Soy yo, no teman

Jn 6, 16-21

Al atardecer del día de la multiplicación de los panes, los discípulos de Jesús bajaron al lago, se embarcaron y empezaron a atravesar hacia Cafarnaúm. Ya había caído la noche y Jesús todavía no los había alcanzado. Soplaba un viento fuerte y las aguas del lago se iban encrespando.

Cuando habían avanzado unos cinco o seis kilómetros, vieron a Jesús caminando sobre las aguas, acercándose a la barca, y se asustaron. Pero él les dijo: "Soy yo, no tengan miedo". Ellos quisieron recogerlo a bordo y rápidamente la barca tocó tierra en el lugar a donde se dirigían.

GospelJN 6:16-21

When it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea,
embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum.
It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
When they had rowed about three or four miles,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat,
and they began to be afraid.
But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
They wanted to take him into the boat,
but the boat immediately arrived at the shore
to which they were heading.

Meditacion:

Cuando lei el evangelio de hoy, me sonrei por un momento... Miren lo que pasa... Jesus acaba de hacer el milagro de los peces y los panes y se retira, solo, a orar; los discipulos bajan a pescar; toman su barca, comienzan a navegar bajo un viento fuerte cuando ven venir a Jesus caminando sobre las aguas... y se asustan.

Cuando comenzamos a ver la gloria de Dios, cuando Dios comienza realmente a hacer milagros en nosotros y una cosa sucede despues de la otra y no comprendemos como aquello que veiamos tan lejano hoy esta aca.. nos asustamos.

Los humanos, tan acostumbrados a batallar, a no dar nada por garantido, cuando nos hacen facil las cosas tendemos a desconfiar.

Nuevamente, la oracion y la confianza en al amor de Dios nos salvara de ese momento de temor que aleje el favor de Dios por nuestras actitudes.

Jesus les dice a los apostoles "Soy yo, no teman" y ellos rapidamente, reconociendolo, quisieron subirlo a la barca pero ya estaban practicamente donde iban.

Hoy Jesus te dice a ti, a mi y a todos "Soy yo, no teman", confíen en mi amor y mi poder, no tienen que batallar tanto, oren y confienlo en mis manos y yo guiare tu vida al destino de gloria que desde siempre he preparado para ti. Amen

When I read the Gospel today, I smiled for a moment ... Look what happens ... Jesus has just done the miracle of the fish and the loaves and retires, alone, to pray; the disciples go down to fish; They take their boat, they start sailing under a strong wind when they see Jesus walking on the water ... and they get scared.

When we begin to see the glory of God, when God really begins to do miracles in us and one thing happens after the other and we do not understand how what we saw so far today is here ... we are scared.

Humans, so accustomed to battle, to not take anything for granted, when we make things easy we tend to distrust.

Again, prayer and trust in God's love will save us from that moment of fear that drives God's favor away from our attitudes.

Jesus tells the apostles "It's me, do not fear" and they quickly, recognizing him, wanted to put him in the boat but they were practically where they were going.

Today Jesus says to you, to me and to all "I am, do not fear", trust in my love and my power, do not have to battle so much, pray and trust in my hands and I will guide your life to the destiny of glory that from I have always prepared for you. Amen
