My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

FREE WILL



“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?  Jesus replied,”Love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “love your neighbor as yourself”. All the law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 
Matthew 22: 36-40


Hello family and friends of the Blog, remember that one of the previous messages I shared with you was written by St. Augustine. It was very important because it spoke of loyalty. Today is not a message of St. Augustine, but a wise thought I analyze of him and then got good conclusions. This is what I've done. I hope you like it

The thought says: "God created you without you, but God does not want to save you without you". This means that God did not ask us for permission to create us. He gave us life when he wanted, but His will is for us to participate in salvation. How? He does this by using our free will. Distinguishing very well the difference between good and evil in order to always do the right thing, which pleases God. What pleases God? What pleases God we all know, at least Christians because He repeated many times in his Word, the Bible.

A summary is: We must love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves. Because when we do good to others, our lives are blessed. When you show love to others, you receive double of what you gave.
This love that we give here on Earth becomes joy in the next life. We must all fight for the prize of eternal life that is Heaven. But it is important to always carry JESUSCHRIST within you. Not only should we open our hearts to God so that He can enter, but we should also search for Him in prayer. Ask for help because we need Him every second and every breath of our lives. Love God and love your neighbor right now and you are going to feel a heavenly peace. Follow Jesus now because life is short.

Remember, who does not know God, doesn’t have eternal life. In Jesus are hidden all treasures of understanding and wisdom and knowledge. So in Jesus' name I will lift up my hands to worship and open my mouth to proclaim that He is truth. Dear reader, God wants to save you, but first you have to make a decision to love Him. It's time to receive Jesus Christ in your heart right now and experience a difference in your life.

With love,
