The room with no exit.

It must be horrible to stay trapped in a room and that for more you look for a way out don't find it. If you are someone who suffers from claustrophobia, I think only the thought of thinking it can be fatal. What we don't realize is that every day we live inside a room like this. Your ''room'' is located in your heart. And as you struggle between doing or not doing God's will, you are trapped in it, and then you can't find a way out.

In the bible I see the story of King Saul (1 Samuel 9-31), a man whom God chose to reign over Israel. Saul experienced having a free heart (a room) to do God's will, and the more he was within that will, the more victories he saw along with the people. The interesting thing is that Saul trusted himself too much (1 Samuel 14 and 15). He believed that because he experienced this, things would remain the same even if he did his own will. He did not realize that in his heart he began to create his own room with no way out. Saul marked the end of his reign or purpose, when he did everything, except what God asked him to do, 1 Samuel 15:28, NIV, Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.''

Realize that you are inside this type of room, when you begin to make decisions without consulting or without having the approval of God. Maybe this makes you think '' that God so selfish! do only what he wants "- it is not about God being selfish (because he is not), but that He knows what is best for you and most importantly knows what keeps you within His purpose-. I reach the point in my life where I began to pray with tears in my eyes and with my heart squeezed (because giving in and dying to our will hurts at the beginning) like this: "Lord, if this is not in your will: remove it, move it away and set it aside; because if it doesn't come from you, even if it hurts, I don't want it in my life. " And when I began to pray in this way, God began to surprise me.

What was taken away from my life is not comparable to what God has given me now. I'm still learning, but I can tell you that dying to my will has been much better than I thought. I finish with this: don't do more or do less than what God is sending you to do. But to know what you have to do, you need a closer relationship with them three: God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I bless you and hug you!
