When God works in the heart -Cuando Dios obra en el corazón
Last Sunday (Feb.13th), was the Evening Service with less people we ever had since we serve in Villa Regina (only 12). Many on vacation and others, as always, with lack of commitment. It was (to my opinion) the worst sermon I ever preached, plus, bad health and discouraged for several reasons. I preached on Mk.8:34 "Self Denial and the calling of Jesus." After the service and while I were putting my twelve strings guitar inside its box, Araceli (10) (picture), came to me, tears in her eyes, deep conviction and she said: "Pastor, did mom share with you about my situation?" I said, yes. "Well, I know I am a sinner, I sinned against God and I know I don't have Christ, nor His salvation." I explained to her that "praying" would not save her, but Christ yes. So she bowed her head and called on the Lord herself, asking for forgiveness and help to face several situations on the following weeks. After she prayed, she called her mother, hugged her and wept over her shoulders a lot. She went weeping all the way back home and there, she asked her father for forgiveness and also to her little sister. Praise the Lord! He is good. Araceli is now having discipleship and is enjoying memorizing Bible verses during the week. Pray for his father (Miguel) that he would come to Christ. So, God is good and sovereign always!
El Domingo pasado (Feb. 13) fue el Culto Vespertino con menos gente que hayamos tenido desde que estamos en Villa Regina (sólo 12). Muchos de vacaciones y otros, como siempre, con falta de compromiso. Fue (en mi opinión) el peor mensaje que he predicado, sumándole mi mal estado de salud y desaliento por diversas razones. Prediqué sobre Mr. 8:34 "Negarse a sí mismo y el llamado de Jesús." Luego del culto, y mientras yo guardaba mi guitarra en su estuche, Araceli (10) (foto) se me acercó, con lágrimas y profunda convicción diciendo: "Pastor, mamá le contó sobre mi situación?" Le dije que sí. "Bien, sé que soy pecadora, he pecado contra Dios en gran manera y sé que no tengo a Cristo ni la salvación." Le expliqué que "orar" no la iba a salvar, pero sí Cristo. Agachó su cabeza y clamó al Señor, pidiendo perdón por sus pecados y rogando ayuda para las diversas pruebas que enfrentaría en la semana. Luego de orar, llamó a su mamá y lloró pidiendo perdón sobre sus hombros. Regresó a su casa llorando todo el camino y pidió perdón a su papá y a su hermanita. Alabado sea el Señor! El es bueno. Araceli está siendo discipulada y disfruta memorizar versículos en la semana. Oren por su padre (Miguel) que pueda llegar a Cristo. Dios es bueno y soberano, siempre!
