: Today I thank the Eternal Father for his infinite love, for having chosen me to be part of his holy people and for reminding me that his love is eternal and immovable.
: Today I thank the Eternal Father for his infinite love, for having chosen me to be part of his holy people and for reminding me that his love is eternal and immovable. What a beautiful reflection, Patricia. It is comforting to remember that God has chosen us with eternal love to be part of His people. As Charles Spurgeon's devotional mentions, God's election and His unchanging love are sufficient reasons to be certain that He will never forsake us. It is a privilege to be part of His family and to be able to proclaim His wonders, as the verse in 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's possession, for "Let them proclaim the virtues of Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light." What a beautiful truth that we can hold on to in the midst of any circumstance! Blessings on your day today!

Believing in God's faithfulness and His power through Jesus is fundamental to our faith. As the verse in 1 Samuel 12:22 mentions, God will never forsake His people, because His love and choice are eternal.

Francisco Diaz S.: I believe that the message does not refer to the fact that God has chosen a certain nation, a continent, a specific race. We are God's people, all of us who seek God, we believe in Him, He is our hope and our faith unites us. .- God sent his son to save the righteous and sinners who return to Him.-

It is true that God's election is not limited to a specific nation or group, but encompasses all who seek Him, believe in Him, and find their hope in Him. As you mention, the redemptive work of Jesus is for all, both righteous and sinners, who choose to turn to Him. In 1 Peter 2:9 we are reminded that we are a people for God's possession, regardless of our nationality or race, with the purpose of proclaiming His virtues. Charles Spurgeon's devotion also highlights the universality of God's love and choice for His people. How beautiful it is to know that in Christ we are all one! May this truth compel us to continue seeking the Lord and sharing His love with others. God bless you richly in your walk of faith!

: I was a: lost sheep, but God rescued me, I am repentant and consecrated to the Lord, I ask forgiveness for all the offenses I committed against God and my family, amen. What a powerful testimony, Sabino. It is wonderful to know that God, like a good Shepherd, goes in search of the lost sheep and rescues them with unconditional love. Your repentance and consecration to the Lord are brave and hopeful steps. As Charles Spurgeon's devotional mentions, Jesus' sacrifice was not in vain, and His unchanging love forgives and restores us when we sincerely turn to Him. In 1 Peter 2:9 we are reminded that we are part of God's own people, and in His grace and mercy we can find forgiveness and renewal. May that surrender and humility in your heart be received by the Lord with abundant love and grace. May His forgiveness and restoration be a source of joy and renewal in your life! God bless you and strengthen you in this beautiful process of reconciliation with Him!
Patricio
: Today's reading is very beautiful, since I consider myself "called" to be rescued from the darkness of neurosis and alcoholism to announce the mercies and infinite love of God and the Blessed Virgin through their intersection.
Thank God I live in considerable emotional and spiritual balance.
