5 formas inspiradoras de tener una fe inquebrantable
Most people start to lose their faith the second God doesn’t answer their prayers and doesn’t give them what they asked for.
Sin embargo, cuando se tiene una fe inquebrantable, algo así nunca sucederá.
If you have unwavering faith, it means that you always trust the Lord, you never question His decisions, and you’re certain in God’s promises, God’s plany God’s lovePase lo que pase.
He aquí algunos de los fundamentos básicos de una fe inquebrantable.
La fe es tu luz al final del túnel
Uno de los citas de fe from the Bible verses says: “Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. He will lead you in a prayer of lament. He will open up your heart to God.” – John 16:13
When you’re a true believer, your faith always guides you, no matter what. It gives you a kind of optimism you didn’t even know existed.
No, this doesn’t mean that you never go through rough patches. After all, you’re just a human being.
Así que, al igual que el resto de nosotros, usted también experimenta pesimismo.
Por mucho que luches contra ello, también experimentas pensamientos y emociones negativas.
However, the difference between you and those who don’t have unwavering faith is enormous.
Despite everything, you don’t let this negativity get the better of you and you don’t give it a chance to overwhelm you.
De hecho, incluso en tus horas más oscuras, tu fe en Dios está siempre presente.
It’s the thing that keeps your head above water, and that stops you falling into despair.
Siempre que te sientes perdido y sin ninguna esperanza, hay una luz al final del túnel que te da un rayo de optimismo.
Whenever you feel like you can’t make it anymore, your faith is there to give you the strength you need.
Whenever you feel like you’re about to fall into the void, your faith is right there to help you rise from the ashes.
Trusting God’s love more than yourself
Una de las características más importantes de la fe inquebrantable es el hecho de que confías más en el amor de Dios que en ti mismo.
Así que imagina cuánto lo amas.
You see, those who are not believers always think that they’re right.
They assume that they know what’s best for them and that they rarely make a mistake.
However, when one has as much faith as you do, you are perfectly aware that the truth is way different. In fact, you don’t have un problema de ego.
You don’t have any trouble admitting that sometimes you don’t have the capacity to see the bigger picture – that there are things beyond your comprehension.
More importantly – you don’t have trouble saying that your desires are not always what is actually right for you.
So, you rely on God’s love and wisdom because He is everything you’re not.
You know He loves you the most and that He knows what’s best for you, even if it doesn’t seem like it in a given moment.
You believe in His judgment making skills and in His perfect timing. You believe in God’s plan for all of His creatures, including you.
You know that God always does everything with a deeper reason that you sometimes can’t .
Sin embargo, después de un tiempo, siempre entiendes Su razonamiento.
¿Cuántas veces te has encontrado en una situación en la que has pasado noches en vela rezando por algo o por alguien?
Estabas convencido de que un trabajo, una oportunidad o una persona lo arreglarían todo en tu vida.
Pensaste que era exactamente lo que necesitabas para que todas las piezas del puzzle encajaran.
Que esa era la cosa o la persona que te haría feliz.
However, despite all of your prayers and desires, God didn’t grant your wishes. In fact, He moved you even further away from what you asked for.
If you don’t have enough faith, you’ll think that this is unfair. You might even get angry at God.
You’re a good person, you never do anything harmful to others and you believe in God and in Lord Jesus Christ.
So, how come you didn’t deserve to have your wishes granted?
Why can’t you get what you asked for? Where is the justice here?
Sounds familiar, right? Well, let me tell you that we’ve all struggled with these kinds of questions.
Once your faith reaches its peak, though, you understand that God didn’t give you lo que creías que querías porque te estaba protegiendo de ti mismo.
En realidad te estaba reservando para algo más grande.
Al cabo de un tiempo, comprendes que nunca podrás acercarte a su nivel de sabiduría. Es entonces cuando empiezas a confiar
Him more than you trust yourself – because He knows you better than you know yourself.

Aceptar su destino
A true believer knows that they can’t change life’s circumstances with just the snap of a finger.
You can’t influence how others behave or how they treat you.
Sin embargo, lo que sí puedes controlar es cómo reaccionas ante todo lo que la vida te depara.
Así que en lugar de intentar cambiar tu entorno, trabaja para alcanzar tu paz interior.
Básicamente, cuando tienes una fe inquebrantable, aceptas tu destino sin hacerte demasiadas preguntas porque sabes que Dios te lo envió por una razón.
Cada pequeña cosa que te sucedió, cada paso de tu camino, y cada persona que se cruzó en tu camino te fue enviada con algún propósito.
Knowing this, you don’t engage in unnecessary overthinking and you don’t waste your time fighting with the windmills.
No, this doesn’t mean that true believers don’t participate in their life.
It doesn’t mean that they are completely clueless or that they don’t have a worry in the world.
Sin embargo, realmente son mucho más tranquilos que los demás.
Duermen tranquilos porque saben que Dios acabará dándoles lo que necesitan.
They don’t waste their precious time in this world fighting against something they can’t change.
En cambio, abrazan su fe y sacan lo mejor de ella.
Cuando tienes una fe tan fuerte, sabes que algunas personas y cosas no están destinadas a suceder.
You don’t look for a further explanation on why some events did or didn’t take place in your life.
You don’t obsess over all the what ifs and could have or should have beens. You don’t focus on potential and you never doubt God’s decisions.
Consequently, you don’t live your life in the past. You know it’s behind you and gone and that there is nothing you can do about it.
So, you don’t spend years trying to look for cierre. You’re not racking your brains in a search of an explanation.
En lugar de eso, aceptas pacíficamente lo que te depare la vida y canalizas tus esfuerzos para sacar lo mejor de ella.
Agradecido por todo
La mejor característica de los verdaderos creyentes es que agradecen todo lo que reciben de Dios.
Yes, you heard right: they’re even agradecido for the things they don’t like.
Cuando un no creyente se enfrenta a una situación difícil, la ve como una maldición.
Ven cada pequeño inconveniente como el fin del mundo y como lo peor que les podría pasar.
Sin embargo, cuando tienes fe, ves las mismas cosas que un bendición. Even when you encounter something negative, you know it’s a gift from God.
Entonces, ¿quién eres tú para cuestionar Sus decisiones?
De hecho, cada bache en el camino no es más que un peldaño hacia algo más grande. Cada problema te acerca un pie a la solución.
Los versículos de la Biblia dicen lo siguiente:
“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus,” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)
“Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God.” (Hebrews 6:1 OEB)
“Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:19-20, NIV).
Tal vez perdiste tu trabajo o alguien que pensabas que era tu alma gemela se alejó de ti.
Maybe your friends abandoned you or you’re going through a family crisis.
While someone who doesn’t have faith installed in their heart will see all of this as unjust or even as an excuse to turn their back on God, a real believer observes things differently.
If you have unwavering faith, you’ll be thankful for each one of these hard times.
You’ll see them as a test of your faith and as a challenge that was sent to you to build you into the person you were meant to be all along.
Después de todo, Jesucristo utiliza los Nuevos Testamentos para declarar dificultades y tiempos dolorosos a la gente.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
“Because He himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.” (Hebrews 2:18)
Las decepciones son lecciones
Precisamente por eso, todos los que tienen una fe inquebrantable nunca ven las cosas malas y los momentos difíciles como decepciones.
En cambio, son lo suficientemente sabios como para observarlas como lecciones duras pero valiosas.
Si le dieras a la mayoría de la gente la oportunidad de borrar todos los errores de su pasado, la mayoría aceptaría la sugerencia sin pensárselo dos veces.
Sin embargo, aquellos cuya alma se alimenta de fe nunca correrían ese riesgo. ¿Por qué?
Well, they’re aware that by erasing their wrongdoings, they would also delete all the lecciones esas experiencias les enseñaron.
Cuando entregas tu corazón a la persona equivocada, te enseñan muchas cosas sobre el amor.
Yes, you probably go through a serious heartbreak but after that, you know what you want and don’t want from a relationship.
Cuando pasas algún tiempo ejerciendo una profesión poco satisfactoria, sigues aprendiendo mucho sobre ese trabajo.
Te aporta una valiosa experiencia y te abre el camino hacia el trabajo que realmente deseas.
Cuando te traicionan tus mejores amigos, aprendes que no todo el mundo es digno de tu confianza.
Cuando te abandonan tus seres más cercanos, te das cuenta de que puedes salir adelante solo.
Your strengths wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the times when you were weak.
Your smile wouldn’t have the same importance if it weren’t for all those tears you cried.
You wouldn’t have the ability to differentiate between right and personas equivocadas si nunca hubieras conocido a este último.
You wouldn’t know how much you can handle if you hadn’t had to carry some heavy burden on your shoulders.
You wouldn’t love yourself the way you do if all those people hadn’t hated you.
You wouldn’t appreciate yourself and would never have realized your worth if they hadn’t treated you disrespectfully.
Most importantly: you wouldn’t love God and you wouldn’t have unwavering faith if your life hadn’t gone exactly how it has until this point.
Sólo quiero decirte que, por muy fuerte que sea tu fe, siempre puedes hacerlo mejor.
You can always respect God’s word more and try harder to deserve His eternal glory. Just believe in God’s promises and never lose your faith.
