We are like a flower!
What are you talking about?
I am not like a flower!
Yes you are! And I will tell you why:
Like a flower we shined in our youthful years!
Fresh and colorful!
As time passes by, we get old, wither and die!
But our seeds remain, like in a flower.
These seeds are our sons and daughters, and even
after we where long gone, we are going to continue
living in them as they will in their own seeds.
God bless our families! And .. ..
Let’s Praise the Lord!
God is Love!
When we accept Jesus Christ in our lives,
we receive His Spirit of Love inside of us!
The opposite is true with the world!
The spirit of the world is hate!
Get rid of hate with Love!
And when we are insulted, hated
injured or hurt by hate,
instead of fighting or cursing back,
lets give them the best we have inside of us.. ..
God’s Love!
When somebody gets angry and full of hate,
takes the flowers from the vase,
throw them on the floor and smash
them with their shoes!
What happen?
The house gets filled with the best
flowers have:
Their perfume!
But we are not flowers!
No Sir! We are not!
We are Christians!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"CHRIST IS COMING"
“You have to know Timothy, that in the last days, perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebrakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” II Timothy 3-1 to 4.
Christ is coming!
Let’s prepare his way,
We are really worried
When it comes this day!
People won’t listen!
They don’t want to know about a cross or a nail,
They like to think it was: Just a fairytale.
They don’t want to understand
That after all sin we had made,
everything we owe, it needs to be paid!
If we accept that Christ life for us He has given
He takes our sins for Himself,
and we will be forgiven!
If you reject Him, if you don’t believe
He gave his life for your redemption,
You remain in sin and at the end
will be condemnation!
But there is still time!
Go to Him! Repent! Don’t be afraid!
For God sake! Believe!
Believe, and you will be saved!
We have to shake from us the snake!
Recognize Jesus cross event!
And say dear Lord: I truly repent!
I believe in You! I accept You in my life!
I don’t want your condemnation!
Have mercy on me!
Give me your Salvation!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHY DO WE HATE?"
That is an interesting question! Would you like to know why we hate?
Yes, I do! Please tell me: Why do we hate?
We hate because we do not love!
C’mon, don’t be silly! Everybody knows that!
All right! Let me finish!
We do not love, because we have hate in our hearts!
But the worse part of it is that we don’t want to do anything about it,
and we are going to be hurting people and ourselves with resentment
against a person or persons that sometime in the past did to us some-
thing we did not like, and since then we felt hurt!
Resentment is like a thorn in our hearts that hurt us every time we
remember, making us to bleed drops of anger, and anger is a poison
that can kill us if we do not decide once and for all, to stop hating!
Wait a minute!
I read in the Bible that God also hates! Have you read it?
Yes! I have! But.. .. That is different!
Why? Because He is God and He has the right to hate and we do not?
No! It‘s not like that! God is Saint He loves to do Good and hates evil!
We do the opposite! Sin is the root of all our problems!
Christ said: Love people as you love yourself! Not to hate them!
Because of pride, our hearts are full of sin, we feel depressed and ill!
We feel angry, we feel anxious, unhappy, and all that negative staff
we are stuffed with!
Yes, but how could we get rid of hate?
Listen: If you want to get rid of hate, there is no better medicine than
FORGIVING PEOPLE!
It is like having a wire broom that sweeps and scrapes evil inside of us
leaving our hearts so clean that we could invite God to live inside of us!
Forgiving is not an easy task to do, first we have to ask God to forgive us
and then, we receive the cleaning “tools” to maintain us clean, forgiving!
God is Love, God is Life, God is Truth!
Stop hating! Begin living! Begin loving!
Start a new life with Christ inside your heart!
With Christ is in your heart, there is no room for evil!
Smile!
GOD LOVES YOU!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"FRIEND OR FOE?"
It is very easy to make enemies!
But to make friends it is not! Why?
I asked a person who was working with somebody else for several years,
if they were friends, and his answer was: No, we are just co workers!
So, my question is: What was the missing ingredient for a friendship?
What do we need to have to be considered: Friend?
Respect? No! I don’t think so, because I have seen people fighting and
cursing themselves triple X and the next morning: Friends again!
So, I think it has to be: Truth and Trust! You cannot be a friend of
somebody you do not trust and be lying to you! Right?
Even marriage it is based on these two meaningful words!
When one of them is broken, marriage goes to the “drain”.
You cannot be friend of somebody you HATE either!
That is why Jesus said: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES!
Bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you, and pray for
the ones that persecute you. so you could be the children of your Father
which is in heaven; He makes the sun rise on the evil and on the good
and sends the rain for the just and for the unjust also. But ye therefore
perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mathew 5 -44 and 48.
Jesus is also called: Son of David!
David was a shepherd chosen by God to be king of Israel, and after killing
the giant Goliath, King Saul let David to live in the palace. The king had
a son named Jonathan and David and Jonathan became good friends.
Jesus is our “Jonathan” that wants us to live in the palace of his Father!
He is longing to be our friend!
As Son of David, He offers us a material kingdom!
As Son of God He offers us the spiritual kingdom called: Heaven!
Won’t you like to be His friend?
Truth and Trust are necessary for a friendship!
Do you have your trust in God? Do you truthfully love Jesus?
If you do, just open up your lips and say it!
I love you Jesus! I want you to be my Lord!
IT IS DONE! You were always in His heart! Now He is in yours!
“This is my commandment: That you love one to another as I have loved you.
There is no greater love than this: That a man lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you!”
John 15-13.

"COLORS"
We have from god a gift called: Sight
We could see with this, his wonders of creation!
We could see the blue of the skies, the brown of the mountains,
the colors of the flowers, the green of the grass and trees,
the colors of the rainbow, the colors of the seas.
If we pass a beam of light thru a prism, the light diverts into colors
these are called primary colors, red, blue, green, yellow and by mixing
them, we could get an immense variety of colors all coming from one
source: Light.
In darkness we cannot see the colors!
Darkness is the absence of light! Evil is the absence of God.
The world is full of darkness, so God sent his Son to give us Light!
“I am the Light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in
darkness but shall have the light of life.” John 8-12.
Virtue is like the running water from a river, clean and transparent but
when the dirt of sin, mixes with it makes it dark and ugly tasting.
“He that hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and he
does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded
his eyes.” I John 2-11.
We all say: We love God! But our actions demonstrate the opposite!
If we could be able to see what color we had dressed up our souls.. ..
What color would it be? White, black, or gray?
When we recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we wash our
cloths in his Blood and make them white as snow!
God’s Light surpasses all the physical and natural aspects of life, so we
could be able to appreciate from our natural world, the spiritual one!
We will see all the colors we cannot see if we remain in darkness!
When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we receive his Holy
Spirit who guide us along with all our reds, blues and greens through
the “prism” of the sacrifice of his Son, his death and resurrection
for the forgiveness of sin, and removing all the “spots” of our
violations of God’s Laws, He make us to come out to the other side
thanks to his might: Righteous, and with our garments, pure white!
OPEN UP YOUR WINDOWS!
LET CHRIST’S LIGHT TO SHINE IN YOU!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"TODAY IS OURS"
Yesterday was the time
we carelessly drank like wine
without thinking about tomorrow.
Today is the future of yesterday
And a new cup has been prepared
for our enjoyment.
But before the day is up,
wash your cup and make it shine,
so if God decides to fill it back,
you will drink from it, tomorrow.
Tomorrow is in God hands!
And don’t you forget this ever:
If you accept his Son today,
His love will be with you forever!
Past it’s like the morning dew
that disappeared with the sun.
Today it’s our own!
Tomorrow? It hasn’t come!
Forget about yesterday!
Don’t worry about tomorrow!
Get close to God! TODAY!
You will live with Him, tomorrow!
PAISE THE LORD!

"EXPIRATION DAY"
When we go to a store, we carefully check:
The expiration day of all the things we are buying.
Milk, cookies, canned products, candy, medicine and so on,
but what we don’t know or we don’t want to know is that:
Everything in the Universe have: An expiration day!
Everything?
Yes, Everything! Including ourselves! We have” stamped”
on us even that we cannot see it, AN EXPIRATION DATE!
That means we can go at any minute predestined by God!
Oh! Shut up! I don’t want to talk about it!
Are you afraid to die?
Well, not really, But.. .. I’m afraid of the unknown!
I understand, but let me tell you: You are afraid because you
are not very sure in which place you are going to end! Right?
In a way yes! But tell me:
Is it any way we could be sure about it?
I’m glad you asked! Yes! There is! It is just:
A matter of choice!
Up or down! Heaven or hell! God or evil!
I understand that nobody wants to go to hell, but, are we heading:
The right direction?
That is what I want it to know! Please tell me!
It is very simple, look:
God is good! Evil is bad!
If we say we love God but we are doing evil, we are going wrong!
Just by saying we chose God does not mean we are going to heaven!
You have to prove it with trust and obedience to Him!
God appointed his Son as the only Way to go to Him!
“For God sent not his Son to the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth
on him is not condemn; but he that believeth not is condemn already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son
of God.” John 3-17 and 18.
JESUS IS THE WAY, OUR ONLY WAY TO REACH GOD!
TAKE YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME! Said Jesus!
It is an invitation to stop our evil ways and start God’s Way!
FORGET THE EXPIRATION DAY!
IF WE KNOW JESUS, WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO GOD!
READ THE BIBLE!
PRAISE THE LORD!
