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.

IS GOD INTRANSIGENT?

Hello family and friends. I think that to glorify God we must know him more and more. So I want to share with you this writing that I found in my file, which I loved and I'm sure it will touch your hearts too.

Keep this in mind: There will never be a school with teachers so consistent that they allow three or four different results to the same arithmetic problem. There can only be one and every student who presents something different is wrong. Geometry, biology, chemistry and physics are sciences that also do not allow variations to calculations based on the same premises, even in the case of the broad criterion. In sports competitions, strict application of rules is insisted upon. The games are developed in accordance with them without favoritism of any kind. The minor violation when perceived by the referee cancels the result of the rally. The same is the case in music in which there are a certain number of notes in an octave and the conductor of the orchestra does not allow one of the violins to deviate even half a tone from the note it should be playing.


If men have to be exact in applying the laws and rules that govern activities, would it not be reasonable for God to do the same? However, men frequently accuse God, but especially those who carry the message of Jesus Christ to their fellow men, of being intransigent, that is, of being too strict in the proclamation and application of the divine message. Far from being intransigent, it is very reasonable that God has inflexible laws and that he demands the exact fulfillment of them. So it would be good to remember some of the divine laws that govern the present and future condition of humanity. If in the things of life we ​​need to check measurements and we strive to achieve extreme precision in the adjustment of machinery, since being careless we are prone to failure, how much more important is it to take care of eternal life. God says: He who sins will die and the wages of sin is death (Ezekiel 18: 4; Romans 6:23). So there is no alternative. It is

not about discussing who has sinned the most or who has sinned the least. Everyone who has sinned irretrievably will die. God also says: He who is not born again cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3: 3). Did you trust anything else to enter Heaven? Forget it. The new birth is the indispensable requirement. The Lord Jesus said: No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14: 6). Did you think there was another way to God? There isn't. Christ is the only one who can save you and He will do so as soon as you recognize that you need forgiveness and salvation. Come today to the one who can do everything, who loves us so much that he gave his life for all of us.

I take advantage of the Thanksgiving celebration at the end of the month of November so that we can present a grateful heart for the great work that Jesus did for us. Impossible to forget the Lord for his great love! So always be thankful because gratitude gives you the hidden manna. Love because love is the key to life. Believe because faith is the key to hope. Smile because smiling is the key to friendship. Always trust God because he is the key to eternal life.

!!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

With love,
