Full life - Sealed with the Spirit
Faustino de Jesús Zamora VargasGod stamped his stamp of grace in the lives of his children, he sealed us forever. The influence of his divine nature permeated our human condition and when we were dead in life, he poured out his Spirit complete with a transfusion of blessings to renew us with a new life, guarantee of our inheritance in Christ . "And the one who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a guarantee" (2 Cor 5.5).
There are not many occasions when we meditate on what we have, but on what we supposedly lack. We beg for blessings and do not realize that we are already complete. Fears beset us, misfocused expectations of the world creep through the gaps we leave open. Stress shakes us. Inner peace seems like an elusive goal. The spouse who adulterated his partner, the son who leaves home to enjoy other freedoms without religious commitments, the father who has already lost hope that God will smile on him for once; low wages and life overwhelmed by day-to-day struggles, little self-esteem. Spiritual dryness due to little faith. Rivers of living water that the heart has stopped pumping. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: 'From the depths of his being will flow rivers of living water.'" (John 7:38)
