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.

IT IS GOOD SNIFF THE HOLINESS



We have no life, but with the life itself. And Jesus said, "I am the Life…" Out of your lap we cannot feel good. The intimate life with the Lord there is no such equal; it is as if we were already with Him over there contemplating the beauty of His holiness. It is good sniff the holiness! To all my brothers in the world, I invite you to do the same because we all have the same rights. These thoughts strengthen the soul and embellish the imagination.
 
Let us take up the gifts of the Lord. Give me Abba Father a spirit meek and a heart full of wisdom and peace. Help us to go through this world teaching of all beautiful Word of the Lord. Abba Father makes me perfect for when You call me to Your divine presence, I am prepared according to your beautiful designs of love. I recognize my great spiritual poverty, but carrying to the Lord in my heart I am rich and with power. Give me above all gifts humility that You like, that is my great desire until You take me to your holy presence; but I do not want to go alone, give me the grace to bring many souls to your blessed lap of love.
So, I motive you to pray with me this prayer:
Heavenly Father, I believe in the perfect sacrifice that you did on the cross for humanity. I know that I am a sinner; please forgive me for all of my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Make me a new creature. I accept You into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior because I know that you died on the cross for me to get me away from the slavery of sin. And I also know that You rose from the dead, and You are in Heaven now. Please write my name in the Book of Life so that I can be in Heaven with You forever. And I ask all this in your holy name, O Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
I would like you all to read this message because for you it is, yes loved readers for you it is. Thank you, thank you very much for doing it so.
Cordially,

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY



May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands.              
Psalm 90:17
Hello family and friends of the Blog, I have been very absorbed and busy with the worries of life despite the fact that I am very aware of the Word of the Lord according to which we must not be worried for nothing; and for nothing is nothing. You do not allow the duties guide you do not to obey this command as it has happened to me. Therefore, I had forgotten that February 25, 2016 is the fifth anniversary of our Blog. Although a bit late, I began to think that we must not miss this date as significant to give glory to God. He is the one who has helped us and guided us during these five years so wonderful; perhaps our messages have travelled around the world and, at best, some readers guided by the Holy Spirit stopped a minute in their lives and think a little in the ETERNAL LIFE. We believe this because the Lord said that to wherever you want to carry the good seed, it will not return empty to you. So we want to thank You Lord for the wonderful success of this Blog during these five years. We recognize that is your work and you have placed it in our hands. Prospers and confirms O God this work! Establish it!
I cannot let this so special moment pass to thank all my family and friends, the great efforts and contributions worthily posts in this great work. This is an important legacy of your father who is now enjoying it in the Heaven. His wish was always, and we also now, extend the message of hope and love by the cyberspace through many generations. And he continues being a voice crying in the Internet with us. To God is the glory forever and ever, Amen.
God bless you!
Happy fifth anniversary!
With love,

OUR GOAL IS TO LOOK BEYOND WHAT IS SEEN



Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb 12: 2 
The 93 years of life which the Lord has given me are sweetness and love in the arms of the Lord. My soul delights in the holy presence of God and I think yours does too. I want to live with the Lord within my heart and I grab You Abba God; for You made me so loving. Now that we have the right, while I have life, I do not want to stop these beautiful feeling of my heart. That beautiful Heaven You cannot deny me; for You made me so demanding. Abba Father, your love for us nobody can buy. We are going with the Beloved and nobody can prevent it because it is a gift of yours and nobody else. I would like to express You Father nice things, but I do not know to speak. Fill my heart of sweetness and love. The language of Heaven I want to talk, what angels talk each other, cherubim, seraphim, and blessed people where we are going to be for all eternity. Silence dear brothers because what follows is transcendental: There is a Heaven, it is true, but there is also a Lake of fire for eternity; which do you choose? Please you choose to enter Heaven because it is what my heart wants to you. Let’s go with You Father and nobody can prevent it. The delight we feel is from Heaven, that is why it cannot stop. Abba Father delights with me, beautiful Father because this cannot be ended. The charm that I feel i do not know to express it to refer me to Heaven where we are going to be. Our brothers in the land that now we live in, please O God does not abandon them until we all together go to that place called Heaven for all eternity.
Sincerely,
                        José Joaquín Agudelo G.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE



"Love never fails" 1st Corinthians 13:8
Hello friends of the Blog, in this month of February in America we celebrate Valentine’s Day – the day of Love and Friendship. Looking at the greatness of these two words, I don’t want to miss this opportunity without sharing something about these themes. Much of this post is based on an article written by Corrie Ten Boom on this subject and some personal contributions.
One of the crucial principles of life is that each human being should feel loved and appreciated. We all have the need to be loved and precisely because of the lack of love many people live embittered; they have absence of love in their lives. Love is such a wonderful feeling and at the same time so powerful because it is something divine that can change lives, attitudes and personalities.
To Love and to be loved is one of the sweetest mysteries of life. Love is the best remedy for the diseases of the mankind; this was emphasized by Karl Meninger one of the contemporary figures in the field of medicine and psychiatry, in one of his speeches for doctors and nurses. The most important thing that you can offer to patients is "love". Because you start to recover from your physical and emotional illnesses only, when you learn to give and receive love. Love and be loved is an important need in the human being. From the earliest infancy to old age, we need to feel that are worth much to God and to our loved ones and that we form a group of people very appreciated. Love is the basic ingredient for the happiness of the people. Pity that on this earth and at this moment what is most lacking is love. That is why there are millions of people who do not know God and therefore do not know the genuine love, the love that He gives us for free. These people have never had Him and while refusing to seek God never will have it.
Let us remember this important advice: "Let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love."  ( 1st John 4: 7 - 8).
There is another very important part in the theme of love and it must be expressed with words and deeds because every person needs both to be able to have joy and confidence. Let us not forget that the Lord Jesus also needed to hear his disciple Peter these words: "Lord you know that I love you". The Lord JESUS expects that we express Him our love with works, i.e. with the style of life and also with words. Love and feel that we are loved is need of every human being, but it is necessary to love in order to be loved. Remember, the love enables us to walk without fear, run with confidence and live in victory. Love is the most powerful force to please God. Love is the magnet which unites believers. Love is more than a feeling, is a compromise. My advice is and always has been, give love wherever we move because with love we encourage the lonely and strengthen the weary.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
With love,
