Don't Waste a Crisis

Un excelente artículo de John Ortberg en Leadership Journal, edición de invierno 2011, sobre las crisis en nuestras vidas como hijos e hijas de Dios. Abajo una de mis citas favoritas,

Crisis reminds me that control is an illusion.

One of the most misquoted verses you'll never find in the Bible is this one: "God will never give me more than I can handle."

Huh? Really? Where's that one? Poverty, genocide, war, failure, mental illness—people are given more than they can handle all the time! The Bible does say that no temptation is given to people without a way out, but that's about temptation, not adversity. The Bible does not promise that you will only be given what you can handle. In fact, the one certainty of your life is you will die—and you definitely can't handle that! You will never be placed in a situation God can't handle.

God isn't at work producing the circumstances I want. God is at work in bad circumstances to produce the me he wants.
