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.

NOT ONE STEP BACK

 


Not one step back in the beautiful ways of God.

But, oh God, you have to help us so that with smiles and songs we can rejoice with the Lord.

But not one step back to cross the paths of life because in the arms of the Lord they become sweet melodies.

We go with you Dad, precious owner of our souls, and you are so beautiful that we will not change you for anyone.

Do not abandon the lost souls of the world Father, see that they are the work of your hands and no one else's.


Look Father, souls are being lost, do not allow the devil to take them; that is why we appeal to You my King.

Those who are far from the Lord would do well to correct themselves because an eternity without the Lord is very hard: Heaven or hell, there is no intermediate place.


Dear brother and friend, if you only knew how easy it is to save yourself; Surrender to the Lord, He takes care of that business. The solution is called JESUS CHRIST. You have to be nothing more than a friend of the Lord. Eternity is eternity, where we go after death, we remain there never to return. Come to JESUS CHRIST right now!

Cordially,

GOLDEN RULE

 


Hello family and friends.  Today I want to remind you that three or four years ago I spoke to you about the golden rule.  Today I want to talk to you about the same topic since it is important and beautiful.  But I want to talk to you about the golden rule from a biblical perspective of how we should treat each other. 

In the Holy Bible in Matthew 7:12 it says: “Whatever you want men to do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.” 

Let's introduce the topic by talking a little about FAITH in


JESUS ​​CHRIST. This is very necessary to be able to practice the Golden Rule. We have to be people of great faith if we want to have beautiful achievements without regretting or looking back; Worry always looks around, but faith always looks up. Faith is action, never passive activity. The world says: 'See and then believe'; Faith says: 'Believe and then see.' The great modern plague is doubt. True faith is that which refuses to believe anything that is contrary to the Word of God. So don't look at the circumstances or conditions, but at the promises of God.


Always seeking UNITY in the midst of the home, in the family, and in the church, is a sign of God's presence and therefore of his blessings (Psalm 133). 

Now I want to remind you of the golden rule that I had told you years ago. I expressed this through important themes in interpersonal relationships. I started with punctuality since it is the soul of courtesy. Punctuality means order, respect, responsibility and positive attitude. Punctuality is gold and more than gold.  You can know how much money you have, but you can't know how much time you have left to live. Life teaches us to take advantage of time and time teaches us to take advantage of life.  Don't forget that time with loved ones cannot be bought with money.  Happy are


those who have them and know how to enjoy them, take advantage of them and value them, because it is the best project and gift from God. So forgive each other, tolerate each other, respect each other and love each other, stop fighting over trivial things and rather thank God for the family.   I tell you that gratitude is the beginning of abundance, so be grateful for being alive, for your health and for your family. This is who? This is first gratitude to God and each other. Let's practice the Golden Rule and enjoy our loved ones.

                                        With love,

                                                                Maria Fanny Agudelo
