Un corazón para Dios es un corazón que sólo está interesado en complacerle a Él. Se describe a una persona quien pone la Palabra y la voluntad de Dios más alta que cualquier otra cosa. Si nos ponemos a examinar la vida común y corriente de una persona, observaríamos algo como esto: Cada persona desea ir a la Universidad y obtener un titulo; luego trabajar y tener un buen salario Algunos, quizás, llegar a ser el dueño de su propia empresa y formar una familia estable y cubrir todas las necesidades; pero quiero decirte, , si Jesucristo no es el centro de tu vida y el dueño de tu corazón, de nada te valen todos los esfuerzos; simple y llanamente estarías perdiendo el tiempo. El señor Jesús en su palabra dijo: Porque ¿Qué aprovechara al hombre si ganare todo el mundo y perdiere su alma? (Mateo 16:16).
Entonces, fíjese que el Señor como que nos está preguntando, dónde está tu tesoro, dónde está tu énfasis en la vida. Dónde está el enfoque de tu mente, dónde están tus afectos, dónde está lo que verdaderamente cuenta para ti, porque de la respuesta a esa pregunta muchas cosas van a partir. Dependiendo de dónde está el enfoque de nuestra vida, a qué es lo que nosotros le damos más importancia, dónde está el marco de nuestra existencia, dónde está el asiento, podríamos decir, el asiento de nuestra vida, el fundamento. Todo el mundo vive la vida sin darse cuenta muchas veces con un fundamento, una base, un marco de referencia y la palabra dice dónde está el marco de referencia de tu vida, dónde está el enfoque, el fundamento, porque dependiendo de eso, eso va a determinar tus prioridades, tus acciones, tus opciones que escojas y también va a determinar cómo tu reaccionas cuando vienen los momentos de crisis y de dificultad y de amenaza y de sufrimiento, pérdida, padecimiento, decepción o lo que sea, cuando las cosas no te van como tu esperabas, dependiendo de dónde esté el marco de referencia de tu vida, el enfoque va a determinar cómo tu reaccionas. Y la palabra nos dice cuál debe ser el marco de referencia, pero también dice hay otro marco de referencia que pertenece a la gente del mundo, la gente que no conoce de la eternidad, la gente que no conoce la palabra de Dios, nos dice, ese marco de referencia no es para ustedes, hijos de Dios, ese es para los hijos del mundo.
La cosa más importante para usted se mostrará en todo lo que usted haga.¿Qué le maneja y motiva a usted cada día? ¿Es la acumulación de riquezas materiales o está usted buscando de verdad el llegar a ser lo que Dios ha destinado que usted sea? Uno de los hombres más ricos del mundo y dueño de una red de hoteles llegó, a decir antes de morir: “soy el hombre más miserable del mundo”. El famoso escritor Gabriel García Márquez confesó sentirse tan solo, como los personajes de sus novelas. Primeramente, no estoy en contra de que cada día nos superemos en todas las áreas de la vida y seamos excelentes aún más; pero lo que he podido ver, es que el hombre insiste en quitarle la gloria a Dios y el lugar que el merece. Tenemos que reconocer a Dios en todos sus caminos. El sabio Salomón escribió en Proverbios 3:5-7, “fíate de del Señor de todo tu corazón, y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia, reconócelo en todos tus caminos y él enderezara todas tus veredas, no seas sabio en tu propia opinión, teme al Señor, y apártate del mal”. Muchos acontecimientos como los del Titanic, los Ataques Terroristas a las Torres Gemelas, la Caída del Trasbordador Columbia, son solo una señal de que existe un Dios y que tiene el control de todo el Universo. Una hoja de un árbol no cae al suelo si Él, no lo permite.
Debemos poner en primer lugar a Dios en todos nuestros caminos, hay caminos que al hombre le parecen correctos pero su fin, es un fin de perdición. Por que la paga del pecado es la muerte, mas la dádiva o el regalo de Dios para la humanidad es vida eterna, vida después de esta vida. (Romanos 6.23). Pero, hay buenas noticias; no todo esta perdido como muchos piensan y si hay una esperanza para esta humanidad. Dios diseño un plan maravilloso para tu vida y desea que tu entres en su reposo. Jesús dijo: “venid a mi todos los estéis trabajados y cargados y yo os haré descansar “ (Mateo 11:28) Él desea que pongas todas tus cargas sobre Él Y Él te promete darte la paz. Dios te ama a pesar de lo que eres y no por lo que puedas llegar a representar en esta vida. “He aquí yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entrare a él y cenare con él y él conmigo”. (Apocalipsis 3:20).
Mi corazón no puede estar en algo que pasara, mucho menos en una persona que jamás te dará salvación, pues el único que te puede dar vida eterna es JESÚS, es por ello que como hijos suyos enamorados de su misericordia y amor tenemos cada día que tratar de guardar y proteger ese TESORO llamado VIDA ETERNA.
Where is your treasure? Where is your heart? Part 1 Matthew 6:21 states, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart." Will you develop a heart for God? You can do first to examine and locate yourself honestly what has become his focus. I ask you in this hour: What would your reply if someone asked, "Do you have a heart for God?" What is the obstacle for which even do not want Christ to come?, Your Family?, Is your work?, Your Money?, Your goods?, Your love?, Do your children?, Your Marriage?, Your sin?, what would be the reason that if Christ decided to come tomorrow, you not want that to happen yet?
A heart for God is a heart that is only interested in pleasing unto Him He describes a person who puts the word and will of God higher than anything else. If we examine the ordinary life of a person, we would see something like this: Everyone wants to go to college and get a degree, then work and have a good salary Some, perhaps, become the master of his own company and form a stable family and cover all needs, but I tell you, if Jesus Christ is the center of your life and your own heart, nothing will worth every effort, plain and simple you'd be wasting your time. The Lord Jesus said in his word: “For what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? “Matthew 16:16 Then, look to the Lord as we are wondering, where is your treasure, where is your focus in life. Where is the focus of your mind, where are your feelings, where what really counts for you, because the answer to that question many things will go. Depending on where the focus of our life, what we give more importance, where the framework of our existence, where is the seat, we might say, the seat of our lives, the foundation. Everyone lives life without realizing it many times with a foundation, a base, a frame of reference and the word says where is the framework of your life, where the approach, rationale, because depending on that, that will determine your priorities, your actions, your choices and you choose will determine how you react when they come times of crisis and difficulty and threat and suffering, loss, suffering, disappointment, or whatever, when things not going as you expected, depending on where the framework of your life, the focus will determine how you react. And the word tells us what should be the framework, but also says no other framework that belongs to the people of the world, people who do not know of eternity, people who do not know the word of God, says , that framework is not for you, children of God, that's for the children of the world.

The most important thing for you will show in everything you do. What drives and motivates you every day? Is the accumulation of material wealth or are you looking for truly become what God intended you to be? One of the world's richest men and owner of a network of hotels came to say before he died: "I am the most miserable man in the world." The famous writer Gabriel García Márquez confessed to being just like the characters in his novels. First, I'm not against that every day we overcome in all areas of life and be even more excellent, but what I have seen, is that the man insists on taking away the glory of God and the place he deserves. We must acknowledge God in all his ways. The wise Solomon wrote in Proverbs 3:5-7, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths all, do not be wise in your own opinion fear the Lord, and depart from evil. " Many events such as the Titanic, the Terrorist Attacks on the Twin Towers, the Fall of the shuttle Columbia are just a sign that there is a God and that has control of the whole universe. A leaf of a tree does not fall to the ground if He does not.
We must put God first in all our ways, “there are ways that seem right to man but its end is an end of perdition. For the wages of sin is death but the gift or the gift of God for mankind is eternal life, life after life. (Romans 6.23)”. But there is good news, not all is lost as many think and if there is a hope for humankind. God designed a wonderful plan for your life and you want to enter into his rest. Jesus said, "Come unto me all ye heavy laden and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28) He wants to put all your cares on Him And He promises to give you peace. God loves you despite what you are and what you can not get to play in this life. "Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and opens the door, come in to him and sup with him and he with me." (Revelation 3:20).
My heart can not be something that happened, let alone a person who never gives you salvation, as the only one who can give eternal life is Jesus, which is why we as His children in love with his mercy and love we have every day try to save and protect this treasure called ETERNAL LIFE.
