(Espa\u00f1ol abajo)<\/em><\/p>

For a long time, I avoided physical and emotional pain. Studying medicine taught me more deeply that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. For example, a headache will make you feel irritable and tired. A loss will make you feel sick to your stomach. Our body works wonderfully, and whatever affects it will often produce a chain reaction, causing results that can be catastrophic if not treated soon enough.<\/p>

When my life felt peaceful, God allowed me to experience a significant loss that exposed a lot of sick areas that He needed to treat intensively. I experienced denial for several months and locked myself up at work, unable to connect with God or the people around me because I could not see beyond the pain. My body started to show what my mouth and my heart wanted to keep silent: night terrors, weight loss, dizziness, and lack of concentration were some of the symptoms that the Lord allowed to open my gaze to the depths of my being. The guilt for not being able to save the life of my family member broke my heart, and that was when I asked myself: Can I trust God?<\/strong><\/p>

As I lived through the restoration process, God loved me perfectly by showing me His absolute sovereignty and infinite wisdom in the good and the adversity, as it says in Lamentations 3:37-38: \u201cWho can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?”<\/em><\/p>

Then I realized that I was to experience intense and overwhelming emotions within God\u2019s plan because He was building in me a strong faith through a more profound knowledge of Himself. That led me to a more intimate relationship with greater confidence in His answers to my prayers and to seek support from other sisters in faith.<\/p>

Today, I want to remind you that, during the dark days, God inclines His ear to listen! <\/strong>(Psalm 116:2) He has a perfect plan to transform every area of your life that He needs to improve, even if he allows suffering. Because trusting God is not a matter of feelings but of will. You can trust that \u201cHe will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.<\/em>\u201d (Revelation 21:4)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

SORPRENDIDA POR EL SUFRIMIENTO<\/strong><\/h4>

Durante mucho tiempo hu\u00ed del dolor f\u00edsico y emocional. Cuando estudi\u00e9 medicina entend\u00ed m\u00e1s profundamente que el cuerpo, la mente y el esp\u00edritu est\u00e1n interconectados. Por ejemplo, un dolor de cabeza te har\u00e1 sentir irritable y cansada. Una p\u00e9rdida te generar\u00e1 malestares estomacales. Nuestro cuerpo funciona de una manera maravillosa y lo que est\u00e9 afectado en \u00e9l siempre producir\u00e1 una reacci\u00f3n en cadena provocando resultados que pueden ser catastr\u00f3ficos, si no son tratados a tiempo.<\/p>

Cuando mi vida parec\u00eda tranquila, Dios me permiti\u00f3 vivir una gran p\u00e9rdida que destap\u00f3 un c\u00famulo de \u00e1reas enfermas que \u00c9l deb\u00eda tratar en mi con urgencia. Experiment\u00e9 la negaci\u00f3n durante varios meses y me encerr\u00e9 en el trabajo, no lograba conectarme con Dios, ni con las personas a mi alrededor porque no ve\u00eda m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del dolor. Mi cuerpo empez\u00f3 a hablar lo que mi boca y mi coraz\u00f3n quer\u00edan callar: terrores nocturnos, p\u00e9rdida de peso, mareos, falta de concentraci\u00f3n, fueron algunos de los s\u00edntomas que el Se\u00f1or permiti\u00f3 para abrir mi mirada hacia lo profundo en mi ser. La culpa por no poder salvarle la vida a este familiar me rompi\u00f3 el coraz\u00f3n y fue cuando me pregunt\u00e9: \u00bfPuedo confiar en Dios?<\/strong><\/p>

Al vivir el proceso de restauraci\u00f3n, Dios me am\u00f3 tan perfectamente al mostrarme Su absoluta soberan\u00eda e infinita sabidur\u00eda en lo bueno y lo malo, como dice en Lamentaciones 3:37-38 \u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n puede anunciar algo y hacerlo realidad sin que el Se\u00f1or d\u00e9 la orden? \u00bfNo es acaso por mandato del Alt\u00edsimo que acontece lo bueno y lo malo?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>

Entonces comprend\u00ed que dentro del plan de Dios yo deb\u00eda experimentar emociones \u00e1lgidas y abrumadoras, porque \u00c9l estaba formando en m\u00ed una fe firme a trav\u00e9s del conocimiento m\u00e1s profundo sobre \u00c9l. Eso me llev\u00f3 a una relaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s \u00edntima con mayor confianza en Sus respuestas a mis oraciones y buscar el apoyo en otras hermanas de la fe.<\/p>

Hoy quiero recordarte que durante los d\u00edas oscuros, \u00a1Dios se inclina para escuchar!<\/strong> (Salmo 116:2) \u00c9l tiene un plan perfecto para transformar cada \u00e1rea de tu vida que necesite mejorar aunque permita el sufrimiento, porque confiar en Dios no es cuesti\u00f3n de sentimientos sino de la voluntad. Puedes confiar en que \u201cDios enjugar\u00e1 toda l\u00e1grima de sus ojos; y la muerte no existir\u00e1 m\u00e1s, ni habr\u00e1 m\u00e1s angustia [pena y luto] ni aflicci\u00f3n ni dolor, porque las antiguas condiciones y el antiguo orden de las cosas han pasado<\/em>.\u201d (Apocalipsis 21:4)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
