The Way Back to God It’s common in today’s culture for people to believe that all roads lead to God. Many believe that all different sorts of religions and belief systems will ultimately lead us to God. While this sort of belief is widely accepted, it does not agree with what Jesus says in John 14:6. Jesus says that He is the only way to God. No one can come to the Father unless they come through Jesus. Jesus also says that He is the Truth, which means that all other truths must be measured against Him. He is objective truth. In other words: Jesus is the standard by which we can judge the rest of the world’s truth claims. Lastly, Jesus says He is the Life. This means that it’s only through Jesus that we find true and eternal life. True life comes from following Jesus’ words and His path for our life. A true and meaningful life begins with knowing Jesus. He alone has access to the good life that God intended us to live, as well as everlasting life with Him in heaven. Spend a moment thanking Jesus for revealing the true path to life and salvation, and for making it possible to have a relationship with Him. Continue to learn from Jesus through His Word, and share the hope of Jesus with others in your life.

“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” —Psalm 139:7‭-‬10 (NIV)
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” —Romans 8:26‭-‬28 (NLT)
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” —Psalm 37:23‭-‬24 (NLT)
“A Prayer For Guidance” By YouVersion:
“Think about a decision you made recently. Maybe it was choosing what to wear for the day. Maybe it was figuring out whether or not to take a new job. Or maybe it was simply deciding to say “hello” to someone you didn’t know well. The average person makes thousands of decisions each day.
While our choices don’t carry equal weight, every choice we make contributes to the direction our lives take. The good news is—we don’t have to make decisions alone.
God’s Holy Spirit is with anyone who believes in Jesus, empowering them to live in a way that honors Him. So right now, think about a decision you need to make, and when you’re ready, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
A Prayer for Guidance: Holy Spirit, You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs, and You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence, and nothing I could hide from You!
And that’s why, right now, I am asking You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance.
I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision—but I want to live a life that honors You.
Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what’s ahead—You see me. And You know me. So please guide me. Show me the paths that lead to abundant life, and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You.
As You guide me, restore me. I will place my hope in You at all times because You know all things, and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and You have become my salvation.
So hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have given me. Direct my steps as You guard my life, because I want to glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

He Started It
When the Apostle Paul was locked in a Roman prison for telling people about Jesus, he sent a letter of hope to his friends back in Philippi. A portion of it said:
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
Though Paul was writing to specific people in the first-century Church, his words are just as true for the global Church today.
Think about it: Who started this thing we call life? Who made this world and everything in it? Who fine-tuned the universe to actually make sense? Who put you here—at this specific time in history? Who handcrafted your body, your mind, your strengths, and your unique-to-you personality? Who began this good work?
Before you were ever born, God already had you in mind. Before you could even walk or talk or have dreams for yourself, God already had a plan. Before you knew to look to Him or to follow Him or to worship Him, God was already at work—in you, around you, and through you.
Sometimes it feels like we’re just wasting time and taking up space, without real purpose. But—it turns out—God is intentional and He makes no mistakes. To top it off…
God always finishes what He starts.
The story isn’t over. When Christ returns once and for all, the work of God through His people will finally be complete.
Until then, let’s commit to God’s good work inside of us.
Let’s magnify Him in everything we do.
Let’s believe that He’ll finish what He has begun.

Honesty before God is the only way we can grow into the people He wants us to be. We cannot grow in our spiritual life by hiding secrets or guarding our thoughts from God... when He searches us and brings [hidden] things to mind, He's inviting us to humbly confess them to Him, [because] we cannot be healed from the things we try to hide.

Sábado santo
El Sábado santo está marcado por las tinieblas y la espera: esperar en aflicción, con esperanza y con preguntas sin respuesta
Ahora que Jesús ha sido asesinado, los sumos sacerdotes y fariseos quieren que la tumba de Jesús sea vigilada por al menos tres días. El líder romano, Poncio Pilato, ordena a sus guardias que protejan la tumba de cualquiera que desee entrar. También empujaron una piedra frente a la entrada de la tumba para sellarla, lo que significa que aplastaron un montón de arcilla (o alguna sustancia blanda) en una junta que se rompería si la piedra fuera manipulada. Imprimen un símbolo romano imperial sobre la arcilla, para que cualquiera que quiera destruir el sello se enfrente a las consecuencias del brutal gobierno romano.
Imagínate que eres un seguidor temprano de Jesús. Has estado esperando al mesías prometido toda tu vida. Y has oído la palabra de Jesús, has hablado con él y has visto sus milagros, y has llegado a creer que está lleno del poder interminable e indestructible de Dios, porque ¡ÉL es el Mesías prometido! Pero ahora él está muerto, crucificado, asesinado. Lo escuchaste hablar de morir y resucitar a la vida, pero ¿Cómo podría ser posible? ¿Era solo otro mago? ¿Otro sabio errante repleto de falsas promesas? Tu esperanza recién encendida en el Mesías se habría apagado con la ejecución de Jesús.
El Sábado santo nos invita a la experiencia de las tinieblas, a las preguntas y aflicciones que tan a menudo acompañan a esta vida. ¿Dónde está Dios? ¿Por qué experimentamos tanto dolor? Pensamos que Jesús vino a rescatarnos pero, ¿ahora qué?
Hoy nos sentamos en las dolorosas tinieblas del Sábado santo y encontramos el descanso al saber que, en la oscuridad de la vida, Dios está vivo y trabajando. En la profunda tristeza, Dios todavía está ahí. En nuestra espera, Dios no nos ha olvidado. Nos ama y obra a su manera para devolvernos la vida a cada uno de nosotros. La piedra sellada no podrá mantener a Jesús en su lugar. La muerte no es el final.
Oramos: "Oh Dios, Creador de cielo y tierra: Concede que, así como el cuerpo crucificado de tu amado Hijo fue puesto en el sepulcro y descansó en este sábado santo, de la misma manera aguardemos con él la venida del tercer día, y resucitemos con él a la vida nueva; quien vive ahora y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén."
Para meditar:
Juan 19:39-40
Salmos 139

‭ Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Romans 5:1-5 NLT‬ -> https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.5.1-5.NLT
- - - - -
It's sweet and all but let's remember the word undeserved in there; that's precisely what makes it so special.
