How many times in the past have I said to myself: “What am I doing with my Life!? lol, I feel like I need to get a LIFE!” I had so many high expectations of how I thought my life should look like at a certain age, and when I couldn’t achieve those things I thought much of my life could seem unsuccessful and a total failure. It was a constant thought and wrestle that I had.
"¡Gaby! ¿Qué es el éxito para ti? ¿Cuál es tu definición de éxito?
Tu definición no es la misma que la mía
I want you to learn to love and obey me. At the end of it all I am your Success and your reward.”
Now I want to be clear, I’m not saying that having achievements in your life/ work/ family, etc isn’t good. We should have goals and aspirations, but when our life is driven only by these things then we have to check ourselves.
The world views the success of a person’s life by their accomplishments and performance. What happens then when you don’t measure to those standards? We might then find ourselves thinking that we are total failures or maybe others will say that of us.
¡Eso me pasó! Y todavía resurge de vez en cuando. Esta mentalidad ciega nuestra visión de la vida y nos hace valorar y priorizar cosas que Dios quizá ni siquiera considere valiosas.
Para medir nuestro éxito, el Señor no considera nuestro desempeño ni nuestros logros. Para Él, el éxito tiene una definición completamente diferente: tiene que ver con Transformación.
La transformación no es fácil; el trabajo diario de desprenderse por completo del viejo yo y renovarse continuamente en el espíritu de la mente es arduo. Pero este camino de ser más como Jesús es lo que el Señor considera éxito en nuestras vidas.
¿Qué contemplas? Porque Lo que contemplas es en lo que te conviertes.Para parecernos más a Jesús necesitamos quitar nuestra mirada de las cosas de esta tierra y ponerla en Él y donde Él está.
Sometimes we think that as christians we change by our own merits and determination, and that can be true to some degree, but it should be that as we intentionally behold the Lord, we become more like Him. Now this to many doesn’t look like much, because most of this is an inner work that many don’t see, but to the eyes of the God and in light of eternity it is a big deal.
Si escogemos este camino angosto Él nos llevará por el camino que transformará nuestras vidas para ser más como Él; esta es la vida de un verdadero discípulo.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” Matthew 22: 37-38
“And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP
“Therefore if you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, sharing in His resurrection from dead], keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. For you died [to this world] and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:1-3
” For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparison, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!” 2 Corinthians 4:17
