RETURN

For six months I  have been waiting for my wife and kids finally two weeks ago they come back to me.  I am super excited and grateful with the Lord for allowing  me to see my family and for keeping them safe in another country.  These six months were slow and my house and my bed felt cold, every night when I went to bed and every morning when I woke up. Now my house is loud and all the food is gone… so I may change my mind hahahaha just kidding I love it!  
            But too much about me let’s talk about God and His love toward us. For the past three months I have been teaching my church the old testament. Yes, sometimes it can be boring and some books are like long books without pictures …yes I know they are something else.  Now we are in 2 Samuel and every time I study a book I see how we humans keep pushing God away while God keeps and wants to get closer to us. Don’t ask me why I don’t have an idea.  What a great God we have, since the beginning the only thing he wants is to love us, and constantly I ask myself WHY?  Look at us sinful creatures we never choose Him first and he always chooses us first.  We never love him first and always loved us first.  This is what I have learned God created the most perfect creature, but not by himself and He said LET’S make men. So who He is talking to???  And then He walks with men.  WHAT!!! Do you understand this; He was walking with them basically hanging out, chilling with these two humans.  This is our God, a powerful God, that wants to hang out with us. 
   Well this didn’t work out so He said so sorry guys but I have to kick you out because I am holy and you are not anymore, but don’t worry I will be with you and we cans still talk.  Then many years went by and God said this is not working for me so He found a guy that He liked and He called him Abraham.  God told him from you and your descendant’s kings will rise and I will make you great and He did and He made the first pact with a human.
    Then God spotted another dude and He called him Noah, well this guy was different, but was an amazing builder and God told him, hey you guess what?  You will build and arc and I will bless you and your descendants because of your obedience. And He did, so God made the second pact with another human.    
    Then He raises up Moses and told him hey you, build an arc so that my presence and my spirit can be closer to you guys. In that way I can hang out with you guys as it was intended, but you guys have to come back to me.  So God made the third pact with humans
But the people didn’t want this they were not excited of having a God a King or a Father that loves them they want a ruler.  They want something that they can see and touch, they don’t want God.  By now many years past and one day God heard a crazy woman crying and God thought what’s wrong with her, why she screaming, is she drunk?  God said ohhhh this is Hannah so God remembered her and gave her a baby and she called him Samuel. One day when Samuel was already older the people asked him, hey you guess what??!! And Samuel answer WHAT !!! The people said we want a King.  So Samuel answered… you have a king and the people replied no we want a king made out of flesh, so God said do what they want. God still wanted a relationship with these people so God said ok I will give them what they want and guess what they were wrong again. The people chose a gringo… well wasn’t a gringo but he looked like one (probably not) apparently this guy was a good looking dude and tall …yeah probably that’s it.  Guess what this didn’t work what can I do God ask himself???                  How can I demonstrate my love, I have done everything, I have made pacts with them, I have made signs and miracles, I have saved them so many times, I have made them great among all the nations, I have heard they cry and saved them, I have made them my people, I have given them kings just to get closer to them. Just to be able to hang out with them when are they are going to come back to me, how long I have to wait for them? So God said to himself  I have an idea what about if I give them the best of me what about if I send my kid maybe they will listen to him and finally they can come back to me.  

        My brothers and sisters this is what God wants from you to return to him if you ask yourself what does God want from me the answer is simple FOLLOW ME.  I love my family so much and I was so eager to see them again!  Just imagine how long has God been waiting for you and how long will you keep him waiting.  Two things I will tell you: love God and love his people.
