THE VIL AND MENSOPRECIATED OF THE WORLD I CHOOSE GOD

I do not know if it has ever happened to you that you underestimate or underestimate your appearance, your economic condition, your level of education, your gender or any other aspect. The truth is that regardless of the reason, it is an experience of rejection that can generate feelings of defeat or frustration and that can easily take root in the heart, often limiting the achievement of those purposes that have been planned to be achieved. However, this is an experience that for a child of God, instead of bringing failure brings the hope of the victory that only in Jesus Christ can be obtained. "For God takes pleasure in you when you do what you know is right and suffer patiently when you receive unfair treatment. It is obvious that there is no merit in being patient if one is beaten for having acted badly, but if they suffer for doing good and endure it with patience, God is pleased with you ". 1 Peter 2: 19-20.

Personally I have had to live many times this type of events, the good thing is that every time something of this magnitude happens to me, I simply remember what the word of God says and while those around me are considered victorious in their evil , on the contrary, I cling to the promises of God; first ignoring all kinds of negative or offensive comments that seek to harm me and hinder the work that God wants to perfect in me; and secondly, giving my offenders into the hands of God, asking Him for mercy for them because of course, in the midst of their ignorance they do not know what they say or what they do. "Well, God called you to do good, even if it means that you have to suffer, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his footsteps. He never sinned and never deceived anyone. He did not respond when they insulted him or threatened to take revenge when he suffered. He left his cause in the hands of God, who always judges with justice. " 1 Peter 2: 21-23 (New Living Translation).

I confess something, when this has happened to me I can not stop feeling sadness for these people who act according to their carnal and sinful desires, not because of what they say or do to me, but because they do not realize that to whom truly they are offending God, who is righteous and in their justice, sooner or later he will ask them to account for every idle word they have uttered and for every work of their hands. "I, the Lord, have said it, and I will fulfill it. I will act myself, and I will not retract. I will not have compassion or regret it. I will judge you according to your behavior and your actions. It is affirmed by the omnipotent Lord. " Ezekiel 24:14 (New International Version). The Lord is the one who examines each person's thoughts and intentions and will give each one what he deserves (Rev. 2:23). In addition, "I tell you the following: on the day of the trial, you will have to account for any useless word you have said. The words you say will absolve you or condemn you. " Matthew 12: 36-37 (New Living Translation).

The important thing is that as long as we have life, we all have the possibility to repent and turn at the feet of our Father, preserving the firm hope of receiving the favor of his forgiveness through Jesus Christ. So be it.

On the other hand, the most rewarding of all these experiences is knowing that we have a lawyer in heaven "Jesus Christ" who, in the midst of his justice and kindness, uses our weaknesses to exalt and glorify himself. It is beautiful to see how He, of the vile and despised of this world, of whom the world has rejected and who has been mocked, chooses to show his glory and power. So, do not mind how much they insult you, underestimate you or despise you, remember that you are in the hands of God and that He is the one who will give you His glory even in front of your opponents. Late that early, He, as His righteousness will work and all those who once reviled and defiled your name, will see the omnipotence of God. In the meantime, you should take care to love and bless them so that the Lord may have mercy on them as he has had with you.

"Bless those who persecute you. Do not curse them, but ask God in prayer to bless them. Never return anyone bad for evil. Behave in such a way that everyone will see that you are honest people. Do everything possible to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Let the just wrath of God be in charge. Well, the Scriptures say:

"I will take revenge; I will pay them what they deserve, "says the Lord. Instead, "If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them a drink. In doing so, you will pile coals of shame on your head. " Do not let evil overcome you, rather overcome evil doing good. " Romans 12:14, 17-21.

Usually those who despise others, consider themselves wiser and smarter, believe that they are superior to others and trust so much in themselves, in what they know and what they have, that they are unable to recognize that there is a God, who is attentive to everything we say and do. They think themselves so wise that they ignore the omniscience and justice of the Lord, of Jehovah of armies, of the Almighty, Lord and Lord of their lives, Lord and Lord of all creation. In short, their foolish wisdom makes them ignorant.

Nevertheless, for those of us who trust firmly in the word of God, we are clear that "God chose the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise; and the weak of the world chose God, to shame the strong; and the vile of the world and the despised chose God, and what is not, to undo what is, so that no one may boast in his presence. " 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29 (Reina Valera 1960).

So, there is no reason to be intimidated, it is a privilege to be the vile and foolish thing that this world despised but that God chose to glorify himself. All the glory, honor, recognition and honor for our Father, in Christ Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, for ever and ever. Amen.

Do not be mortified when the world despises you, rather smiles, because it is a privilege to be despised by the world to see the glory of God!
"God blesses you when people mock you and chase you and lie about you and say all kinds of bad things against you because they are my followers. Rejoice! Be happy, because a great reward awaits you in heaven! And remember that the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. "

Matthew 5: 11-12
