His Friends

God created us to be his friends and enjoy him forever

Where am I going next–and does it really matter?

About the shortness of my time remaining, the failure of my life thus far, priorities, how Don Quixote, the Serenity Prayer and Ponce de Leon fit, love is always passionate, and passion always hurts, and proudly wearing the craters on my heart.

Jesus, the Great Shepherd, leads only one flock. And he is our only Shepherd.

Jesus is our only Shepherd, gives his life for the sheep, and has only one flock. He assigns us to where he wants, when he wants.

Jesús, el Gran Pastor, guía un solo rebaño. Y él es nuestro único Pastor.

Jesús es nuestro único Pastor, quien da su vida por las ovejas, y él guía un solo rebaño. Él asigna sus ovejas a los lugares que quiere, cuando quiere.

Love Never Behaves Inappropriately, a personal aside

To understand how to love people in each specific situation, I must ask God and listen to His answer. This is particularly important for me because of my condition. I can’t fake it.

El Amor Nunca Se Porta Indecorosamente, un aparte personal

Para entender cómo amar a las personas en cada situación específica, debo preguntarle a Dios y escuchar su respuesta. Esto es particularmente importante para mí debido a mi condición.. Yo no lo puedo fingir.

Why shouldn’t I be afraid I’ll hear the wrong voice?

The author expresses confidence in being guided by Jesus, identifying as one of His sheep who recognizes His voice and follows Him. They emphasize the importance of distinguishing Jesus’ voice from false voices and assert that true followers will flee from deceit. The key to this discernment lies in the willingness to obey God’s voice.

¿Hay Algo Que Dios No Puede Perdonar?

El texto explica que Dios no puede perdonarnos los rencores entre nosotros, ya que solo nosotros somos los dueños de esos sentimientos y debemos decidir perdonar. Jesús enseña que si no perdonamos a otros, Dios no nos perdonará. Dios valora la reconciliación y nos llama a vivir en el perdón.

Many times it seems to me that people have decided to treat me as non-existent. How should I love them?
