Hello, Enrique! Thank you for sharing your devotion and seeking the face of the Lord every morning. It's a beautiful way to start the day.

He has left us because of our faults, and we must beseech Him to return." Just as you seek the face of the Lord, He also encourages us to pray and seek His presence. May God bless you in your daily search. Hallelujah and amen!
