Review of the Name:


Here is a section of of my first post when I first started my blog, just to give another rewind of the meaning behind the name. 
Nada que dar : Nothing to Give. The Lord has been teaching me lately about self righteousness and about the filthiness of sin. He has been revealing to me that when we do things of ourselves any righteous acts are like filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6 says, “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.”
            Christ + nothing = everything When we out of our flesh begin to try and offer Christ our deeds it doesn’t work. There is nothing we can give or do to fulfill Christ. He’s self sustaining and all powerful. Christ + nothing = everything. Because of this I have come to this place of complete humbleness realizing that I am nothing, and Christ is everything. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches, If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” So this is where I come to the realization that not only can I do thing without Christ, I myself have “Nada que dar” Nothing to give. It is only when I am in Christ that my deeds go from selfish flesh to bringing glory to, and furthering His Kingdom, which is what I strive for.  Psalms 73:25 says, “Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail but You are my strength and my portion forever.”
