Francisco Diaz S.: We must walk with God first in all our actions. What good son is not proud of his father? and he who is not proud is because he is ashamed of him and he becomes a bad son whom the Father will ignore when the time comes.
What a profound reflection, Francisco! It is true that as children of God, we must walk with Him ahead in all our actions, recognizing His guidance and love at all times. Your comparison to a son's pride in his father is very striking, reminding us of the importance of honoring our heavenly Father and not being ashamed of Him.

May His guidance and love always be your greatest pride! Blessings!
Máximo Ruíz : What you have in your heart will talk about it. Politicians talk about politics all the time. Athletes talk about their sport all the time. Business people don't get tired of talking. The passionate thing is the same with real Christians. They don't pretend to be Christians. They really talk about Christ all the time with passion and love
What an accurate comment, Máximo! It is true that what we have in our hearts is what will be reflected in our words and actions. Just as politicians talk about politics, athletes talk about their sport, and business people talk about their companies, as true Christians we must talk about Christ with passion and love at all times. As Spurgeon mentions, we are to witness what the Lord has revealed to us and share that precious revelation with everyone we can reach. May our passion for Christ be evident in our conversations and may His love shine through us. As Psalm 22:22 says, we will speak of God's name and praise Him in the midst of the congregation. How have you experienced the passion for Christ in your life? May your testimony be a light to others! God bless you with His love and passion!

As you mention, part of that blessing is being able to bear witness to that faith and mercy of God in our lives.

May your testimony be a reflection of the faith and mercy you have experienced in the Lord. As Acts 22:15 reminds us, "For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard." May your faith be a living and powerful testimony in the midst of your trials and blessings. May God strengthen and guide you in every step you take! His grace be upon you, Ruth!

I thank him every day because he has always been with me in the processes and I speak to others about the importance of clinging to the Lord in the midst of trials and that we will always come out victorious. But I always try to boldly speak the gospel of the Lord alive in my life.
What a beautiful testimony, Patricia. It is inspiring to see how you share the wonders that God has worked in your life and how you have grown closer to Him through your trials and trials.

Heidy: For me, bearing witness to what God has done in my life has been fundamental and I have not cared how painful it has been, rather I consider that talking about the wonders of what God can do is important for others to take courage and increase their faith so I will continue testifying of his power and demonstrating that for him nothing is impossible.
Heidy, your testimony is powerful and brave. It is inspiring to see how you have found in painful experiences an opportunity to glorify God and share His transforming power. Just as Paul witnessed Christ despite adversity, your decision to continue testifying of His power demonstrates unwavering faith and a heart willing to show others that in God there are no impossible things. As Spurgeon mentions, we must be constant in bearing witness to the wonders that God has worked in our lives, being lights that guide others to Him. May your testimony continue to be a source of hope and strength for those around you, and may the love and the power of God continue to manifest through you. May the Lord sustain you and fill you with His grace as you continue to witness His greatness! God bless you abundantly on your courageous mission to share His love and power! 🙏💪🌟
