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.

THE GREATEST DEAL OF YOUR LIFE



Being alive on this Earth is a gangazo (super offer/great deal) that Yahweh allows us. In every moment of our lives we feel the Holy Presence of Yahweh. Life’s worth living when you have God! Everything pertaining to God is an ecstasy of love. How is it that praising your Holy Name produces such great joy, Father? It’s a secret of Your bounty that never ceases to pour out Your superabundant mercies in hearts full of love.
All of my thoughts are love-pure; I give them entirely to Yahweh. You are beautiful, wonderful. I write it, say it, proclaim it, until You take me to Your Holy Presence. I won’t take a step back. I am so happy with the ideas that You give. Thank You Papa. We keep thinking on Your Holy Word, that You give us, that You use to show us the Way to Salvation. While we enjoy our lives, we also follow the Lord, for He loves us with infinite love. Out of nowhere Your creature begins to soar on the wing of the wind, and smile and rejoice on the arms of the Lord. We want nothing more. The thoughts You give to us, we can do no less than send them to fly in advantage of the souls that with us go. Thanks, Dad.
So I hope y’all understand that the best gangazo (greatest deal) of your life is to accept and follow the Lord Jesus.
For my friends who deign to read this message, I wish you great happiness for the year that is about to begin.
Cordially,
Jose Joaquin Agudelo

NEW YEAR’S 2018



Hello family and friends. Remember that every end of year we do a balance, whether economic, social, family-related, or in this case I am going to talk about a "corporal" check-up.
"I went to the Lord’s Clinic to have my routine checkup and it was confirmed that I was ill. When Jesus took my blood pleasure, He saw I was low in tenderness. When He checked the temperature, the thermometer registered 40 degrees of anxiety. He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several ‘love by-passes’ since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart. I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when I tripped and fell because of my envy.
He also found I was short sighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters. When I complained about deafness, the diagnostic was that I had stopped listening to Jesus’ voice speaking to me on a daily basis.
He therefore gave me the following instructions thanks to abundant mercies. So my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies he prescribed through his words of truth.
Every morning take a full glass of gratitude. When getting to work, take one spoon of peace. Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humility. When getting home, take one dose of love. When getting to bed, take two caplets of clear conscience."

What a surprising diagnosis! But let's not be depressed or discouraged with this diagnosis. The best thing to do is to follow the prescription word-for-word, verbatim, and we will see excellent results. Neither be discouraged with what we are living in this era or whatever tribulation that we might be going through. God knows perfectly how we. It's best to follow His Will, purposes, and counsel, so that we have a heart full of joy and peace. Let's not forget that Judas had the best pastor, the best leader, the best master, the wisest one, the best friend, and nonetheless failed. We must acknowledge that the problem is not leadership. It doesn't matter what denomination you belong to; if your attitude doesn't change, if your character isn't transformed, you will always be the same person. What you must do is believe in Christ Jesus, ask Him for forgiveness for all your sins, and develop a very tight relationship with Him. Because religion means relationship with your Creator. Remember, we are all tourists on this planet Earth, God is our flight agent, who already ordered our ways, reservations, and destiny. Therefore, trust in Him and enjoy life's ride, having certainty that the Lord is preparing a place to receive us, who remain faithful, in His celestial mansion. Happy 2018 y'all!
With love,

HEAVEN, HELL, AND ETERNITY



My readers tell me that I don’t worry about anything other than Heaven, Hell, and eternity. But if you know about something more important than these, let me know.
Thank You Heavenly Father because You give us profound thoughts; It’s great to talk with You Father. What a precious friend is the Lord! And we consider him as just being in our minds, and keep him at a distance that way. How wonderful it is that You have a Heaven prepared for us to come! Wondrous creatures of the Lord, want you more than this? You, O Lord made us this way, wanting till we can no more. Holy Spirit, illuminate our minds in order to be able to express the wonders of the Lord. We feel great marching to the
mansions of God. How trashy life would be without the Lord! Take possession of Your creatures that are restless to worship You. Dear brothers and sisters, you can’t get yourself condemned on our watch, for we’re here to help you stop. Life’s greatest errors can be fixed, but once you reach death, nothing more can be done. Let’s pay close attention to this so that we go to Heaven to be in the divine company of the Lord.
Father God, Your are wonderful, and each day more we long for You with greater intensity. Give me the grace to guide souls to Your arms, O blessed Father God.
With these thoughts, I conclude, but leaving the gates open so that you return when the Holy Spirit makes you return. You will always be dearly welcomed, my readers.
Cordially,
      Jose Joaquin Agudelo
