Sobre «Turn, Turn, Turn» por «The Byrds»
Responde a la canción vieja «Turn, Turn». Hay un tiempo para todo. Pero espero que el tiempo de bailar, abrazarse y hacerse paz no haya pasado ya.
God is Love
God highly values reconciliation
God values conciliation very much. And the responsibility is mine, not yours. I can’t serve God while I know that you hold something against me.
Dios valora mucho la reconciliación.
Dios valora mucho la conciliación. Y la responsabilidad es la mía, no tuya. No puedo servir a Dios mientrase sé que tú tienes esa cosa en contra de mí.
¿Qué se ve vivir en paz con otros?
¿Qué se ve vivir en paz con otros? Si dependo de Dios para darme todas las cosas buenas, no las esperaré de otras personas. Y, cuando nada estuvo dicho, yo no debía asumir nada.
What does it look like to live at peace with others?
What does it look like to live at peace with others? If I depend on God to give me all good things, I will not expect them from other people. And, when nothing was said, I should not assume anything.
Live at peace with others
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. This is one of the most important principles of Scriture, because God is love.
Vivir en paz con otros
Si es posible, y en cuanto dependa de ustedes, vivan en paz con todos. Esto es uno de los principios más importantes de las Escrituras, porque Dios es amor.
A Grudge Imprisons All Parties to It
I’ve heard it preached that, when I hold a grudge, I hurt only myself. The other person is not affected. But this is simply false. As long as either of us is holding a grudge, we are both imprisoned in it, until the one holding the grudge releases it. I must offer unlimited forgiveness, and not give in to bearing a grudge toward those who have hurt me. And I must be aware that my grudge always affects other people.
Is There Anything God Can’t Forgive?
God can’t forgive a grudge I am holding against you. I have to do that. And God can’t forgive a grudge you are holding against me. You have to do that. To know God’s forgiveness, I must choose to live in it.
What Really Happened in the Garden
God created the first human, male and female, as a being like himself with whom he could share his life and his creation. But the disobedience of the first humans introduced shame, which drove them away from God and hindered them from agreeing with God about their sin and returning to him. This is always the effect of shame, which comes from us, not from God.
