Esta es una historia muy cercana y querida para m\u00ed. Como familia que tiene a varias personas que sufren de depresi\u00f3n, muchas veces he encontrado similitudes entre este hombre pose\u00eddo y los sentimientos que algunos de mis familiares han expresado al vivir con depresi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Aunque la depresi\u00f3n es un ejemplo muy visible, hay muchas otras cosas que nos atan. El trauma, el miedo, la enfermedad, la opresi\u00f3n, las crisis financieras; hay tantos escenarios en los que podemos sentirnos muy parecidos a este hombre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Este hombre hab\u00eda experimentado <strong>verg\u00fcenza,<\/strong> verg\u00fcenza, desnudo, encadenado, viviendo afuera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Hab\u00eda experimentado <strong>esclavitud,<\/strong> con guardias vigil\u00e1ndolo y atado con cadenas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Soledad<\/strong> en la oscuridad, siendo \u201cllevado a lugares solitarios\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Impotencia,<\/strong> a merced de los demonios. Nadie pod\u00eda ayudarlo. Ni siquiera aquellos que m\u00e1s lo amaban. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Miedo,<\/strong>sin saber qu\u00e9 har\u00eda despu\u00e9s ese esp\u00edritu maligno sin conciencia, sin compasi\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I have sometimes felt the feeling that no one could help me. I have felt hopelessness, fear, a heaviness in my heart when we were about to go through something very difficult with no way out. Many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">While pain is pain, I read this story and it takes me to a whole other level. Completely bonded, completely powerless, with no sight of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Even the ones who love him most are not coming to help him. His parents, his siblings, his friends&#8230; Because they can&#8217;t. Because they&#8217;ve tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 se sentir\u00eda, como madre, irse a dormir sabiendo que su hijo estaba all\u00e1 afuera, en el fr\u00edo y la lluvia, asustado y sin esperanza? Su peque\u00f1o, en manos de un monstruo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Aunque no puedo identificarme con esa situaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica, s\u00ed puedo identificarme con ese sentimiento de impotencia como madre. Demasiadas veces, en realidad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Besides the demon-possessed man, I bet his mom was the next most grateful that Jesus had told his disciples, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go over to the other side of the lake.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">No quiero ignorar lo obvio. No s\u00e9 por qu\u00e9 Dios libera a algunas personas de aquello que las oprime y a otras no. No soy te\u00f3loga ni experta, pero tampoco me impresiona quien afirma saberlo todo acerca de Dios, as\u00ed que no creo que eso har\u00eda mucha diferencia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A pesar de las preguntas sin respuesta, s\u00ed tengo esperanza. Como alguien que cree que Dios nos ama con un amor eterno, m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de lo que podemos imaginar, conf\u00edo en \u00c9l. Conf\u00edo en que me dar\u00e1 la sabidur\u00eda y el entendimiento que necesito para responder a cualquier situaci\u00f3n en la que me encuentre. Conf\u00edo en que \u00c9l har\u00e1 lo que solo \u00c9l puede hacer. Y conf\u00edo en que \u00c9l sabe lo que es mejor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Creo que eso es lo m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de seguir a Cristo: que me esfuerzo por seguirle porque no conozco el camino, no porque crea saber a d\u00f3nde va. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke 8:26-39 The healing of a demon-possessed man.
