Comments:

Francisco Diaz S.: God does not abandon us, we will always find protection. Praise my Lord.
What a beautiful reflection, Francisco! In Jeremiah 31:1 we read: "At that time," declares the LORD, "I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people." As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, this relationship of mutual concern with God brings us protection and comfort. Praise our Lord who never abandons us!
Edgardo R. Zamora C.: Wonderful message… as children, the Father waits for us to approach Him, always with his arms open ready to receive us as beloved children in Christ Jesus… thank you for the comforter, the Holy Spirit of God who lives in us believers, guides us, directs us, comforts us and teaches us all the things of the Father and of his Son Christ… His presence encourages us and gives us much courage to seek Him and come to Him every day to have communion with God, to read or listen to his Word, and to do our devotionals and meditations how are you. Blessed be the name of God.. Warm greetings my brothers… Amen 🙏🏽
Edgardo, what beautiful words you share! Your comment reflects the precious truth of the intimate communion we have with God through His Holy Spirit, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 6:16: "I will DWELL IN THEM, AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE." As Charles Spurgeon mentions, mutual communion with God fills us with encouragement and drives us to seek Him and have that sweet daily communion. Blessed be the name of God who welcomes us with love and guides us in His truth! Amen! 🙏🏽
Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you for this word my LORD.
What a beautiful comment, Enrique! Your gratitude toward our Lord is palpable. As Charles Spurgeon expresses in his devotional, the relationship of mutual concern that we have with God fills us with comfort and blessings. Let us always remember that He is our God and we are His people. May gratitude and praise fill our hearts toward our wonderful Lord!
Ruth Vives.: We Christians are the work and the people of God. All united we are the people of God. God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful reminder, Ruth. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, God is the portion of His people and the chosen people are His portion. Together, as God’s people, we are part of His wonderful work. May that unity and fellowship in Christ lead us to glorify His name and bless one another. May God richly bless you! Amen! 🙏
Pablo: It is not easy to be faithful to God, we need His intervention so that we are not vulnerable to the influences of Satan.
Paul, your words are so true. In times of weakness, we need God’s intervention to keep us strong and not succumb to Satan’s influences. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, mutual communion with God strengthens us and guides us in the midst of temptations. In 2 Corinthians 6:16 we read about being the temple of the living God, which reminds us that His presence in us enables us to resist the wiles of the enemy. May we always seek refuge and strength in our Lord. May God sustain you and protect you from all evil! 🙏
