"GOD,HOW FAST"

We went around the sun one more time, and it seems,
that every time, it’s faster!
Don’t tell anybody, but, how many trips have you done
in this incredible “Merry go round” around the sun?
Ten, Twenty? Fifty, or maybe one hundred times?
The first trips are exciting, now is exhausting!
How many more to go?
Don’t take it too seriously!
It is just a trip on the safest vehicle in this galaxy, and
we don’t have to refuel, or stop to pick up passengers!
But there is just one thing that worries me:
Where is the station?
How are we going to get down?
Don’t worry!
If you believe in God…
If you believe He sent his Son to save you, and you
accepted his Salvation…
Heads up!
You are in good hands!
In God hands!
Enjoy more your life helping people!
And praising the Lord!
Give Him Glory!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015.
GOD BLESS YOU!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS"

When Jesus was born?
Was it on December?
Was it on September?
Was it in July, or in November?

It does not really matter!
The important thing is that:

God came down from heaven in a human body
to offer himself as a living sacrifice to God
for the forgiveness of sins of man kind!

The important thing is that:
He resurrected at the third day to be the
First One who died and came back to life
to live forever!

The important thing is that:
He will come back to give eternal life
to all who believe He could save us!

The most important thing is:
That you receive Him in your heart and become
a born again believer to serve God and people!

The most important thing is:
To proclaim his Name to others,
so they could also be saved!

The most important creature for God is… You!
Thank Him for His love!
And…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"A REASON TO LIVE,AND TO BELIEVE"

The world, the beautiful blue planet is the only one as we know so far
that can support life as we know it! It is a planet full of life!
We have the opportunity to admire it, and to see all the beautiful things
God had created for our enjoyment.
But we get involved in other things that “robs” our time, and we forget
the reasons we have to live, and to believe!
We worry about everything, and worrying is the main ingredient for
our lack of believing! We have to have Faith, because:
Faith is our Confidence and our Trust!
And when we deposit it in the Lord, we begin to have a reason to live!
And a reason to believe!
When we put ourselves in the hands of the Lord, we get rid of worries!
We get rid of fear, because fear is: A lack if faith!
Put your faith in Jesus!
Put your life at his feet!
Begin to read the Bible, and to know God!
HE IS OUR REASON TO LIVE!
HE IS OUR REASON TO BELIEVE!
They are so few honest people and so many sinners, that God had to
come down from heaven to talk to people to change them, so they
could turn to Him for salvation!
WE CANNOT CHANGE THE WORLD!
BUT OURSELVES, WE CAN!
A new life is waiting!
Awaking in us as a reason!
A REASON TO LIVE!
A REASON TO BELIEVE!

TO BELIEVE IN A SAVIOR!
TO BELIEVE IN JESUS, OUR LORD!
BELIEVE!

GOD BLESS YOU!

"SURRENDER YOUR HEART TO GOD"

Churches are full of people asking for miracles, however,
Most of them ask for material things, not for spiritual gifts like
Grace, Love, Patience, Charity etc.
Listen:
A person entered a church and walk straight forward to the image
of the virgin Mary, on its knees began praying, talking, smiling
sighing, crying, until finally stood up and walked to the center
of the altar and in front of the crucifix began to say:
I’m sorry Jesus, but …
Everything I had inside my heart I gave it to your holy mother
and I had nothing left to give you!
That is not true Jesus said your heart is full! Full of sins!
Bring them to me! I died on the cross precisely for that
to forgive your sins and give you life eternal.
But when you get completely clean…
SURRENDER YOUR HEART TO GOD!

“I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener.
Every branch in me that bereth not fruit He taketh away;
And every branch that bereth fruit He purgeth it, that
It may bring forth more fruit.” John 15-1

“Abide In me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the
vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” John 15- 4.

The virgin Mary and Jesus are two persons with different
purposes, the virgin Mary lived to bring forth our Savior
to the world, and Him, died to give us life when we repent
from our sins and believe in our hearts that God his Father
rose Him from the death.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"SALVATION BY WORKS?"

NO! Absolutely no! Salvation is free, said the Bible, and if we try
to “buy it” with our “good deeds” it wouldn’t be free.
AND FREE IT IS! Romans 11- 5 and 6.
Well, and how the Apostle James says that we do need them?
Yes! We do need them, but not for salvation!
Let me explain it: Wanting to do good deeds to be saved is like
saying that Jesus Christ is not sufficient to save us and He needs
our help to be able to do it, but that is not the case at all.
If we could be able to be saved by our own works, we would not
needed Jesus to die for us, But no, our good deeds cannot save us!
ONLY CHRIST CAN!
I’m sorry my friend but I don’t understand!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
Many people in the world do not understand because they don’t
want to read the Word of God!
Permit me to illustrate it like this:
Our mothers gave us birth with pain, and after they gave us life,
devoted their lives to care for us, defending us, protecting us so
we could be safe and sound.
We understand this when we grow up and try to do something
for them, to appreciate their love and care!
Hugs, flowers, kisses, or simply taking them out for dinner.
These nice things we do for them are in appreciation for what
they have done for us, not to do something for us!
We don’t do it for them to save us, but because they already
saved us for the perils of the world.
In the same token, our good deeds are in appreciation for God
because He saved us! Do you understand now?
Salvation is ours when we believe, and put our faith in Jesus!
Jesus paid a great price to rescue us from sin!
To accept Jesus Christ is to renounce of the world of sin
we are living in, beginning a new life with true love for God
and people!

OPEN UP YOUR HEART!
LET HIM IN!

"NUMBER ONE"

God gave us a body to move throughout this world, and
a mind to think and choose between good and evil.
He gave us a mouth to worship and a heart to love and
To keep all the nice things we love in this life:
Our families, friends, our work, entertainment
( sports, music, movies ) and God.
Of course, the list does not have to be in this order!
No? Then, in which order should it go?
Well, think a little, God should be first!
Yes! That is true, but … do we do it?
Not always we leave God at the end of our list?
The day pass, and we never got to the last in our list!
We did not have time for God! Weird, is not it?
The next day, we begin with the first one again:
Entertainment, work, work, work, family, and God!
No! Not me you may say, The first thing I do is to pray in the
morning to God and all his saints so I may have a good day!
That is nice, but when you are referring to the saints,
who is first, the saints, or God?
God of course!
Very well my friend! That is the way it should be!
God said: Do not put other “gods” before me. Exodus 20.
And that is something we should always consider not to do!
We must always give the first place to God in our lives, so,
He could bless us with his best blessings.
I think it would be better not to have him at all in our list,
like the atheists do, than to have Him forgotten at the end!
God knows us like an open book, however…
We have to open his book to know Him!
Read the Bible, know the Lord!
Your life will be truly blessed!
He gave us a heart to love!
Open it up and invite Him to live in it!

Praise the Lord!

"ARE YOU A SINNER?"

Who? Me?
Yes! You!
Are you a sinner?
No! I am not!
Why are you asking me that question?
Well, because God says we all are!
Do you know that?
No, I don’t! Where did you get that?
From the Bible! It says it like this:
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
But if we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us
our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and his
Word is not in us. I John 1: 8, 9, and 10.
So, I am going to ask you again:
Are you a sinner?
Well, I guess I am!
Have you dealt with your sins?
What do you mean?
Have you ever repented of them, and asked God for forgiveness?
Have you ever wanted to stop sinning?
Have you ever wanted to change?
No! I haven’t! But…
I don’t think I am a bad person!
I love people!
Are you sure?
Sure I am sure! You don’t believe me?
Tell me: How is your relationship with your family?
Let’s not talk about it will you?
Ups! I’m sorry! But, how are you going to love people like that?
God says: Forgive and you will be forgiven!
How are we going to ask God for forgiveness if we don’t want
to forgive? Our nature of sin hates to forgive, but Jesus loves it so
much that not only died to forgive us, but, also to teach us to do it!
We can only forgive and forget with Christ in us!
And we have Him in us when opening our hearts to Him…
Beg Him to enter!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"THE INCREDIBLE FAITH OF A THIEF"

Next to two thieves, Jesus was dying!
One of them, doubting of Him, said:
If you are the Son of God, get down of that cross and save us!
The thieve was referring to a physical salvation, however, the other
one with an extraordinary faith, recognizing Jesus as King and Savior,
told his partner: How could you say that?
We deserve this kind of death but He doesn’t, because He is innocent!
And turning his head toward Jesus, said: Lord, remember me when
You be in your kingdom! Luke 23-39.
He recognized Jesus as King, without taking in consideration the cir-
cumstances they were, dying on the cross with his face disfigured,
his body full of blood because of his wounds.
It really takes a person with an extraordinary faith to be able to put
himself in the hands of somebody ready to die! But he did!
I feel bad just in thinking what I have done in those circumstances!
probably what the other did! However, the “good” thief, believed!
Listen: Jesus did not tell him: If you want to come with me, you need:
to read the Bible, to go to church, to respect the Ten Commandments,
because is obvious that he did not! But…
He simply told him: Today, you will be with me in Paradise!
This is the kind of faith we need to have!
However, because we don’t have it, we have to read the Bible,
go to church, etc. to get closer to God!
To believe that Jesus can save us, and the fact that He resurrected at
the third day, is the kind of faith we need to have to be saved!
Wait a minute! Are you saying that I have to be a thief to have faith?
No! Not at all! The other thief did not have it at all, however ,
God had Mercy on one of them!
God said: I will have Mercy with the one I will have Mercy!
Exodus 33 - 19.
But later, God extended his Grace to all the world!
“So God love the world ….” You know that, right? John 3-16.
We need to be closer to God to increase our faith!
Faith is a present from God when we ask Him for help!
We always are asking Jesus for miracles to believe!
Grace cannot be bought! It is a present to us when we believe!
Lord: Remember me when you will be in your kingdom!
He will remember us if we believe!
In Him!
Praise the Lord!

"WHO IS HE?"

Who is Jesus Christ?
Oh, he was a Jewish Prophet who was condemn to die on a cross
because he said he was the son of the Almighty God. Right?
Right, let’s see, you, tell me who Jesus Christ is?
I don’t know! I never heard about him!
No? What religion do you profess?
None! I am an Atheist!
That explains it all! You don’t believe God exists!
Well, that is your problem!
Let’s see, you! Tell me who Jesus Christ is?
He is the Savior of the world!
Vey well! And you, what do you have to say?
He is our Redeemer! Correct?
Yes! Of course! God tired of listen to his people complaint,
He came down from heaven converted in a human being
to offer his life on a cross for the forgiveness of sin.
John the Baptist use to say about Him: He is the Lamb
of God who takes the sin of the world! John 1- 29.
Jesus asked his Apostles: what do the people says who am I?
Some say you are John the Baptist, others that you are Elias,
and others that you are Jeremiah or one of the Prophets,
And you, whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered
and said: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!
And Jesus said: Blessed are you Simon son of Jonah, for flesh
and blood had not reveal it to you, but my Father which is in
heaven. Mathew 16- 13.
Let’s see, continued the religious man, raise a hand who ever
has something to say about Jesus!
Some raised their hands, and said: He is the Good Shepherd!
Others, He is the Lord! He is God said somebody else!
The religious man, took his wrist watch and raised it as high
as he could and said: this is a watch! Nobody can say is theirs,
because I have it! It belongs to me! It is mine! How ever:
This Jesus we are talking about, is longing to be to whoever
wants to claim Him as theirs by opening their hearts to Him
and inviting Him to enter! That way He is not going to be just
the Lord anymore, but: YOUR LORD and YOUR SAVIOR.
From then on you are going to say: The Lord is my Shepherd,
My Strong hold, my Light, my Protection, my Fountain of
Life, my Happiness, my Tranquility, my Teacher, my Friend,
My Father and my God!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"LIBERTY"

Liberty is the complete separation from that what
slaves us, and hurt us.
If we are slaves of sin, and Christ makes us free,
its surely not to continue sinning, but to start a new
life away as much as we possible can from what
slaved us and made us suffer!
We cannot say that we are living for Christ if we
continue living close to what God prohibited us!
And not because Christians are forgiven, we have
permission to continue sinning.
We are free, it is true!
But not to continue hating, but to begin loving
truthfully our Lord and people!
An Italian Lady writer who died some days ago,
Said: “Amo amare” I love to love.
Just two words but worth thousands of them!
Two words we should always keep in our hearts!
She also said:
“Amando c’ ‘e tutto in queste mundo”
“Loving is all in this World”
Rest in peace!
Maria Luisa Spaziani.

God is Love!
Hate enslaved us, but Christ gave us Liberty!
Love Him with all your heart!

"FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE"

We live in a world of sin, far away from Love, and we need Love to com-
plete a wonderful triangle whose main purpose is to take us to heaven!
We all have Hope! We all have Faith, but we do not have Love!
Why?
Because we, humans, cannot produce it!
We could just receive it from God, because God is Love!
Our Hope is the base of our triangle, and our Faith is one of its sides that
rests on “love”, however, many times this “love” that our Faith leans on,
is not the true Love but just an absurd imitation of what Love really is!
Today I was told that a young man in his early twenties took his life,
because his girl friend dumped him off!
She was the side of his triangle on which his Faith was resting on,
when she left, his Faith collapsed and killed his Hope!
How sad!
Other people rest their faith on money, drugs, or simple material idols
who represent “love” for them! This is also sad!
Love is spiritual, cannot be touched, cannot be seen, but it could mate-
rialize in Charity, because Charity is Love!
“So God loved the world that gave his only Begotten Son for whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3-16.
Jesus is Charity from God to save the world!
When our faith rests on Jesus Christ, even when diminishes, the Son
of the Almighty God sustain it! He is our Strong hold!
He takes good care of us and does not rest until He takes us to heaven
for an eternal life with Him in Paradise, is not what you’re Hoping for?
Listen: Where does your Faith rests upon?
Give your back to sin and your face to God!
Rest your Faith on Jesus, you will never regret it! And…
You will be saved!
“Three things will remain: Faith, Hope and Love.
But the most important of these three is Love”
Corinthians 13.

"OUR FATHER 2"

“Jesus is Lord”
Have you ever read or pray psalm 23, The Lord is my Shepherd?
It goes like this: The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want…
Wait, How come we can say The Lord is MY Shepherd in the psalms
but we cannot say MY FATHER in the Lord’s prayer?
Could it be because the Apostles prayed in group?
I don’t think so, because even when they were alone, they had to say:
OUR FATHER.
Why is that?
Simply because the Shepherd in Psalm twenty three, believe it or not,
Is Jesus and we have to recognize Him as our Shepherd, so we could
say along with Him: OUR FATHER!
I don’t understand it! Could you explain it to me better?
Yes! Look:
“God sent fort his Son, made of a woman, made under the Law,
to redeem them that were under the Law ,that we may receive
the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
OUR FATHER! Galatians 4- 4
Jesus said: “Nobody can go to the Father if is not through me”
If we say MI FATHER as Jesus say, we not necessarily are indicating
that we have accepted Him as our Lord! But if we recognize Him
as Lord of us, He will live in us and together we can say:
OUR FATHER! Do you understand?
Do you mean Jesus and I will say together Our Father?
Wow! Now, you understood!
Are you also saying that King David was praying to Jesus Christ
when he wrote Psalm twenty three?
Well, although, the book of psalms were written long time before
Jesus were born, if we consider that the Almighty God of heavens
came to earth to give his life for his sheep…
Of course! HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD! JESUS IS LORD!
And when we accept Him as our Lord, we never will alone any more,
Because He always will be with us, and together, on a daily basis
happy or in time of trouble, we could fall on our knees and say:
“OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
BLESSED BE THY NAME”… Mathew 6-9.
Christ in us, we in Christ, a perfect communion!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"OUR FATHER"

“The blessing pill”
We take a pill to sleep, a pill to wake up, one for our stress, another, for
our head aches, for our muscular pain and maybe, one for our brain,
but we always forget to take the best of them all: our “Blessings pill”
Blessings pill???
What is that?
Let me ask you a question: When was the last time since your last prayer?
Oh yea, I know where you’re going, but I was so busy that…
You didn’t answer my question!
Do you remember when, was the last time you prayed?
No! I don’t, it’s been such a long time, that I forgot how to do it!
Don’t worry! We could start today!
The Apostles asked Jesus: Lord, teach us how to pray!
See? Even them did not know how to do it!
Jesus said to them: when you pray do it like this:
“Our Father which art in heaven, hallow be thy name….
Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.” Mathew 6- 9.
This is an invitation to God to come to us, to forgive us, to help us,
to uphold us, to bless us, to keep us out of trouble, to feed us,
to teach us, to give us his love! Just by recognize him as our Father!
And being a son, give us the right to be co heirs of his Glory,
Thanks to his Son who died on the cross for us! Thank you Lord!
That is the “pill” we should never forget to take every day!
Easy to swallow, begins releasing its blessings all day in us,
bringing calm, peace, and love to our hearts!
Can you ask for more?.... Oh yes! PRAISE THE LORD!

One day you may not need so many pills!
C’mon, Lets pray together:
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN……..
God bless you all!

"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY"

Mom asked to her little daughter:
Honey, do you love me?
Sure Mom I do!
How much do you love me?
The little girl opening her arms as wide as she could,
with a big smile on her face, she said:
This much Mom!
And she received a big kiss.
Mom said little Jimmy,
I love you from here to the moon and back!
Very good Jimmy she said and stamped a big kiss
on his face.
And you Robert?
She asked to her bigger son and he said:
Mom:
You know I love you and I will love you forever!
Mom got surprised for that unexpected answer,
and embracing them all three of them, with tears
on her eyes she began to say:
Dear Lord Thank you!
I will never thank you enough for these lovely kids
You gave me!
And all them shouted at the same time:

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

"BORN AGAIN 2"

Wouldn’t be nice to have an opportunity to begin a new life
from scratch, but without having to start school at kinder garden?
To begin a new life with the list of our sins that God has on his
desk, all blotted out? Complete erased and trashed canned?
Obtaining from Him a new book to begin writing our new life,
away from the errors we commit before until the present day?
Oh wow? Is that possible?
God says it is! Look: In Hebrews 10-17 God says:
“And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more!”
How could we get rid of our sins?
I’ll tell you:
There is a big difference in going to confess your sins just to feel
clean and repeat them again the next day!
Why did you repent if you were planning to do them over again?
To be born again is to have the desire to accept God’s help to cure
us from the bad influence sin has over us!
And this happens when we are tired to live a life full of fear, hate,
worries, anxieties, after we broke the Commandments of God.
Our new life starts with the sincere desire to walk on the righteous
paths of God, and ends in an eternal life granted to us after our
acceptance of the help He gives us through His Son Jesus who
sent to the world to die on the cross to pay for our sins.
He has the Power to forgive us!
He has the Power to put His Spirit within us through which our
new life is possible!
Your new life is waiting for you! Are you ready?
Or you want to continue faking that you are truly repented while
continue living is sin?
Our new life as a born again believer in Jesus, breaks all barriers
of death and put us in heaven the resting place of God!
We have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior!
But don’t do it now!
Do it when you are absolutely convinced that He died
to save you, and resurrected to give you a new life forever!
But, how am I going to be convinced of that?
Read the Bible! And…

PRAISE THE LORD!

"BORN AGAIN"

Life span is a space of time between the instant we were born,
to the moment we stop breathing.
Life is a gift from God that we receive thru our mothers, to enjoy it
in this amazing blue planet called Earth.
We could use our life to help, or we could use it to hurt!
It is entirely up to us!
When our time span reaches its end, our body goes to the ground,
our spirit goes back to God who lend it, and our soul, free from
the body, face judgment with God for all the wrong things we did,
when we were inside that body we use to call : ME.
It’s that it?
No! Not yet!
Later in life we find out that we were not making the right choices,
and now we don’t know what to do!
God: Could you help me?
Christ came to this world to give us the opportunity to change our
choosing ways! Without Him, there is nothing good we can choose!
Facing God without Jesus, will be our eternal doom!
Condemnation for our sins, but, Christ by means of his sacrifice on
the cross, was able to pay for our sins, and even before we die,
He will make us to be born again!
That means that instead of God punishing us for our sins committed
in our flesh, we will be forgiven and pass directly to life, instead of
passing from life to eternal dead, we will pass from life to eternal life!
Without Christ our souls will have a hard time to find a place to rest.
But thanks to his sacrifice and resurrection, we will have life forever!
Eternal life with Him!
Life in the world as we know it… It is only a test! A test we all fail!
But thanks to the Almighty God that sent his beloved Son to help us:
We will emerge Victorious!
The life we receive from our mothers it’s rather short! Very short!
But the life we receive from the Holy Spirit when we accept Christ
as our Lord and Savior… It is forever!
If you think that life “sucks”
You don’t need to get rid of it, what you need is:
TO BE BORN AGAIN!
Death is for nonbelievers! Wake up to a new life!
Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior is to be born again!
Do it! And tell everybody, to…
PRAISE THE LORD!

"THINK ABOUT JESUS"

The world was submerged
In heavy clouds of sin,
So thick we couldn’t see,
God help me!
Have mercy on me!

Think about Jesus
He will make you free!

Jesus is the Light
that dissipates darkness
Now I can see!
The filth within me!

He will break those chains
That enslaves us to sin
He will be our friend
He will give us Liberty!

We stumble in darkness
Nothing we could see
With the Light from heaven,
We know where we’ll be!

Shackles on my mind
Shackles on my feet
Shackles on my hand…
All fell to the ground!

No other name under heaven
to call upon Salvation
Thank you Jesus
We will lean on thy!

Think about Jesus!
He will set you free!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"OPPOSITE WINDS"

When we are walking and we have the wind at our backs, we feel sort
of gently push that refreshes us when we are walking, jogging or just
enjoying the beautiful morning, we receive it as a blessing from God,
but when it changes its direction and begin pushing against us making
harder our walking, bringing dust to our eyes, we become very disap-
pointed and return home!
When everything is the way we wanted it, we have no complaints, but,
just a little thing that does not make us feel good, there is a complaint!
Life for us is nice when we are healthy, and have the resources to main-
tain our daily living the way we wanted, then, we are happy!
But when we get sick or something bad occurs in the family, we begin
To get angry, mad, displeased about God!
Why did you do this, why did you do that?
But when life is generous with us, we don’t even remember thanking
Him for the good things we had and will receive!
God sometimes permits bad things to happen in our lives to shake us
and make us to seek for the only One who can help us!
But why wait until we get sick or we are in trouble?
Although these winds seem to be oppose to us, actually they are not!
They are to solidify our faith, and our love for God!
So, don’t get discouraged with the opposite winds!
They are the ladder toward the kingdom of God!
A lot of people return and abandon their desire of victory on the
rocky road and full of thorns toward God’s kingdom.
Stop looking at the floor with your head down! Look up!
Salvation is coming from the heights!
I want you to remember something:
Air planes cannot take off without opposite winds!
And when we follow God’s instructions, taking advantage
of the opposite winds…
We could take off like an eagle conquering great heights!
Victory is ours when we trust the Lord!
Just knock… And He will open the doors of heaven for you!
Read the Bible and…..

PRAISE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART!

"GOD IS LOVE"

The Ten Commandments are to know the grade of sinners we are!
To know that we are slaves of sin, and we need a Savior!
One with so much love in his heart, humble pure and saint that
could sacrifice his life to save ours!
To rescue us from sin!
To set us free!
Not free to continue sinning, but to love God and others!

“A man making fun about other carrying a Bible under his arm
said: Have you found Him yet?
And he answered: I didn’t know He was lost, however,
I understood that the lost one was me, and that I needed a Savior,
so I opened my heart and invited Him to enter!
Now He lives in me, and I live in Him, in a union that will last
forever, when He knocks on the doors of your heart,
don’t harden it! Let Him in!”

God is Love!
And that is what we need to be able to love God and people!
Jesus gave his life to save yours!
How many times He may have knocked at the doors of your
heart without any response at all?
Don’t waste the opportunity to get close to Him and be free!
Lord: Help me!
I believe in you!
Forgive my sins and save me!
Come into my heart and never leave me!
I don’t want to be alone anymore!
My life is at your feet!

GLORY TO THE LORD!

"ANGELS"

I was talking with a friend of about angels, yes I said angels
exist, God appointed one for every person in the world to take
care of us, to advise us in times of trouble, to alert us when
an accident is about to happen so we could try to avoid it!
How do you know that angels exist?
Well, the Bible talks about them!
We may not see them but they are real, very real I said!
If that is the case, I need six of them to take care of me he said.
No you don’t I replied, one will be enough, if you listen!
Why will you need one thousand angels at your side if you don’t
listen to any one of them? Besides, the devil is a copy cater as you
may know and he also appointed one or more of his bad angels to
make us trip fall and get hurt!
Our good angel loves to hear us praying and praising God, while the
other enjoys listen to us cursing, and damning people, he loves to see
us fighting, stealing, killing and all the other bad things God hates.
Life in this world is dangerous and we are like kids seating on a swing
hung over a swamp infested with crocodiles jumping trying to get us,
and the angel alert us, but if we are too busy and not listen, we could
get bit on our rear end for not paying attention around us!
Are you listening?
We have to listen to our good angel if we want to be on the safe side.
Watch out! The waters are moving! I can hear a noise!
The crocodiles are coming they are getting close!
Get off your swing, move to safer grounds!
Get away from evil, get closer to God!
These angels are outside but we could have the Spirit of God
inside of us accepting his Son Jesus as our Lord and Savior!
He will direct us, bless us and protect us from bad spirits!
The only thing we have to say is: Thank you Jesus!
You are the Boss!
Thank you for dying for me on the cross!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"GOD LOVES YOU"

Tired of living in sin,
I’m just thinking
In the sea of sin my God…
I’m sinking!

I can’t sleep!
My heart is pumping with dread
I am just turning and turning
on my bed!

Sad and lonesome
began a new day,
I abandoned my Lord..
I guess is time for me to pay!

With so many sins my Lord,
You shouldn’t save me!
I am a sinner I can see,
You should forget about me!

He took away my pride,
Hate came to an end…
I began to love…
He called me his friend!

I feel his Peace and his Love
The end of my stress,
I thank you my Lord
I am truly blessed!

If you cannot sleep,
Be a little smart
Remember the Lord…
Invite Him into your heart!

PRAISE THE LORD!

"WHO IS HE?"

Who is Jesus Christ?
Oh, he was a Jewish Prophet who was condemn to die on a cross
because he said he was the son of the Almighty God. Right?
Right, let’s see, you, tell me who Jesus Christ is?
I don’t know! I had never heard about him!
No? What religion do you profess?
None! I am an Atheist!
That explains it all! You don’t believe God exists!
Well, that is your problem!
Let’s see, you! Tell me who Jesus Christ is?
He is the Savior of the world!
Vey well! And you, what do you have to say?
He is our Redeemer! Correct?
Yes! Of course! God tired of listen to his people complaint,
He came down from heaven converted in a human being
to offer his life on a cross for the forgiveness of sin.
John the Baptist use to say about Him: He is the Lamb
of God who takes the sin of the world! John 1- 29.
Jesus asked his Apostles: what do the people says who am I?
Some say you are John the Baptist, others that you are Elias,
and others that you are Jeremiah or one of the Prophets,
And you, whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered
and said: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!
And Jesus said: Blessed are you Simon son of Jonah, for flesh
and blood had not reveal it to you, but my Father which is in
heaven. Mathew 16- 13.
Let’s see, continued the religious man, raise a hand who ever
has something to say about Jesus!
Some raised their hands, and said: He is the Good Shepherd!
Others, He is the Lord! He is God said somebody else!
The religious man, took his wrist watch and raised it as high
as he could and said: this is a watch! Nobody can say is theirs,
because I have it! It belongs to me! It is mine! How ever:
This Jesus we are talking about, is longing to be to whoever
wants to claim Him as theirs by opening their hearts to Him
and inviting Him to enter! That way He is not going to be just
the Lord anymore, but: YOUR LORD and YOUR SAVIOR.
From then on you are going to say: The Lord is my Shepherd,
My Strong hold, my Light, my Protection, my Fountain of
Life, my Happiness, my Tranquility, my Teacher, my Friend,
My Father and my God!
PRAISE THE LORD!

"A TRIP TO THE PAST"

Chatting about the past, a friend was telling me that he heard from
somebody, that it wasn’t any good to recall events from the past,
because, it can make us suffer, it can make us cry.
Believe me he said, he was a wise person from the ancient china.
And just kidding to him I said: Many people had said that:
The past hurts us! Forget about the past! Live the present!
But I think it’s not correct!
Why?
Well, because if remembering make us suffer…
Not remembering will make us die! We are our memories!
Do you remember when you receive in your arms your first born?
Remember when you kissed it with all your love?
Look: If somebody asks you where do you live, or, what is your
name and your answer would be: I don’t know! I don’t remember!
That would really be suffering! Don’t you think so?
We should open those doors of the past more often to prevent its
hinges to get rusted and be harder to open them up!
How are we going to “repair” our bad decisions of yesterday,
to improve our future, if today we do not remember how it was?
Our minds are the most powerful recorder that we could ever have!
In it, all our past is recorded and we could obtain it!
The “drawer” of our memories may be bad organized!
We should learn how to deal with it! And practice everyday!
In a trip to the past we could see all the bad actions we had done,
If we ask for forgiveness to all people we had hurt, and forgive all
who hurt us, we could clean completely our past.
Have peace in the present!
And prepare ourselves for a better future!

Father:
Forgive our trespasses as we forgive the ones who trespasses
unto us, and protect us from the evil one…
Amen!
