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 POLICE OF THE WORLD


Our Father God puts the world in order with His great power and Wisdom, but at the same time he leaves men something they must do regarding the government of the world, and this is the reason why some of the nations or also some group of nations can come to have dominion over the rest of nations and over all (See in the Bible Romans 13:1-5). I would say, with the forgiveness of those who do not agree, according to my way of understanding this, that the United States of America has, in fact and until now, had this task. Because I think that

in this nation fifty percent are still people of prayer. Is it because of this that they have achieved that honor, and also, as I said, several more nations have joined this purpose, thus appearing the United Nations, the UN, after the Second World War? So far I believe that the United Nations forms a respectable body (at least until the end of the twentieth century; it is unfortunate that the same cannot be said for later times). All this has come from above and we can't doubt it. How about it not being like that because where would the small nations of the earth be?


That power comes from You Lord, and it is up to us to respect it and take care of it. You, O God, lead the world with immense love. You are the Creator and you hold the world in your Hands (Isaiah 40:12-17). You look at each of your children as sheep of your flock, not allowing any of them to be lost, because you go in search of each of them; that is why we feel so happy with your friendship, my Lord. The policeman

of the world has a lot of power and if You Lord didn't give it to him, we would see him fall. Even understanding this with the thoughts you are directed by Your Lord. We give this country to you Lord in your Hands and also to the United Nations we give them to You so that your plans and purposes continue to be fulfilled on this Earth.

Sincerely,

EMOTIONAL GARBAGE

Hello family and friends of the blog. Today I want to talk to you about a very important topic which is 'our emotions' that encompasses everyone, believers and non-believers.


It is a paradox that human beings discard organic waste and at the same time preserve 'emotional waste'. As soon as we can, we are willing to take out the organic garbage, but we live for many years with emotional toxic garbage. Keep the already fetid organic garbage at home for a day to realize your foolishness. It is absurd and nefarious to

cultivate hatred, guilt, anger, rancor or fear in the soul, which are emotional poisons that make the soul and body sick. These poisons will be erased with a generous and sincere forgiveness. Remember that what we need is to be in communion with God, resting in his power, choosing to forget yesterday, and looking with eyes of love to accept that many times our offenders were unaware of their offense. It is necessary to preserve peace with God and not accumulate emotional

garbage harmful to the mind, soul and body. Life teaches us to take advantage of time and time teaches us to value life, also that prayer leads to sacrifice and effort to triumph. We were not made just to seek happiness; we were made to seek God. When we look for God, we realize that we

achieve absolute happiness. Do not forget that 'being happy' is not having a perfect life, but recognizing that life is worth living despite all difficulties, taking care of our thoughts. People could learn a lot from the mistakes if we weren't so busy denying them. God is not the author or creator of evil, but it exists due to the absence of God in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Maria Fanny Agudelo
