“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalms 16:11 MEV).

Meticulously, I have chosen a portion of time to cultivate my closeness with His presence.

I have chosen the word “meticulously” because I pay close attention to every detail about Him. The Lord is not my example, He is my life! And I deeply appreciate the slightest insight into Him!

Our cultivating hours are from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. I relax in my recliner with a hot cup of tea, my Bible (the Voice of Him), my journal (my prayer), and everything inside me is consumed with the longing to hear God’s secrets!

My family and friends know that this is my sacred time, that it is non-negotiable. In His presence I have been able to understand how to live a happy and healthy life.

My greatest wish is to inspire you to cultivate closeness with His presence. And enjoy the good that flows automatically from Him.

Cultivar la cercanía con Su presencia

“Me mostrarás la senda de la vida; En tu presencia hay plenitud de gozo; Delicias a tu diestra para siempre.”(Salmos 16:11)

Meticulosamente, he elegido una porción de tiempo para cultivar mi cercanía con Su presencia.

He elegido la palabra “meticulosamente” porque presto mucha atención a cada detalle acerca de Él. ¡El Señor no es mi ejemplo, Él mi vida! ¡Y aprecio profundamente la menor percepción de Él!

Nuestro horario de cultivo es de 6:00 p.m. a 9:00 p.m. Me relajo en mi sillón reclinable con una taza de té caliente, mi Biblia (Su Voz), mi diario (mi oración) y todo lo que hay dentro de mí, ¡se consume con el anhelo de escuchar los secretos de Dios!

Mi familia y amigos saben que ese es mi tiempo sagrado, que no es negociable. En Su presencia he podido entender cómo vivir una vida feliz y saludable.

Mi mayor deseo es inspirarte a cultivar la cercanía con Su presencia. Y disfrutar del bien que fluye automáticamente de Él.

Suddenly this sad surprise came over me! I realized that there had been a small gap in my vibrant, joyful and grateful heart. A tone of my joy slowly fades away.

Before I panic, the sweet, gentle voice of the Holy Spirit whispered in my spirit: “ Through it all, your love for me has deepened.”

Winter is a season of apparent death, the beautiful green color on the Creator’s palette turns into brown and grayish tones.

What you perceive as death is life in the making. Deeper, stronger roots develop for a more enjoyable summer.

If this is your winter season, don’t be discouraged, your love for Jesus grows deeper! And you are loved by Him!

Lo que enseña el invierno

¡De repente esta triste sorpresa se apoderó de mí! Me di cuenta de que se había producido una pequeña brecha en mi corazón vibrante, alegre y agradecido. Un tono de mi gozo se va desvaneciendo lentamente.

Antes de que entrara en pánico, la dulce y suave voz del Espíritu Santo susurró en mi espíritu: “A través de todo, tu amor por mí se ha profundizado”.

El invierno es una estación de aparente muerte, el hermoso color verde en la paleta del Creador se torna en tonos marrones y grisáceos.

Lo que percibes como muerte, es vida en ciernes. Se desarrollan raíces más profundas y fuertes para un verano más placentero.

Si esta es tu temporada de invierno, no te desanimes, ¡tu amor por Jesús se hace más profundo! ¡Y eres amado por Él!

My soul is like in a slow cooker. The setting isn’t high, or even slow, it’s just there to keep it warm. My soul is restless and I cannot rest because the pot, although it does not boil, keeps warming up.

In this concern, I think of David in the desert of Paran, as the Book of 1 Samuel, chapter 25, says. I imagine David’s emotions were not in a pot to be kept warm, but rather the setting was to boil.

“Then David said in his heart, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul…” (1 Samuel 27:1).

Surely David saw no way out, however, after unspeakable, intense and long struggles, he became the best king of Israel.

Olla de presión

Mi alma está como en una olla de cocción lenta. La configuración no es alta, ni siquiera lenta, solo está ahí para mantener el calor. Mi alma está inquieta y no puedo reposar porque la olla, aunque no hierve, sigue calentado.

En esta inquietud, pienso en David en el desierto de Parán, como dice el Libro de 1 Samuel, capítulo 25. Me imagino que las emociones de David no estaban en una olla para mantenerlas calientes, sino que el ambiente estaba a punto de hervir.

“Entonces David dijo en su corazón: “Ahora bien, un día pereceré a manos de Saúl… (1 Samuel 27:1).

Seguramente David no veía salida, sin embargo, después de las indecibles e intensas y largas luchas, se convirtió en el mejor rey de Israel.

He is coming

There is a deep knowledge in my soul that this entire event is nothing more than a setup. Last Sunday, while blessing the people, I proclaimed that everything be peace and everybody be enamored of Jesus.

No accidents, no incidents.

The next day, my boat rocked. As I was parking at the gym, I noticed a light on my dashboard: EPC. I prayed : Father, I should know better, I shouldn’t worry because I know you are here, but I am concerned.

To compound my concern, suddenly on the dashboard appeared, not a light, but the shape of a large red Aladdin’s lamp dripping oil. I was startled! It was a busy morning. My nature is calm and serene, but events were happening quickly and dangerously, more than I could bear.

In the bank parking lot I turned it off for a while. And I imitated David in I Samuel 30:6. So I drew strength from the Lord my God, feeding on John 14:1:

““Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

As I continued to chew these words, allowing each little morsel to sink into my mind and heart, fear faded away and strength advanced. I was able to get home safely and the scary lamp didn’t appear again. Praise the Lord!

The peace that surpasses all understanding increases in this entire scenario. And I am more enamored of Jesus!
