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 MATERIAL BODY AND THE SPIRITUAL BODY

 To the material body we give material food and to the spiritual body we give spiritual food. Both are the work of the hand of God. In the material body I do not stop because we all know what we need to survive, but in the spiritual body there is much to reflect on. Depending on how we handle the spiritual body, we prepare for eternal life; and while our life lasts on this earth, we can beautify the spiritual body as much as we want. You take care of yours and I take care of mine and it only beautifies itself with a bath of God. The radiance of the Holy Spirit penetrates the hearts of the souls that follow the Lord. Let us surrender before His divine presence and let Him do His work in us until the glorious moment arrives when He tells us, 'Come blessed of my Father to enjoy the happiness that I have prepared for you from all eternity.'

As long as our material body has life, we can do beautiful things to the point of not being able to. We have happiness at the distance of a thought. We can participate in the glory of God by simply surrendering ourselves before his most holy presence. We can take over Heaven and the most beautiful things on earth and we can live a fullness of joy without limits. What happiness! Lord, you are my divine company. Your presence is adored. We feel with one foot on the ground and the other foot in Heaven. If your conscience is clean like mine, it tells us where we are going.

If you want to make this prayer that I like to make, listen to it: “Lord, I have nothing to offer you, the only thing would be my poor sinful heart, but bathed in the redeeming blood of the Lord. I dare to prostrate myself before your most holy presence without any fear. Thank you Father God for your blessed redemption, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Cordially,

José Joaquín Agudelo G.

WRITER'S NOTE: How I would like us to form armies of the redeemed for the Lord throughout the length and breadth of the world. Armies that do not advance with material weapons, but spiritual ones for the glory of God!

 

LET US PREPARE TO BE GOOD PARENTS

 Hello family and friends, being a good parent is not easy and no training is enough to face the challenges that arise during the growth of children. However, teaching our children and grandchildren about the habitat in which we live is very important, even if it seems elementary.

For example, we should teach them that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. If you point your right hand to the east, the face will look north and the back to the south. The direction of the water in a river is towards the sea. Like the sun, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west. When the moon does not rise, it is replaced by a star that indicates the north and its latitude. That the more to the horizon you see the polar star, the closer it is to the equator. If you see a bird in the middle of the sea, it is because there is land where it is going. We should teach them much more about this first and beautiful creation made by the hands of God, before giving them a cell phone because it loses its signal and communication is lost. But the wisdom that the Lord gives through all parents and grandparents is never lost. This is why we must motivate children to receive JESUS ​​CHRIST in their hearts at an early age and focus them on the second creation so that when this first creation is finished, they understand that they will be transferred to the second creation only if they are believers in JESUS ​​CHRIST.

Let us remember that setting a good example for our children is the best and only form of teaching par excellence. So stop looking at your cell phone so much and hug your children and spend quality time with them because it is the best gift for them.

With love,

Mary Fanny Agudelo
