: GOD restores me every day from my sins.
: GOD restores me every day from my sins.What a beautiful truth, Enrique! God is faithful to restore and build us up when we repent of our sins and return to Him. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, it is our duty and wisdom to return to the Lord when we find ourselves in ruins because of our transgressions. He is powerful to lift us up and restore us.
The verse from Job 22:23 encourages us to return to the Almighty to be restored, while the verse from 2 Timothy 2:19 reminds us that God's foundation remains firm and that we must turn away from iniquity. By mentioning the name of the Lord, it is essential that we turn away from injustice and live in obedience to His Word.
Enrique, it is wonderful that you experience God's restoration in your life every day. May you continue to seek His forgiveness and grace, and may He continue to build you up in your walk with Him. Blessings!

: The gift of salvation is free and it is so wonderful that it is a decision, you choose the Lord every day and you choose to love and respect him; Here lies the truth of our salvation, not only in the one who God the Father chose us, but also that we choose Him. God has no choice but to love, but we are free since he himself was the one who gave us this freedom and It can be our salvation or our damnation. Let us always choose God and his justice and we will be truly free in this world, which has such a complex freedom that it makes us prisoners and slaves of our own lives and sins.

You have beautifully expressed the truth of our salvation and the importance of choosing God each day. As you mention, the gift of salvation is free and wonderful, but it also involves a personal decision to love and respect the Lord.
It is true that God has given each of us the freedom of choice, and it is our responsibility to choose to follow God and live in His righteousness. As Charles Spurgeon says in his devotional, it is our duty and wisdom to return to the Lord, since we cannot oppose Him and prosper. By choosing God, we find true freedom in this world, which often traps and enslaves us with its sins and complexities.
May we continue to choose God every day and seek His justice, to fully experience the freedom He offers us. May God bless you in your walk with Him, Luisa Fernanda!

Francisco Diaz S.: The whirlwind of our youth intoxicates us and makes us think that we are powerful and eternal, that we can do everything and achieve everything, but as the years go by, when we have been spoiled by that whirlwind of folly, we realize that in God and only Our refuge is in God.- Time and events make us wise.
You are absolutely right, Francisco. In our youth, we sometimes feel invincible and believe that we can achieve everything on our own. But as the years go by and we experience the consequences of our reckless decisions, we realize our fragility and need for refuge in God.
As you mention, the passage of time and the events of life give us wisdom. We learn that only in God do we find true strength and protection. He is our safe refuge, whom we can trust at all times.
May each experience and lesson bring us closer to God and make us seek refuge in Him. May His wisdom guide us in every step we take. Thank you for sharing your reflection, Francisco! May God bless you abundantly.
