- From Daniel & Ivon Galante from Argentina:
El infarto fue casi fatal. El 25 de febrero de 1960, el corazón de Terri L Schiavo dejó de latir apenas por unos instantes, lo suficiente para que la sangre dejara de irrigar el cerebro. La consecuencia fue un terrible daño cerebral. En aquel entonces, Terri tenía solo 26 años. El día que escribí esta meditación falleció después de 15 años de sobrevivencia en estado vegetativo. Su caso dio la vuelta al mundo debido a una guerra judicial entre e! esposo y los padres de Terri.
Un instante. Fue apenas un instante que la sangre dejó de irrigar e! cerebro. Cuando la oxigenación de! cerebro se regularizó, ya era tarde. A partir de aquel instante, la vida de Terri cargó con consecuencias funestas. Era una vida "sin vida", que dio origen a una polémica sobre si valía o no valía la pena dejar que un ser humano "viviese" en ese estado.
Así como e! cerebro necesita oxígeno, e! ser humano necesita a Jesús. Por eso e! salmista exclama: "Tu presencia [gracia] supliqué de todo corazón".* Vivimos por la gracia. Existimos por la gracia y somos salvos únicamente por la gracia.
Si la vida es un don de Dios, como en verdad lo es, nada hicimos para merecerla. Un don es un regalo. Tú no pagas por un regalo. Solamente necesitas aceptado.
¿Cómo reaccionas ante un regalo? Generalmente, el valor de un regalo para ti va a depender de! sentimiento que tienes hacia la persona que te ofrece e! presente. ¿Cuál es e! tipo de relación que tienes con Dios? Eso es lo que va a determinar tu forma de administrar su regalo.
La vida es frágil. Hoyes, y mañana puede no ser más. Lo único que sostiene la vida es la gracia maravillosa de Dios. Separados de Dios ya no vivimos, apenas sobrevivimos, a veces en estado "vegetativo", esperando que llegue e! día en que el corazón deje de latir.
Haz de este día un día de comunión con el Señor de la Vida. No necesitas dejar de lado tus actividades cotidianas. Enfrenta los desafíos que se presentan hoy ante ti con la certeza de que no estás solo. Dios es tu constante fuerza. Él está a tu lado, a pesar de que las circunstancias adversas te hayan envuelto como densas sombras y no te dejen ver nada. Clama: "Tu presencia [gracia] supliqué de todo corazón; ten misericordia de mí según tu palabra".

May you feel the gentle touch of God caressing your brow as you pass through this valley. We are praying for you. May you hear whispers of love and comfort, even as you sleep. Sasa, so many are praying for you and even though in isolation, God will send His angels to tend and keep watch over you.You are not alone in your suffering.A writer once said...God sent Jesus to scream right along beside us...and I think of that often. I have undergone surgery and radiation and now meds for cancer this year. I was terrified of each new process and procedure but I cried out and God's presence was so near and so reassuring.He is not far and will answer when we cry....and Jesus certainly understands
ReplyDelete...and loves you very much.

Dear Sasa,
ReplyDeleteWe have been praying for you from the moment we heard that you were diagnosed with acute leukemia! We are so sorry to hear you are in such pain! May God encourage you and comfort you! Our God can move the mountains! We pray that He would comfort you as you are away from Mila Laura and Jakov, surround you with His love and the peace that surpasses all understanding. We are sending hugs and love to the beautiful Ladavac family!- Roxy and David, Chicago, IL
Sasa & Mila & Family,
ReplyDeleteWe are praying, daily, for God to work mightily on your behalf. We know that nothing is impossible with Him, and we know that He, your Creator, loves you all with a love that is deeper than you can imagine. Praying that you will be convinced of this, even in the darkest valley.
With love & prayers,
The Baker Family
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according the the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
