How to position ourselves before God?<\/p>\n

1st. TRY TO KNOW GOD MORE AND MORE. NOT RELIGIOUSLY OR SOMETHING SYSTEMATIC.
\n<\/p>\n

Are you currently satisfied with the degree of intimacy in your relationship with God? Do you already know Him well enough?<\/p>\n

There is much more God has to offer us and we can enjoy a greater intimacy with Him, but how?
\nBy seeking Him and willingly listen and speak to Him, like when you have a conversation with someone you love. Not just when something happens or you need something from Him.<\/p>\n

“I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.\u201d (Pv.8: 17)<\/p>\n

2nd MEDITATE ON HIS CHARACTERISTICS<\/p>\n

Daniel is a great example of this. He found favor before the King\u2019s eyes because he had many characteristics that others did not have. He was different because of his intimacy with God.<\/p>\n

And you? What characteristics do you posses?<\/p>\n

Have people around you seen the reflection of God\u2019s character in you?<\/p>\n

3rd INFLUENCE OTHERS<\/p>\n

Daniel became a ruler amongst the wicked and unbelievers and thus obtained prominence and influence over them.<\/p>\n

God has called us to influence others in our generation and to pass on life to those around us, through our testimony.<\/p>\n

Influence is to create role models. We must believe in the power of multiplication that has been given to us by God. Many times we are the only reference of Christ in places we attend: At home, at work, at school or college.<\/p>\n

Daniel remained faithful in the midst of a dominant and influential society similar to the one we live in today.<\/p>\n

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king\u2019s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank… (Dn.1: 8)<\/p>\n

God wants us to make a difference, but we must renounce our own will daily.<\/p>\n

He wants to mold us into His image so we can influence the young people around us.<\/p>\n

Analyze yourself and search for these characteristics within yourself, so that you may be a youth that really makes the difference.<\/p>\n

YOUR LIFE IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR INTIMACY WITH GOD.<\/p>\n

Many hugs!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
