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!
