Mi cabeza estuvo girando mucho sobre algunas circunstancias sin poder desenredarlas.
Ecclesiastes 7:14 “When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.”
Cuando Dean me escribió:“Estas cosas tienden a sacudir nuestras respuestas fáciles”, dije Si!
Mi hermano leyó Romanos 8:24, estábamos enterrando su bebita. Pero es verdad: “Porque en esa esperanza fuimos salvados. Pero la esperanza que se ve, ya no es esperanza. ¿Quién espera lo que ya tiene?.” Ellos compartieron que no pueden esperar al cielo para verla. Esperanza que no se ve, que ya no tienen, o tenemos.

¿Como puedo capitalizar el dolor en carácter? Alguien me dijo: “por que todos se nos mueren? Hay tanto dolor en este ultimo tiempo…” y que puedo decir a eso? Ya pasará… todo va a estar bien…no! Esas respuestas simplistas no me satisfacen.
2 Samuel 5, 8-16. God expressly told David that it was right to have the desire to build the Temple! While God approved of David´s desire, he also refused to fulfill his desire.
... it´s possible to have a good desire in our hearts....and yet never see that desire completely fulfilled.
... although he would not permit him to act on his good desire to build a house of worship, God would instead build a "house" for David -a family tree that would eventually produce the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord of the world. Amazing! While David didn´t see his heart´s desire fulfilled, God had something different (and ever greater) in mind for him.
That´s serendipity. And that´s also a stunning picture of what God can do for you. You may lose a
, lose a close friend through a disagreement, but it doesn´t mean those relationships are lost forever. You and I know of situations in which people have reunited later in life, much to their joy.

How to Move on After a Loss - by Roberta Rand Caponey
Loss. Few words summarize the desolation of the spirit more precisely and poetically than this simple, four-letter word. Loss of life, of love, of home and possessions – we've all been there, just to varying degrees.
As we grow older, physical losses mount. But perhaps the most difficult loss to recover from is the death of someone you love. And the longer you live, the more people you will outlive. Grief is not the same as depression.
It seems like life and its passages consist of loss and a constant need to re-adjust to a changing reality. The book of Ecclesiastes 1:18 states, "For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief." Solomon's conclusion that sorrow is the companion of wisdom is bittersweet. It does seem like the longer we live and the more we learn about life and human nature, the more we are challenged to make peace with loss and death – not just the death of people, but of dreams and expectations. Acceptance of these difficult realities are ironically what brings lightness and purpose to life – not to mention empathy for other people experiencing their own losses.
So how do you continue to embrace life with enthusiasm in the face of loss? Life goes on. Though it's a cliché, it's true. By deliberately choosing to believe that the best is yet to be, we can repopulate our lives with new people and rich new experiences. Yes, loss is an ever-present reality, but it doesn't have to define you.
If you are struggling with a loss, lean into Jesus. He, above anyone else, understands your pain.
…Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5: 4, NIV)
Cuando leí que la perdida era una situación real que debería enfrentar en el presente pero no me define, entendí mas acerca de la pregunta por que siempre perdemos todo. No, no nos define, es una situación del presente… algo mas para dar a Dios y buscar sus fuerzas para seguir adelante. “I´ll soar with you above the storm…you are King over the flood”
Encontré paz en mi mente y mi corazón cuando vi como El esta conmigo para sostenerme y abrazarme cuando lo necesite. Su compañía es el mejor recurso que podríamos tener. Y no solamente eso… El me mostrara la forma de seguir, porque El va adelante!!!
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” Salms 32:8
