Meaning

Years ago, when we were kids, my mom asked my sister to take a message to a neighbor. But my sister inadvertently changed one word and that changed the meaning of the message. The neighbor did not like what she understood and my mom had to go to explain the message to avoid a problem. The meaning of a message may vary simply by changing a word and this can happen by mistake, but can also be on purpose. Similarly happens with the message of God in the Bible. There are people who change, remove or add words, by mistake or on purpose, making the meaning of the message to change. Unfortunately, that causes some people to deviate from the path of God and others to follow false doctrines. Avoid these problems by directly reading the word of God in the Bible, so you can tell if what is preached to you is God's message or men's message. Read the Bible, asking God to speak to you and your heavenly Father will give His Message to you.

What do you use to communicate?

What do you use to communicate? The changes that have occurred in communications technology, are really impressive. Today, two or more points on planet earth can establish interactive communications within seconds, regardless of the distance between them. That's interesting and fascinating. However, what matters in communications is not quantity, speed or multiplicity. All that helps communications, but communication is a human act involving union, communion, relationship, link and connection. What is important in communications is not the technology, because human communication doesn't depends on form, but on the content and substance. Communication is not action but intention, because in real communications we don't use our senses but our soul. Do not neglect your communications with your loved ones, because communications are necessary for the physical, emotional and spiritual health of human beings and remember that your most important communication is with your Father who is in heaven. It is not important the way you do it, but your intention. Jesus taught us that to talk to our Father we should be alone, behind closed doors and talk to Him in private. When you talk to God, let your soul join Him.

Total Cleaning

Technology has developed a wide range of cleaning and hygiene products, which can be purchased and used for all cleaning needs, of our body, our home and all our belongings. There are all kinds of products, for every need and for every taste. But nobody in the world can create cleaning products that achieve the cleaning of the soul. Jesus taught us that what comes from within is what defiles us. Our non physical "inner self" gets dirty and contaminated, by what is created in our minds and gets out of us, as words and actions, that we defiles our soul with hatred, anger, wrath, sadness, anguish, stress, laziness, sloth, vanity, arrogance, pride, gluttony, lust, greed, envy, avarice, boasting and vainglory. However, there is a solution. Jesus also taught us that we are cleansed and purified by the message that He gave us. Therefore, if you want to cleanse your soul, read and put into practice what Jesus taught us and you will be really clean, because the only cleaning that matters to your heavenly Father is the clening of your inner self.

A Message To All Leaders

A message to all the world leaders, in the political, military, business, academic and religious spheres, and to all who want to be the first and the most important: Take the last place and be at the service of all the others. If that message seems absurd, because it breaks all paradigms on the subject, read what Jesus taught us about leadership: After they arrived at Capernaum and settled in a house, Jesus asked his disciples, “What were you discussing out on the road?”  But they didn’t answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.” Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me.” Mark 9:33-37 NLT

Where There Is Faith... There Is No Fear

Where there is faith, there is no fear. When the circumstances around you are so overwhelming that you are afraid, remember that your faith has the power to change the circumstances, according to the will of God. So, do not give in to fear, but rather, exercise your faith with all your strength and God will change the circumstances, and if He doesn't, is because it isn't the best for you, but at that time you may not understand it. In that case, continue to exercise your faith and God will show you what He is doing in the perfection of His Purpose. There is much to learn from the passage of Jesus in the storm: As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”  So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!” Mark 4:35-41 NLT

You Will Only See The Light If You Try Hard

You will only see the light if you try hard. Many people can not understand what the Bible says, because only God can give the ability to truly understand His Word. Our heavenly Father wants everyone understand His Message and that is why Jesus came to teach us, but His Teachings can only be understood, by those who with a good attitude study it with attention and interest. In the following passage, Jesus tells us that God's Word is a light that discovers all the secrets, but the ability to understand it increases, according to the interest and attention of those who study it: Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.  For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.  Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given —and you will receive even more.  To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.” Mark 4:21-25 NLT

Walk With The "Bad"

Meet with "sinners", but to help them, not to sin. Christians have been wrongly taught, to avoid the company of those who are considered sinful. However, we should follow the example of Jesus, who met frequently with sinners and disreputable people, considered "scum" by those who think they are righteous and good. But Jesus did it, not to sin with them, but to heal and save them. We read that, in this passage: Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that were coming to him. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him. Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum? ” When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Mark 2:13-17 NLT

How Are You Treating God?

Did you know that what you do to others, you're doing it to God? When you treat someone good or bad, in the same way you are treating God. Perhaps you know the principle of " Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you ", but now, you need to learn the principle, "what you do to others, you are doing it to God" and Jesus explains that, in this passage: “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.  All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.  For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.  I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?  Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?  When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.  For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink.  I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” Matthew 25:31-46 NLT

Accountable

God created you with personal skills and abilities, and left you for a while in this world, for you to work for Him, growing His Kingdom here on earth. When He returns and you are back in His presence, you will be asked to report your work to Him and your heavenly Father will evaluate your faithfulness to use what He gave you. Your reward in the Kingdom of Heaven will be determined by that assessment. Jesus explained it in this well known parable: “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone.  He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip. “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more.  The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more.  But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money. “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money.  The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together! ’ “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’ “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate.  I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate,  why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’ “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver.  To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.  Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Matthew 25:14-30 NLT

God's Blessing

The world speaks of being lucky in life to achieve good health, wealth, power, fame and love. Many people have been "lucky" in life and have achieved success in some of these areas, but still are not happy and feel a great emptiness. The problem is the paradigm of success with which we have been formed and the concept of being lucky in life to achieve that success. That is why, despite achieving certain goals, we feel that something is missing and we do not feel that it fills that void inside . The real success is to fulfill God's purpose in your life and for that, luck is not required, but the blessing of God. Luck is a matter of chance, but the blessing of God is accomplished when we decide to obey our heavenly Father. God created you for a specific purpose. His plan for you is much bigger than what you have wished or imagined to achieve and the blessing of God is complete and perfect, enough to achieve that purpose. Do not seek to be lucky investing time and resources in achieving your plans. Find the Blessing of your heavenly Father, working on the achievement of His Perfect Plan for you.

The Wise And The Foolish

The wise and the foolish are different, in that the wise are always ready and alert to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, while fools are not prepared, even though they know neither the day nor the hour in which they will be called. This is how Jesus explains it in this parable: “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.  Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.  The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps,  but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil.  When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!’ “All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps.  Then the five foolish ones asked the others, ‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’ “But the others replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked.  Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’ “But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t know you!’ “So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return. Matthew 25:1-13 NLT

Share

There are people who live with excessive or insatiable desire for wealth or gain than is needed and are concerned excessively or exclusively in their own well-being, concentrating on their own advantage or pleasure, without regard for others. This is what is known as avarice, greed and selfishness. But there are also people with a personal inclination or propensity towards generosity, who act with magnanimity and nobility, sharing what they have and considering the interests of others. It is easy to determine which of these two types of people, please our heavenly Father. Jesus said: Love your neighbor as yourself. He also said: It is more blessed to give than to receive. And speaking of treasure He said: Store your treasures in heaven. Jesus taught us by example to be generous, because because nothing piled in this world, we're going to take with us. We are only taking to heaven the spiritual treasures we make here on earth. Increase your heavenly assets and bank accounts, sharing your blessings with your neighbor.

Conquest

In history we see the human fascination with the conquests. We read about conquests of power, nations and continents, conquests of wealth, social status and fame, conquests in science and technology and conquests of hearts. It seems that humans were born to conquer and conquests can be physical, emotional or spiritual. The principle of the conquest is that to conquer, one needs to be conquered. Then, the conquered, will conquer for the conqueror. If that is the principle of the conquest, then, we must allow ourselves to be conquered by love, peace, joy and goodness, and that is only possible if we allow the most important conquest of our life, when we allow Jesus Christ to Conquer our heart and take full control of our physical, emotional and spiritual life. When you allow Jesus Christ to conquest you, then you become the conqueror your heavenly Father wants you to be, to conquer people for eternal life in the kingdom of light in heaven. It is not too late, let Jesus conquer you today.

Spiritual Malnutrition

On a visit we made to a very poor community, we worried about the children that for lack of food, had an advanced state of malnutrition. It was painful to see them, because we read the reports about the negative impact of malnutrition on physical and intellectual development. We did what we could to help this community and meditate, if for lack of physical food people have negative physical consequences, then for lack of spiritual food, people must have negative spiritual consequences. This is why Jesus said: People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Feed your spirit daily with the word of God in the Bible, and do not suffer from spiritual malnutrition, resulting in sadness, hostility, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, divisions, envy, hatred, jealousy, impatience, rudeness, meanness, unfaithfulness, arrogance, pride, arrogance, vanity and lack of self-control to the passions. Your quality of life now and eternal, depends on your spiritual nourishment.

Talk To Your Father

As children and teenagers, we learned to read the face of our parents and understand what they meant, with just the look of their eyes or gesture of their faces, without hearing a word. Our daily contact with our parents, sharing with them many times in many different circumstances, both good and bad, enabled us to understand them, even without words. Similarly, those who share time with God daily, through very different circumstances, both good and bad, learn to understand what God means, without listening to words. Only in daily intimacy with your heavenly Father, you will get to understand "His Messages" without words, by look of His eyes and gestures of His face, that you will see in the circumstances that He allows in your life. That's why Jesus invited us to talk to our heavenly Father, often and in private. Start today and never stop to do it.

Leave It To The World

Let the world keep what is material and belongs to the world, but keep safe for God, what is spiritual and belongs to Him. This is how Jesus explained it: Then the Pharisees met together to plot how to trap Jesus into saying something for which he could be arrested. They sent some of their disciples, along with the supporters of Herod, to meet with him. “Teacher,” they said, “we know how honest you are. You teach the way of God truthfully. You are impartial and don’t play favorites. Now tell us what you think about this: Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” But Jesus knew their evil motives. “You hypocrites!” he said. “Why are you trying to trap me?  Here, show me the coin used for the tax.” When they handed him a Roman coin,  he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply amazed them, and they went away. Matthew 22:15-22 NLT

DANGER!

When facing a dangerous situation that threatens our physical integrity, our primal instincts trigger a series of defense mechanisms, which involve, running, screaming, seek shelter and defending ourselves. However, when facing a dangerous situation that threatens our emotional integrity, there are no primal instincts that trigger defense mechanisms. The reason is that primal instincts are part of our animal nature and protect our animal part, that is our body. The emotional area is part of our human nature and it is our intelligence that should trigger defense mechanisms to protect ourselves emotionally. This process is far more complicated than the one based on instincts and requires personal skills and development. But if we accept that our intelligence is the divine breath that our Creator gave us, we can understand that in our heavenly Father we will find the skills and spiritual development, that will provide us with emotional balance and defense. Jesus said: Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

True Cleaning

When I lived with my parents we used to give a deep clean our house, one Saturday a month. Each of us had a specific responsibility in those cleaning days and it always surprised us the amount of dirt we put out and we wondered, what would happen if we cleaned less often. If this happens in our external physical house, how will it be in our spiritual inner house? How long has it been since you do not clean your heart? Jesus tells us it is more important to clean our inside than our outside, because what good is that the outside is clean, but inside is full of filth and corruption? Remember that you are not a body that has a soul, but a soul you have a body. Your true self is within you and is spiritual. Let Jesus come into your heart and that His presence within you, pull out everything that is unclean and defiles you internally, so you're really clean and free.

Love Is Paid With Love

Love is paid with love. Luis was looking for an engagement ring for his fiancée and wanted it to be really special and beautiful. Finally, he chose one that met his expectations and that he knew she was going to like it, but to get it, he had to walk a lot, enter many jewelers and pay a high price. When we love, we do not mind the effort we make, or the cost we pay for the person we love. Some people have given their lives for the ones they love and the ultimate demonstration of love is that of our heavenly Father, for God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Love is shown with actions, not words and God showed how much love He has for us, paying the highest price ever paid, with the death of Christ on the cross. Jesus demonstrated with actions his command: You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Will you demonstrate that kind of love with actions or words?

Without Label

Charles was known as one of the bad guys from the city and his fame gave him more enemies than friends. Years later, Carlos regretted his actions, decided to change his life and he regenerated completely. However, most people did not believe in that change, because they kept seeing the bad boy "label" and could not see him any other way. They defined him by a label and could not accept the change. In the world it is very common to label people, but the only label that your Father in heaven sees in you, is "son or daughter". To God, you are His son or daughter and not the definition of a label. The problem is not only that other people will see you labeled, but many times we label ourselves and accept our own label. If your heavenly Father does not label you, do not do it youself, or allow others to do so. Your personal value is defined as the daughter or son of God and no human definition or label, may redefine or change your value. Your identity and value is in your personal relationship with Father in heaven.

Eternal Commitment

Are there eternal commitments? One of the most important decisions of my life was, when in front of many witnesses, I accepted voluntary and sincerely, my spouse, to be my partner for the rest of my life. I knew this was a definitive binding, independent of the circumstances and problems that may arise along the way, until death do us part and I accepted the risk of 50% of divorcing couples that is shown in statistics. If we can make commitments to people, knowing that they are not perfect and accept their weaknesses and strengths, much more should we be willing to make a sincere and voluntary commitment to God, our Father in heaven, knowing that He is Perfect and that his company is eternal. God will never leave us, no matter the circumstances and the difficult times that we may be going through. If you have not already done so, accept God in your life today. His love for you is so great that you will never be able to understand it or measure it, and His Commitment to you is eternal, beyond physical death.

Is Not What You Say, But What You Do.

What counts is not what you say, but what you do. No matter what you say or preach about the Kingdom of God. All that matters is that you live your life in obedience to God. That is what Jesus teaches us in this passage: “But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’  The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway.  Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. “Which of the two obeyed his father?” They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do.  For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins. Matthew 21:28-32 NLT

Pray Even If You Have To Shout

Pray even if you have to shout. Do not let people or circumstances prevent you from praying. Ask God what you long for in your heart, even if you are told to shut up. Note the example of these two blind men: As Jesus and the disciples left the town of Jericho, a large crowd followed behind. Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!” Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him. Matthew 20:29-34 NLT

911

Samuel and his family were on vacation and decided to go exploring some mountains. The walk was very happy and fun, until they were lost for not having maps or GPS and their cell phones had no signal. A great day of vacation, became moments of terrible anguish and fear. However, at one point they received a small signal on their cellphones, managed to call 911 and were rescued. A happy ending, after much anguish, thanks to a phone call. Sometimes our happy and fun life, can also go through times of terrible anguish and fear, because we lose our way and do not know how to find the way back to normal. We can be lost in a mountain of debt, sickness or sorrow, among others. The good news is that our communication with the 911 in heaven, never loses the signal and is always available. Our Heavenly Father loves us and cares for our problems, but He expects us to ask for help, to rescue us. Call God now and get rid of your anguish.

Balanced Heart

Debora could not understand why it was so difficult for her to interact with others, including sentimental relatioships. For years she thought that people were difficult to treat and they were petty and selfish. Debora justified herself by saying that it was better to walk alone than in bad company. One day, tired of loneliness, she decided to seek the company of God and that beautiful experience helped her understand that other people were not the problem,  but it lied within herself. Debora had a heart that had been wounded by rejection and abandonment since she was very small. Those wounds had not healed and that prevented her from having good relationships with others. She tried to find relief for her pain in other people and that was not possible. Only when she sought God, she realized she needed to forgive those who had hurt her and make God the center of her life. From that moment she began to heal and was able to reconnect with her family, having friends and she even got married and was very happy. Only God can heal and balance to your heart and your life.

Search And Rescue

I recently saw a movie based on a true life event, of a rescue team that had been commissioned to find and save a group of people, who were trapped and in danger of death. The mission was very dangerous and the lives of the rescue team faced a very high risk. What caught my attention and touched my heart, was the willingness of the people who made the rescue group, to take on the challenge of risking their own lives to save people who they didn't even know. That is really worthy of admiration. Jesus also instructed all of us who follow him, the mission to find and rescue, all the people who are trapped in the evil ways of the world and in danger of spiritual death. That mission has spiritual risks and in the case of some countries, may also include physical risks of imprisonment, torture and even death. The question I have is, if our willingness to take the challenge of this mission, will be so determined and positive, as that rescue team. We must decide without delay, because the eternal life of many, depend on that mission.

Attitude Of A Champion

If you want success, you need to have the attitude of champions. A young woman who had won national swimming competition, was asked what factor was key to her success. She replied that perseverance, because there were very difficult times in her training, when she was about to give up, but decided to persevere and thus finally managed to win that important competition. In the world we achieve many victories if we persist and that makes us world champions. But we should not forget that you must also be champions in the Kingdom of Heaven and for that you also need a lot of perseverance. God made you a champion, because He created you in His own image and likeness. However, bad educatikn during your growth and development, could destroy your perseverance, which is the attitude of champions. You were created with a special gift to be a champion in God's Plan and it is in this area that attracts you, where you have dreams, but to succeed, you must persevere over every obstacle and difficulty that invites you to give up. Change your attitude and ask God to give you perseverance.

Is There Anything Left To Do?

It can be very depressing to conclude that there is nothing left to do. Because if there is nothing left to do, what are we good for? What is the purpose of continuing? However, we must carefully evaluate the situation around us and determine if everything is really done. When we ask what is to be done? We should look carefully, with eyes that want to see the truth and we will find that there is always more to do in life. There is always someone who needs help, who needs to be lifted up, rescued or healed. There is always a neighbor, friend or family member who faces obstacles and adversity. You can help to remove the stones of the road and turn on the light in the darkness. If you listen to your heart, you will feel that there is something that drives you to continue, because God, your heavenly Father, will always be with you to love you and fill you with His Spirit, so that you reflect His Light to those in darkness and give others from what He gives you, even though you do not receive anything from the world. Go for it. Go ahead. There is so much to do.
