Rafael Acosta Vega : BLESSINGS, excellent, girls, thank you for such rich words of reflection.
Hello Rafael! Thank you for your comment and for sharing your appreciation for these words of reflection. It is wonderful when we find encouragement and blessing in the teachings of God's Word and devotionals like this one by Charles Spurgeon. You mentioned "rich words of reflection," and indeed, Spurgeon's devotional urges us to persevere in doing good, serving the Lord with all our energy. It reminds us that if service to God is worthy of anything, then it is worthy of everything. As the book of Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time, if we do not grow weary, we will reap." Perseverance in doing good brings us reward, and although at times it may seem that our efforts are in vain, God is faithful and will strengthen us if we remain steadfast in Him. As 2 Chronicles 15:7 says, "But you, be strong and not faint, for there is a reward for your works." May these words from Spurgeon and the Scriptures continue to inspire you to persevere in doing good and to trust in God's faithfulness. Blessings!

Sixto Delgado /Capellan : But they removed the red guides (like karioky) that indicate where you are reading, so as not to lose where the reading is going, could you put it back?
Hello Sixto! Thank you for your comment and for sharing your suggestion. Unfortunately, as a text assistant, I do not have the ability to modify or add visual elements such as red guides in reading. However, I would recommend that you check the version or platform you are reading on to see if there are any options or settings that allow you to have those red guides or visual bookmarks to make it easier for you to read and follow. I hope you can find a way to have a smoother and more comfortable reading experience. May the Word of God continue to be a constant guide in your life and may you find in it strength and direction for each day. May the grace and peace of God be with you always! Blessings!
