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.

SOME REFLECTIONS WITH REGARD TO ETERNAL LIFE


The scorn that we receive during our lives fill us with a tremendous peace if we receive them with humility. Dear brother, you who read these messages, I want us to go
together in the beautiful ways of God. Isn’t it great that while we live we can go wherever we want, but even better, we can chose to go to the abodes of God? Look friend if you want to save yourself, follow the Lord and stop sinning. Heaven, we cannot lose it! Save your soul and help others too. Salvation is a beautiful gift from the Lord and we cannot despise it. Soon we will be inhabitants of Heaven in the sweet abodes of God. The Heavens sing his glory as do we also.
I am a restless little sheep in your pack. Receive me in your divine arms, Father, because this is where I want to be; but even more, my great desire is to bring souls to your lap. You who read this message, let yourself be advised so that we can go together to the holy presence of the Lord. Doesn’t it seem so much bliss to live always in the holy presence of God and thus be able to wait for the end of life with great peace and tranquility for now and for centuries?!
Cordially,

CREATED TO SERVE


Again, hello family and friends of this Blog!
Have you ever wondered, what did you come to this planet earth for? You must understand that you are a human being and that you came to perfect yourself and to fulfill a mission that God gave you that is to love. Did you know that the word poem means work or art? You are a work of art from the hands of God (Psalm 139: 13-16). Here David gives thanks to God for having made him so wonderfully complex and not in production line or industrial quantities. So God not only formed you, but He planned every day of your life. You are a combination of many factors in order that you will inhabit this planet serving God and your fellowmen. So God created you for a specific task with specific skills.
He gives us assignments and equips us with what we need to be able to fulfill it. That is, so that we can fulfill the salvation of humanity. We can not choose our gifts, God is who determines them and loves diversity or variety. Have you thought about what your gifts or abilities are? We must discover and develop them and launch them in the service of God and our brothers. Remember that we are unique. You are the only one who can use them because nobody has the unique form that God gave you. He made us and threw the mold. I think this world would be very boring if we were all the same. Did you know what love is? Love is surrender, truth, respect, generosity, forgiveness, tolerance, faith, admiration. Love is also tenderness, simplicity, strength, freedom, understanding, details, harmony, trust, patience, and time. Step by step we must perfect and cultivate all these tips.
Therefore, whatever the problem is, your love is the answer. Whatever the pain, your love is the answer. Whatever your crisis, your love is the answer. If you want God uses you, you should share your experiences, but acknowledge your mistakes and fears because people are more encouraged when you share the way God helped you in your weaknesses. We should not hide our problems because by communicating them and sharing them, they are dwindling for there will always be someone who intercedes for us. So, do not hide your pain, use it to help others. Do not forget that God does not work for you, he works with you. Be humble and grateful and let him lead your life.
We see the greatest example of service in Jesus in all his lifestyle on Earth. He himself said that he "came not to be served, but to serve others, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45). Do you believe Jesus? Then let's follow his tracks!
With love,
