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.

GOD PUNISHES

 

My son, do not despise the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by him; for the Lord disciplines whom he loves, and scourges everyone whom he accepts as a son. If you endure discipline, God treats you as children; Because what son is he whom the father does not discipline?

Hebrews 12:5-7


Hello family and friends. Today I want to remind you that God punishes us because he loves us. This sounds harsh, but He is a loving and merciful Father. What if he left us without correction! I tell you that it is much better for our Creator and Redeemer to do it this way even if it seems hard. This is because He knows that for us it is more horrible and dangerous for Him to accumulate our faults, rebellions, and sins to punish us when we are in His presence, since it is eternal punishment. On the other hand, if he punishes and corrects us in this life, which is short and

fleeting, he will be able to take us clean of sin to eternal life, since it is the most important.

I want to clarify the above since the Lord sometimes tests us or punishes us as we pass through this earthly homeland so that we do not lose the heavenly homeland. This is the definitive place for us and seeking it is the biggest business in this life; this was repeated tirelessly by my husband who is now enjoying the heavenly homeland. Hallelujah!


My advice is that we accept with great patience the tests or punishments that God sends us since He wants the best for us, which is the heavenly homeland (John 14:2-3). It is true that the Lord sometimes sends us difficult and painful tests to purify us from all evil. But let us not forget that nothing impure enters Heaven and that no matter how hard the trial may be, we must ask the Lord for faith and wisdom without denying or demanding anything from Him since He is sovereign.

Please take into account this wise advice that leads you to grow in faith and climb to the heights of holiness. Remember also that our FAITH is tested like gold in fire (1Peter 1:6-7) so that we may shine in the midst of the darkness of this world. Come to the light. JESUS ​​CHRIST is the LIGHT.

With love,
