Breath Of LifeIn his book Life After Heart Surgery, David Burke recalls his close brush with death. Lying
in his hospital bed after a second open-heart surgery, he found
himself in incredible pain, unable to draw a full breath. Feeling that he was slipping toward eternity, he prayed one last time, trusting God and thanking Him for forgiveness of his sin. David
was thinking about seeing his dad, who had died several years earlier,
when his nurse asked how he was feeling. He replied, “I’m okay now,” explaining he was ready to go to heaven and meet God. “Not on my shift, buddy!” she said.
Soon the doctors were opening his chest again and
removing two liters of fluid. That done, David began to recover.
God
fashioned our days even before we existed (Ps. 139:16),
and
we exist now only because “the
breath of the Almighty gives [us]
life” (Job 33:4). Though
we don’t know how many
breaths we have left—we can rest in
the
knowledge that He does.

Me buscarán y me encontrarán cuando me busquen de todo corazón. (Jeremías 29:13) Muchos saben sobre la vida de Jesús y sus milagros principales, pero pocos lo conocen a él de verdad. Conocer a Jesús va más allá de saber quién es él. No se le puede conocer sin buscarlo de verdad. Aquel que busca su presencia en espíritu y en verdad lo encontrará (Juan 4:23-24). Conocer a Jesús es andar según su Palabra y ser un imitador suyo (1 Corintios 11:1). Más que querer o decir palabras, es necesario actuar, decidir. Cuando buscamos a Jesús de todo corazón, él se nos revela. Esa cercanía con él transforma nuestra vida. Si aún no has tenido esa experiencia, búscala. ¡Jesús también desea conocerte! Conociendo a Jesús Para conocer a Jesús, lo primero que necesitas hacer es invitarle. Abre tu corazón y deja que Jesús entre en tu vida. Acéptale.Lee el Evangelio de Juan y sabrás cuánto Jesús te ama. Búscalo en oración. Dedica un tiempo de tu día para hablar con él. Para orar: Jesús, quiero conocerte más...
