From the cave.

These days ago, those moments of processes in my life came to my memory. The perspective is very different when you see the processes once you have passed them, as you see them when you are inside them: it is not the same to be inside the cave, to be outside of it.

Every time I think of an example in the bible of determination, I think of Daniel. A boy who has clear was the most important thing in his life: please God. But even when he lived to please God, he experienced being in a cave —not in whatever cave— but one with lions. (Daniel 6).

What happened to Daniel was a process, at that particular moment in his life. If we define the word "process" (in the natural) we understand that they are activities and resources that "transform" input elements into output elements or results. From the angle of God, it is those activities and resources that transform something in you (from a certain area of ​​your life) into a better result —an improved version of yourself.

**It is the reason why caves (processes) are necessary.

We all have something that we need to be transformed.

I want you to learn two things today through this story of Daniel:

• It takes you to understand your processes. Many times we want people around us to understand our processes, but not everyone will do it. When they put Daniel inside the cave of lions, the bible says that ''they covered the cave with a very large stone...'' (v.17); that is, nobody really could see what happened inside, in fact everyone believed that Daniel was going to die inside that cave.

Only Daniel and God knew what was going on inside that cave. Only you and God know what is happening inside your process: what has hurt, what you have cried, the fear you have felt but also what you have prayed. Maybe some people have supported you —bless them!— but they are still outside your cave. Because there are processes where only you and God are. With this I don't say that you can't seek help, counseling, a shoulder to lean on... but so that you understand that there are transformations that happen in your life that are good to happen «alone with God».

• 2. It happens that the next day, the king of the nation, gives order to remove the stone from the cave where Daniel was, he call him (with little hope that he was alive, v.20), from inside Daniel replies: "My God sent his angel to close the mouths of the lions, so that they would not harm me..." v.22a. Daniel was alive and without any harm!

This so astonished the king, that from that day he ordered that in the whole nation the God that Daniel adored should be recognized. What is the second thing I want you to learn today? Well, from the cave you can influence and inspire others. Some think that only from the palace can influence others, but it isn't so, from where you are passing your processes you can show how amazing God is.

I don't know what has been your cave, but today I want to encourage you to resist the process. One day you will look back and say: it was worth it!.

I hug you!
