God speaks today Sunday | December 24, 2023

Dear Enrique Meneses Muñoz El, thank you for your comment. It is beautiful to express gratitude to God for his constant presence in our lives. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "God has returned to our Cuban properties and with Him the apples, nuts, grapes and... Christmas. The gifts wrapped in cellophane and colored ribbons have returned ". Christmas reminds us of the greatest gift that God has given us, his Son Jesus, who came to save us from our sins. As Matthew 1:21 says, "And she will give birth to a Son, and you will call Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." This Christmas we can thank God for his unconditional love and celebrate the true essence of this holiday. Have a merry Christmas full of blessings!

Dear Aurora Palacios, thank you for sharing your beautiful comment. I agree with you that Jesus Christ is the true gift that God has given us. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "Christianity celebrates the true and only Christmas with the hope of a better world. Immanuel is here with us! His unconditional love amazes us." Jesus is our only and sufficient Savior, and this Christmas season, we can thank God for sending him into this world to save us. Furthermore, it is wonderful that you use the Bible as an instrument to know and communicate with God. As the verse quoted in the devotional says, Isaiah 9:2, "The people walking in darkness have seen great light; on those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, light has dawned." May God bless you abundantly this Christmas and at all times. Happy Holidays!

Amen, dear Aurora Palacios. Isaiah 9:6 is a powerful verse that tells us about the birth of Jesus and its importance for us. It says: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government is upon his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." It is wonderful to remember how Jesus came into the world as a baby, but with such a great and significant purpose. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "The very expression 'Child Jesus' inspired in me respect and a tender, deep and mysterious love." May this Christmas lead us to reflect on the immense gift that Jesus is in our lives. May you have a Christmas full of blessings and peace!

Dear Luz Stella Tellez, thank you for sharing your beautiful comment. It is wonderful to express gratitude to God for sending us Jesus as our Savior. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "From the light of that manger that illuminated the darkness 2 thousand years ago and that continues to illuminate our lives today, we proclaim: thank you Lord for your Christmas!" It is also significant that you thank Faustino Zamora Vargas for his devotional and "God speaks today" for accompanying you on your spiritual walk. May this Christmas be an opportunity to celebrate the birth of Jesus and to renew our faith and gratitude towards God. Have a Merry Christmas full of love and blessings!

Dear Francisco Díaz S., thank you for sharing your beautiful Christmas memories. It's wonderful how this celebration was the happiest day of your childhood and how you looked forward to the arrival of this special time. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "The beauty of those memories surpasses all the bitterness of that misfortune of humble childhood." These experiences show us the joy and innocence that Christmas can bring. It is also significant how today you celebrate Christmas with austerity, recognizing that true joy and true spiritual joy come from God. This Christmas, may we remember and celebrate the true meaning of this holiday, which is the birth of Jesus, our Savior. May you have a Christmas full of blessings and spiritual joy! Merry Christmas to you too and to everyone.
