A ti te hablo! || I'm talking to you!
Jesus said to him: If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me. Here we can observe the importance of the decision individually

We have many examples of decisions, below we will see Daniel's case:
And Daniel resolved in his heart not to defile himself with the portion of the king's food, nor with the wine that he drank; He therefore asked the chief eunuch not to force him to defile himself.
Daniel 1:8
We see in this painting that "Daniel proposed in his heart", this has nothing to do with his friends, although He and his friends were in the same conditions.
Later we see the difficult situation in which they were sent to the fiery furnace for not worshiping other gods, these young people "had purposed in their hearts", As usual, it is seen that these young people had a total condition and they did not calculate that if they did not deny the Lord they would be delivered. Today our struggles are perhaps nothing compared to Daniel's. We see the following
Try diligently to present yourself approved to God, as a worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, who uses the word of truth well.
2 Timothy 2:15
Here again Paul addresses young Timothy personally: "You, seek diligently." In these moments we can deduce that God motivates us to make a decision, of any kind and for which we take responsibility for whatever it may be. The call to decide is individual, not "if one does, then I do too", the Lord wants to deal with each of us personally, don't forget it.

Jesús le dijo: Si quiero que él quede hasta que yo venga, ¿qué a ti? Sígueme tú. Aqui podemos observar la importancia de la decisión de manera individual

Tenemos muchos ejemplos de decisiones, a continuación veremos el caso de Daniel:
Y Daniel propuso en su corazón no contaminarse con la porción de la comida del rey, ni con el vino que él bebía; pidió, por tanto, al jefe de los eunucos que no se le obligase a contaminarse.
Daniel 1:8
Vemos en este cuadro que "Daniel propuso en su corazón", esto no tiene nada que ver que sus amigos, auque Él y sus amigos estaban en las mismas condiciones.
Mas adelante vemos la difícil situación en la que fueron enviados al horno de fuego por no adorar otros dioses, estos jóvenes "se habían propuesto en su corazón", Como es habitual, se ve que estos jóvenes tenían una condición total y no calculaban que si ellos no negaban al Señor serían librados. Hoy en día nuestras luchas quizás no son nada comparadas a la de Daniel. Vemos lo siguiente
Procura con diligencia presentarte a Dios aprobado, como obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que usa bien la palabra de verdad.
2 Timoteo 2:15
