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.

MESSAGE OF LOVE


I

The stirrings of the heart

are powerful weapons

in the holy presence

of the Blessed Lord.


II

Messages of love

are meant for all humanity;

let no one remain in silence,

as we journey toward the hereafter.


III

That place is called Heaven,

where we all shall dwell,

in the arms of the Lord,

throughout all eternity.


IV

What a precious hope!

We must never cast it aside,

for it is a beautiful gift

bestowed upon us by the Lord.


V

We long to spend each moment of this life

in the Lord’s companionship,

forever and ever.


VI

Whoever calls upon

the name of the Lord

shall be saved.


VII

To believe in the Lord Jesus Christ

is certain salvation;

and when we depart this world,

the great comfort we find

is His sweet, abiding love.


VIII

Let us live in the present,

for the future belongs to the Lord,

since He is our Sovereign Master

throughout all eternity.


IX

We continually speak of eternity, eternity,

and all we truly know

is that soon we shall dwell there,

in the place we are destined for;

for if we journey with the Lord, He will never fail.


X

Our true place is Heaven,

a truth we cannot doubt,

and we rejoice so greatly in this hope

as we journey to the hereafter.
