2 Samuel 13: ¿Amor o capricho? Cuidado con las obsesiones.
2 Samuel 13:1-17 RVA2015:
(Por favor, leer en su biblia)
-----------------------------
Este es un episodio muy doloroso en la vida de David. La familia real fue sacudida por un acto vergonzoso y vil de parte de Amnón, hijo de David y medio hermano de Tamar y Absalón que eran hermanos.
Aquí vemos un ejemplo claro de lo que es confundirse con las emociones y deseos. Amnón pensó que él estaba sinceramente enamorado de Tamar, su hermana. ¡Sus emociones eran tan fuertes que hasta se estaba enfermando! Había caído en ansiedad y depresión porque no encontraba manera de demostrar su amor a su medio-hermana, pues realmente no era la costumbre que entre medio hermanos pudieran tener una relación amorosa.
Fue hasta que este joven siguió el mal consejo de un mal amigo, y planeó sorprender a Tamar cuando estuvieran solos y abusar de ella.
Después de haber cumplido su deseo y sentirse satisfecho, la despreció. Todo el supuesto amor que le profesaba y sentía por ella se convirtió en repudio, rechazándola y expulsándola de su casa. En ese momento, él se dio cuenta que era simplemente un impulso carnal y no era un verdadero sentimiento de amor.
Al repudiarla, Amnón cometió otra falta gravísima de la que ya había hecho. Esto iba a causarle más adelante una consecuencia fatal.
Hoy podemos aprender que debemos cuidar nuestras vidas cuando de emociones se trata. Como esposos debemos guardar nuestros corazones, especialmente en tiempos de conflictos maritales. Van a aparecer personas usadas por satanás que van a querer convencernos que nos aman, que abandonemos el hogar por las ilusiones de alguien que solo quiere un rato de placer carnal.
También debemos enseñar a nuestros hijos jóvenes que no se dejen llevar de emociones, pensando que no van a poder vivir sin el amor de algún joven o jovencita, cuando realmente esa relación es muy prematura, superficial, y que es mejor esperar y no apresurar las relaciones amorosas, y más bien llevar las cosas con calma, esperando a que sea el Señor confirmando si ese sentimiento hacia una persona es realmente amor o simplemente un capricho o ilusión, o una obsesión desenfrenada que nubla el sentido común. Tengamos cuidado con esas clases de sentimientos fuertes que engañan y decepcionan.

2 Samuel 13: Love or whim? Beware of obsessions.
2 Samuel 13:1-17:
After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her. But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man. And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.” So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’ ” Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.” And David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Now go to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.” So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. And she took the pan and placed them out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Have everyone go out from me.” And they all went out from him. Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom. Now when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.” But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing! And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.” However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her. Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!” So she said to him, “No, indeed! This evil of sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me.” But he would not listen to her. Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, “Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her.”

This is a very painful episode in David's life. The royal family was shaken by a shameful and vile act on the part of Amnon, son of David and half-brother of Tamar and Absalom who were brother and sister.
Here we see a clear example of what it is to be confused with emotions and desires. Amnon thought that he was sincerely in love with Tamar, his sister. His emotions were so strong that he was even getting sick! He had fallen into anxiety and depression because he couldn't find a way to show his love to his half-sister, since it really wasn't the custom for half-siblings to have a loving relationship.
It was until this young man followed the bad advice of a bad friend, and planned to surprise Tamar when they were alone and abuse her.
After having fulfilled his wish and feeling satisfied, he despised her. All the supposed love that he professed and felt for her turned into rejection, rejecting her and expelling her from his house. At that moment, he realized that it was simply a carnal impulse and not a true feeling of love.
By repudiating her, Amnon committed another very serious offense that he had already done. This was going to cause him later a fatal consequence.
Today we can learn that we must take care of our lives when it comes to emotions. As husband and wife we must guard our hearts, especially in times of marital conflict. People used by satan will appear who will want to convince us that they love us, that we leave home for the illusions of someone who just wants a moment of carnal pleasure.
We must also teach our young children not to get carried away by emotions, thinking that they will not be able to live without the love of some young man or woman, when really that relationship is very premature, superficial, and that it is better to wait and not rush loving relationships, and rather take things calmly, waiting for the Lord to confirm if that feeling towards a person is really love or simply a whim or illusion, or an unbridled obsession that clouds common sense. Let's be careful with those kinds of strong feelings that deceive and disappoint.
