“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.” (1 Chronicles 29:11 NLT)

I can’t get enough of this gem (1 Chronicles 29:11) and owe it to myself to write my thoughts! I must do it because the Word of God fills all the crevices in my soul and strengthens me.

To transcend means to go above, to rise above, to be above. Knowing that God is both Transcendent and Omnipresent removes all fear and worry from me.

I seek solace and find sweet comfort in my intimacy with the Lord. Being at His feet is a sublime transcendence.

For quite some time I have been traveling through a seemingly endless labyrinth. It seems that there is no road in this season and the crossing is quite difficult.

Sometimes when I go to bed I wish it was morning and vice versa, in the morning I wish it was night. But, the Word of God is my sure anchor to stabilize the ship of my life. And it keeps me afloat until it’s all over.

In my affliction, the knowledge of the sublime transcendence of God, appeases my soul. Because He can be here with us, in us, prevailing over all things, but at the same time transcending all things.

Apostle Paul stated this way: “one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:6 MEV)

God, the great I AM, is transcendent to rise above all creation! And He sees me through the whole valley of the shadow of death. And he leads me to still waters. Why should my heart feel lonely, having the great God within me?

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.” (1 Chronicles 29:11 NLT).

This is my Story ! What’s Yours?

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Have you been in love? Why do you love her? Why do you love him? How many live their lives saying they love their loved ones, but can’t say why.

It must be a definite quality that draws you to love that person. And it has to be exclusive, no one else has it. When you see that person or think about them, that unique quality arises in your mind.

So, you must mine and dig very carefully because that quality is a unique treasure that will last “until death do us part”.

I love God with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. I am passionate about Jesus! I do NOT love Him for what He has given me, nor for what He does, I love Him for the uniqueness of His character! He is immutable, never changes! When He tells you that He loves you, nothing and no one can interfere with that love.

My love for Him is a very strong statement, I also appreciate what He does and all He has given me. My heart is full of gratitude for His goodness and mercy! But, if my love is the result of what I receive from Him, what will happen when I don’t receive what I ask for?

The language of love knows when to say “yes” and when to say “no.” And He knows what is best for me and when I am ready to receive or not.

My Lord is not like the others and His name is full of power. He is the King of all nations. The wisest men cannot compare with Him!

“Lord, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power.” . (Jeremiah 10:6-NLT).

Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you. (Jeremiah 10:6-NLT).

When I am in troubled waters, His unique quality comes to mind and becomes my safe hiding place. I love Him because He is the same today until eternity! He does not change, He is immutable!

Me mom

Seeing Moses as a point of reference, I study the seasons of my life. As the unsympathetic and hateful visitor, named grief, passed through my house with the intention of staying, I determined in my heart not to lament, but to learn from it.

Each piece of devastation adds a different hue and tone to the canvas of my soul.

The canvas of my first season was embellished with the most precious and lively hues. People admired those different tones on my canvas. “They look so perfect!”They used to comment.

In the second season, the admired canvas was thrown into the desert. The beauty, the desirable, all the nuances and bright tones disappeared in the call to the desert called, “La Vergüenza de la Cruz”, (The Shame of the Cross).

Although my soul knows very well that it has a long way ahead of it, it tried to convince itself that its mission on earth is over.

But this morning, thinking about Moses, I realized that my mother died six years into her second assignment. She was just getting started in her second season of life, she had only been at it for six years. She was 86 years old. But she was the most productive person I’ve ever met. In her short life, she left behind a rich legacy in all aspects of the word.

Then I realized that I have four years left to start my assignment. The actual shades and tones on my canvas have yet to manifest in God’s purpose for my life.

In this desert the heat is so stifling, the breeze feels like smoke pressing on the chest, it is difficult to breathe, the hot sun consumes the streams and I wonder, where is my burning bush? How I long to have an encounter with that bramble!

The time seems right for my burning bush to appear. The fierce heat of the sun has burned the bank accounts to the ground, brown, blackish! I am in the process of entering my next assignment. This is the first part, the victory is yet to come!
