Pay Attention To SignsJulie Ackerman LinkThe
road was smooth and we were making good progress as we headed for Jay’s
dad’s house in South Carolina. As
we drove through the mountains in Tennessee, I began seeing detour

you see the signs?” “No,” he said, “why didn’t you mention them?” “I
assumed that you saw them,” I answered. We now tell this story to entertain our friends.

Así como una casa necesita una limpieza constante para permanecer habitable, el corazón también necesita desinfectarse constantemente para seguir siendo la morada del Espíritu Santo. Desinfectar el corazón es más que simplemente olvidar lo que nos ha herido. Es permitir que Dios entre en cada rincón de nuestra alma, eliminando lo que no proviene de él. Es abrir las ventanas de nuestro corazón para que la luz del amor de Dios entre y disipe la oscuridad del orgullo, la ira y la incredulidad. Esta limpieza no ocurre de repente. Es un proceso diario que se logra mediante la oración sincera, el arrepentimiento verdadero y la lectura de la Palabra. Cuando entregamos al Señor lo que nos agobia, él cambia la su...
