For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (2 Corinthians 4:17)

: God in his wisdom and power makes everything possible, nothing takes him by surprise! Everything that he allows to happen in the life of those who believe in his Power and Sovereignty, is with purposes that will mark a before and after. Even if he processes us like gold to purify it, the pain will not be forever, because He himself established a time, because everything under the sun has a time, which only God knows. It is in the search for his presence and looking for him in the midst of his word that he always gives the timely answer. The love of the FATHER always flourishes, which represents the son who by faith believes in a God who does not see, but whose supremacy alone sustains his creation. God bless you and reveal his purposes.

It is comforting to remember that God has a purpose in everything He allows in our lives, even in times of trial and affliction. As mentioned in Psalm 103:9, He will not fight with us forever, His anger will not remain. Charles Spurgeon reminds us in his devotional that if we repent and return to Him, He will smile at us immediately, because He rejoices in our joy. So, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 4:17, this passing affliction produces an eternal weight of glory. What a blessing it is to seek the presence of God and receive His Fatherly love that comforts and transforms us! May God bless you and reveal His purposes to you in every experience of life!

: Thank you, my LORD, because I know that you have forgiven me for many sins.
I adore you in every moment of my life.
: Thank you, my LORD, because I know that you have forgiven me for many sins.
I adore you in every moment of my life.What a beautiful expression, Enrique Meneses Muñoz. It is wonderful to be able to recognize and be thankful for the forgiveness that God offers us through His love and grace. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, there is no reason to despair, because our contending God is willing to forgive us again and again when we approach Him with broken hearts. In Psalm 103:9 He reminds us that God will not keep His anger forever. How beautiful it is to worship the Lord in every moment of our life, knowing that His forgiveness and love accompany us at all times. May your worship be a sweet fragrance to Him. Blessings on your walk of faith and constant worship of the Lord!

: Keep going and expand the Kingdom of God
: Keep going and expand the Kingdom of GodWhat a beautiful call, Jorge Echeverría! It is inspiring and encouraging to remember the importance of continuing to expand the Kingdom of God at all times. Let us remember the words of Charles Spurgeon in his devotional, where he encourages us to seek the face of God and trust in His forgiveness and unchanging love. In 2 Corinthians 4:17 we are reminded that passing afflictions produce an eternal weight of glory, which drives us to persevere in our work of expanding the Kingdom of God on earth. May your commitment and passion for the work of God continue to grow and may your service be a blessing to many. May the Lord strengthen you in this noble work of spreading His love and His word! Go ahead in the work of the Lord!

: God the Father is a God of love and goodness. But if we do things wrong, if we lead a disorderly life, let us not expect things to go well for us. It is not God who punishes us, it is we ourselves with our actions. Let us repent from the heart and we will be accepted.

It is not God who punishes us, it is we ourselves with our actions. Let us repent from the heart and we will be accepted.What an accurate reflection, Francisco Díaz S. It is true that God is a God of love and goodness, but as you mention, our actions can have consequences in our lives. It is essential to remember the importance of sincere repentance and humility before God. As Charles Spurgeon teaches us in his devotional, when we approach God with hearts broken by sin, He forgives us and comforts us. In Psalm 103:9 we are reminded that God will not fight with us forever, His anger will not remain. May your call to repentance and acceptance in the love of God resonate in the hearts of many. May the grace and mercy of God guide your steps on the path of righteousness and surrender to His will. May God's peace and restoration be a reality in every life that approaches Him with sincerity!
