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.

TIME

 


We should make the most of every minute that passes in our lives because they are precious moments that are never repeated. Everything we do during our lives should be for the glory of the Lord! Time is a gift from God, let us make the most of it!

The army of the blessed who are already in Heaven has given us a good example: They followed the Lord of glory as their only savior. Let us not be left behind, because it is easy, brother, to follow God's ways.


Let us not be silent when we have the opportunity to speak because these are precious moments that we will find in Heaven. What I want to tell you is the value of the present moment, that is, the great opportunity to guide souls to the heavenly mansion. As long as our lives last, we are kings and priests to preach the Gospel of the Lord, and no one can forbid us from fulfilling the commands of our beloved God.


Misguided brothers of the world, do not allow yourself to be dragged by the forces of evil because they will lead you to places of torment where we do not want to go. The Word of God calls it hell, and what will it be like? Let us not be foolish; let us go to Heaven, which is the heavenly Mansion, in the company of our God for all eternity.

There are many who are mistaken and follow false religions,


and each one believes he has the truth. The devil is very cunning and obscures everything to take souls there, to his terrible place. But we go with Jesus and we cannot let go of Him until the Lord takes us to the heavenly Mansion.

This is all I want to say to you today so that all of you, my dear ones, may make good use of your time and go with the Lord.

Sincerely,

José Joaquín Agudelo G.

HEALTHY ADVICE

 


Throughout my life, I've learned that mistakes are not our enemies. They teach us, shape us, and force us to look within ourselves, asking ourselves who we really are, where we come from, and where we're going. Sometimes we make mistakes along the way, making decisions that lead us to dark places, but even in those moments, there's something valuable: FAITH is activated, and it's an opportunity to learn, grow, and change.

We didn't come into this life already perfect, but rather learning from the PERFECT ONE, JESUS, and walking with Him. Along the way, it's normal to fall several times, but also, and more importantly, to always get up with the help of JESUS ​​and move forward with greater strength. Every mistake is a lesson in better understanding human beings and ourselves. The important thing isn't how many times we fail, but what we do with our failures: Do we let them defeat us or use them as stepping stones to move forward?

 


I've made mistakes in my life; some have cost me dearly, and others have taught me lessons I'll never forget. But there's one thing I know for sure: each mistake has made me stronger, more aware, and more human. Life isn't about avoiding pain or failure, but rather learning to face them with dignity, courage, and the certainty that, in the end, what really matters is deciding to move forward; of course, putting God first in everything.

Don't forget that if JESUS ​​CHRIST doesn't move forward, I'm not going anywhere. Without Him, I am nothing, I want nothing, and I can do nothing. I only want to walk in this world under the shadow of the Almighty. And you?

With love,

WHAT A BLESSING IT IS TO LIVE IN THE HOLY PRESENCE OF GOD

 What a blessing it is to live in the holy presence of God. Let us enjoy it because it is within our hearts' reach. Allow us, Father, to impact the world with your love. We long for our souls to be illuminated by the sun of goodness. While you have us on earth, we will speak of what you, Lord, give us. Let us fill our hearts with ambitions of love because they are for the Lord.

We are filled, Father God, because you want to take us there. Misguided brothers of the world, if only we knew what we lose by not following the Lord our God.

Father God, fill my heart with the delights of your love. We want to live in the presence of the Lord, and no power in heaven or on earth can forbid it. We are the pilgrims who joyfully follow you along the beautiful paths of the Lord.

All the animals are your creatures, Lord, but in a very special way for me are the little birds that sing to you every morning. Praise God!

Look, wayward brother, you can be saved. Seek the Lord of life; He will not despise you. You could come with me so that we may share the delights of the Lord, for there is nothing better than following the beautiful paths of our God.

Dear brothers and sisters of the world, we could do more to reach the souls we wish to entrust to the Lord. The tasks you have given us, Father God, are all beautiful and wonderful in the fields of the Lord.

I wish to conclude by giving a big hug to those who read this message and share it in society.

Sincerely,

GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN

 Hello family and friends. I'd like to tell you that life absorbs us so much that we don't even realize the years go by. So, I thought my life was over, that the days of new experiences and surprises were behind me. But when I saw my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I understood there was so much more to learn, so much more to feel, and so much more to live. They came into my life like a ray of sunshine, illuminating everything in their path.

It's impressive how grandchildren and great-grandchildren can change grandmothers and great-grandmothers in such a short time. The change is such that we fall in love with a small being who looks with eyes full of curiosity, and with every step they take, we feel like we are witnessing something very special. This is something we had never experienced before. My grandchildren and great-grandchildren have renewed my life, given me many perspectives, and taught me that love has the ability to heal any wound. Every time they play with me, they remind me how important it is to enjoy the little moments with them. Sometimes I tell them something about my childhood, and they listen attentively, even though they sometimes seem to miss the point. However, every word, every laugh they share fills me with profound peace, and through them, I see the world through the eyes of a child again, realizing how fortunate I am to be able to experience this stage of my life.

Even though my days become quieter and more peaceful, I feel more alive than ever thanks to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their hugs give me grace and the strength to keep going, and their happiness is my greatest motivation. I want them to grow up knowing that I will always support them and be here for them every step of the way. I will also give them all the love I have for them. Being by their side is a gift from God and a reminder of what truly matters in life, which is God and family, accompanied by love and time spent together. As they grow, so does my love for them; no matter what the future holds, we will always be united in love.

 We must always take great care of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, always, always. They teach us how to mend relationships, mend our hearts, mend family wounds, fight for what is worthwhile, and re-evaluate the value of life. They are a well of experience and wisdom, as long as we stay connected to the Source of Life, Jesus Christ.

God bless us all!

With much love,

María Fanny Agudelo

I NEVER TIRE OF ADVISING THE GOOD WAYS OF THE LORD

 


Let us not leave idle the concerns the Lord has given us. This is the filling of the Holy Spirit that we carry within our hearts. No human being has the magic wand to guide souls to God. This is God's work alone and a privilege for believers. This cannot be done without PRAYER. Prayer becomes the omnipotence of creatures and the weakness of God if God allows us to express ourselves in this way. A whole God surrenders to humble prayer. He who does not pray is lost. Human self-sufficiency counts for nothing in the Lord's eyes. Let us be humble in His holy presence.

During our lives, we sometimes have to endure blows like an anvil and praise God like the angels. Let us not lose heart, for the Lord has the reward, and we often feel it in this life. But there is no joy equal to knowing that the way we are going,


we are going well. The vicissitudes of life count for nothing. The rushes can be of greater or lesser intensity, but what cannot fail is prayer. Let us follow the good examples of the redeemed throughout the world, but above all that of the beloved person of Jesus Christ, because the reward is worth it: an eternity in the arms of our Heavenly Father, and we cannot despise Him.

Sometimes we are told that we don't have to do anything regarding our salvation because the Lord has already paid all our debt. This is true, but it cannot be fulfilled without our


acceptance because it is up to us to allow ourselves to be loved by Him, to follow His beautiful teachings and His divine laws. So, our participation is also required. Therefore, we need guidance from on high, and if you are going wrong, stop on the path of life, correct yourself, repent, ask God for forgiveness, and change direction because eternity is coming.

With these thoughts, I leave you until the next opportunity. We will meet in the arms of our Father. There is no doubt about it.

Sincerely,

José Joaquín Agudelo G.
