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.

WE MUST TALK ABOUT GOD


You have to talk about God, but wanting to talk about God;

I have to praise Father God and I find no other way but the Lord;

In a sincere form of love we want to be complete for the glory of God;

All that awaits us, my Father, with delight and innocence, cannot be anything other than the mansion of love.

 

The souls that we consecrate ourselves to You Lord, feel happy to go with the Beloved;

Dear brother wherever you are, you are a beauty if we go with the Lord;

Within your blessed heart we wish to live, do not deny us that joy our beloved savior;

No one will be able to imagine the delights of Heaven, because only the Lord could have given such a great happiness.

 

These thoughts are glorious if we go with the Beloved, because in a blink of an eye we find ourselves in the heavenly homeland where everything is good;

We thank you Lord for that Heaven that you have prepared for us that nothing and no one can take away from us; That was your beautiful and pretty will. We prostrate before your divine presence in thanksgiving and love, we do not know how to thank your immense goodness;

I don't know how to say more, if I could I'd say pretty, but since I don't know, I stay quiet. Take me Father because in You there is no deception; see that we are a herd of the sheep of your flock.

I don't want to tire you anymore, in Heaven we meet because we are all little sheep of your flock.

 

Thank you Heavenly Father because you do not forget your creatures who love you.

Until next time!

Cordially,

Jose Joaquin Agudelo G.

MIRACLES OUT LOUD


How good it is to wish something nice and silently to those we love and who love us, only to later see that God grants it to them out loud! How good it is to intercede privately for our family and friends and then see the Lord answer them out loud!

You knew that strong people smile with a broken heart, cry behind closed doors and fight battles that no one knows about, only God. Lord I do not come to ask you for anything but to thank you so much that you have given me without me deserving it.

I tell you that there are many miracles out loud. For now I am going to give you the testimony of some and I am sure that others are on the way. The greatest miracle in this time has always been the health and healing of COVID for my son Germán, my daughter Consuelo and others from my wonderful family. Of course, we not only had to cry out to the Almighty in silence, but also in a chain of prayer and out loud as blind Bartimaeus did when he said: Jesus have mercy on me! Another miracle was the wedding of my grandson Paul; we pray to the Lord in silence and He has answered us out loud giving him the hidden manna that you Lord had for him. Follow my grandson Wesley, who has always been blessed by the Lord in all situations, call it health, national medical exam for university, family trips, etc.; these are also miracles spoken out loud by family prayers. I continue with mine, another testimony: My Primary Doctor is called Lucero Chueca from Peru. One day they called my daughter Gloria asking her about the work and care of the Doctor towards me; they asked Gloria if the doctor was doing it right. Gloria responded with a nice word and a good rating. But then we worry because we think something might be wrong. So we fearfully went to the next appointment with the doctor and told her everything that had happened. Her response was: Thank you for your support and she proceeded to show us on her cell phone her beautiful award as the best doctor in Palm Beach Garden, FL. I said: Wow! Answered prayers, Doctor! She came and hugged me and said: Thank you, keep praying for me. This is so that you realize that when we pray to the Lord behind closed doors, He answers us out loud.

Oh God! Your name is my honor, because it assures me of glory. Your name is my passport, as it assures me access. Your name is my plea, for it assures me of the answer. I tell you that the most useful asset of a person is not a brain full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, with ears wide open to listen and hands ready to help. Watch your mind. The more you complain the more you weaken. The more you appreciate, the stronger you become. Good education is the vaccines against ignorance, therefore, let us stay with those with a clean heart, simple clothes and a valuable soul. Also with the one who wakes up day after day with a smile on his face despite not having anything. Let's stay with the people who give away the most valuable: love, time and loyalty.

Remember that every day our time is worth more, because we have less time each time. Let's take advantage of it because we don't know how much time we have left. Worrying doesn't help anything, but trusting God changes everything. Love heals wounds and turns them into pearls. Don't let your ego, anger or resentment prevent your wounds from healing. Do not allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not. Keep fighting, keep praying, keep trusting, and keep believing in Jesus Christ who can do anything.

With love,

Mary Fanny Agudelo
