day we will find ourselves enjoying an indescribable paradise with Him. Let's not abandon, let's move forward without stopping! It does not matter if we go by giant or slow steps, the important thing is that we arrive.
I love a song, I always tell God:
"What seemed impossible,
What seemed to have no way out,
What seemed to be my death,
The Lord changed my luck,
I am a miracle and I am here ... "
There will always be someone God will use to bless us, guide us and love us, at the moment we least expect that love, and that restorative balm will come to our lives like a rain, like a spring. Today we are passing a test of faith, but my God he says: darlenys, you will walk on the water and you will not abnegaran, you will pass through the fire and the flame will not burn in you, that is the inheritance of the sons of jehovà.
This is my faith and I know that yours too.
With all my love and my heart,
