If you feel it's time to move forward, you'll find many answers here and now. You can incorporate new examples into your life by exploring the following article.
"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8
Step forward to meet what is destined for you, with faith and hope that it will be something good. If you remain doubtful and hesitant, none of the wonderful things planned by the Lord can come to fruition.
You must pursue that feeling of happiness and love that comes from building your paradise with Jesus right now. You can plan many things for your life and future, but if you don't strive to make them happen, nothing will come to pass.
The Lord will always be on your path guiding you, so don't lag behind. Life is full of opportunities for you, and you must move towards them.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
When we talk about light and shadows, many images come to mind because they constantly surround us at every moment.
Often, we struggle to distinguish certain situations or thoughts that arise in our daily lives. We must remember that there is always something that illuminates us: the Holy Spirit.
Look around you right now—the living room, a window, a piece of furniture, the floor, or the ceiling that shelters us: all of them are blessed with light from the Savior. But in contrast, a shadow is also present.
If there is any darkness, it means that hope emerges as a ray of light filled with faith and love. The Lord declares His glory within our inner being. It's a good time to reflect on our contrasts!
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." John 15:16
By understanding and observing our surroundings, we can recognize the presence of the Lord, His energy flowing around you. The Holy Spirit will always show you something beautiful and new to behold.
Consider, for example, what happens when the sun hides behind the clouds: the brightest lights may disappear, but this absence allows you to see surprising colors and shades.
It's time to observe and appreciate the blessings that resonate around you and let yourself be amazed by the new nuances that each moment on the Lord's path offers.
"The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful." Matthew 13:22
We have all the tools within us, in our very being: the ability to move forward with the Heavenly Father.
We may need to adapt to a new scenario or learning circumstance. If something we need isn't happening as expected, we can act strategically to adapt to the environment and learn to wait for the Lord to bless our path with winds of renewal to achieve what we need.
Sometimes, in trying to know ourselves and look too closely, proximity distorts our vision, making it difficult—like trying to photograph a flower up close—to focus properly.
That's why prayer and reading the Bible help us understand concrete examples of the Lord's glory. To relive the teachings of Jesus and understand that there are diverse realities and different people. We must learn from them, knowing that we all share the same home, the same path of light, all connected with the Holy Spirit that directly links us to the Lord.
