Looking At The Soul of the Sinner




We live in a world in which at all times we can be influenced by things that are good for us or things that hurt us, and it is up to each one of us to know how to choose which path to follow and not be influenced by anything, and live only by faith.
Zacchaeus was a tax collector who cheated others, but at the same time Jesus was not concerned with his sin. When Jesus passed by, he looked out for him and climbed as high as he could in a tree to see Jesus. Seeing his attitude, He said He would be at his home that very same day, but those who saw him only as a sinner, did not accept the attitude of Jesus and murmured as if they were not in agreement that Jesus would go to the house of a sinner.
Jesus really is wonderful. He does not look at the exterior, but rather the interior. Because if it were not so, many of us would not have achieved our salvation.
Too many people are living wrong, committing robberies, prostitution, murder, but have not had that opportunity to receive a good influence to change their lives.
When Jesus did not look at the sinner, but looked at the soul of the sinner who was with Him, there was regret and he said: I will give half of my possessions to the poor and if I cheated anyone, I will restore it fourfold, or in other words, he regretted his actions and had an encounter with God.
And Jesus said: Today salvation has come to this house.
Many people are not seen as souls but as disturbed, murderers, liars, thieves, or said to live in the flesh, but only with a gesture of love and solidarity and influenced by the power of God in their lives, they can take a step and change the course of their lives.
I thank God because every day I learn the true love for souls, to love people on the inside, not the outside, not judging, but being a good influence with good attitudes and leading them to an encounter with God, and the results have been wonderful every day.

Time passes by quickly, and many people are dying and instead of being a good influence to others, by looking at the inside and not the outside, we lose the opportunity to win souls for the Kingdom of God with prejudice, with disfavor, and unfortunately this type of behavior only displeases God and gives pleasure to evil.
“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

The Good Soil




Every day we go through situations that make us look more to the desires of our flesh than to those of our spirit, because we have ears but do not hear and we have eyes but do not see. This is why there is suffering in the lives of many people due to this main reason "they have ears but do not hear", "they have eyes but do not see". When the seed falls on good soil, it bears fruit and yields up to a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown, but only a part of those who have ears are able to hear, and those who have eyes able to see, that is only those born of God.
Sometimes God speaks to us through a message in the Bible, the Internet, or through people, at church, etc ... But often we do not hear and instead take actions that will later on make us sad or even make us suffer for lack of hearing God's will. This is due to a lack of the new birth, the reason why we walk in the flesh and not in the spirit.
When we have the Spirit of God within us, there is a new birth and the multiplication is inevitable, faith will always be in action and will certainly bear its fruit in time.
"But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Mathew 13:23

What we should to think?


With our thoughts we can travel, visit the past, project the future, remember those who left, or even stay in the frustrations of the past, we can choose what to think about, this is the most important part.
We dominate our minds when we learn to use the authority that was given to us.
We have good thoughts, bad thoughts, thoughts that scare us... so we cannot get carried away by our thoughts, instead we must carry our thoughts where we want.
The human mind is really incredible and it controls all our body. It all begins in the mind, this explains why many horrible things happen: people who attempt suicide, depressed people, people who take attitudes and then repent, and at times after the act some people wonder: "How could I do this? How could I act this way? Why let the mind dominate and cause unimaginable actions so distorted from reality.
There are some people that have everything to succeed, but because of negative thoughts, or that voice: "You're not going to get it", their life is at a stand still, tied up and ends up being a frustrated life without achievements.
When you really believe in something and change your thinking, changed your point of view, everything becomes easier, and even the universe works in your favor.
Long ago, I realized how fragile I was when it came to my mind, sometimes I would spend hours alone, but speaking in my thoughts, and sometimes remembering unpleasant things without realizing how much this affected my day to day. Until one day the light shone: I decided to think only of what I wanted ... Yes! I can control my mind, which would sometimes lead me to inconceivable things and to act without wisdom. This is not easy, we are human, susceptible to mistakes, and we live in a world that is becoming increasingly difficult, but it is possible.
It is necessary to practice. The principle is not easy, but every time an unpleasant thought comes, I start to do something different. It is like throwing it out of my mind, and soon enough it passes. In my daily practice, I see now how important it is for our lives to have a clear, pure and healthy mind because surely we will also have a clean, pure heart, which is pleasing to God, thus having a happier life.
We cannot be trapped by our thoughts, our mind is what determines what our actions will be.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things" (Philippians 4:8)
