Cross Reference

Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:20)

: Although I am not a mother, during my time working as a teacher, I would tell students that I had to deal with emotional behaviors resulting from family conflicts. I would emphasize the role of parents, because they are not born with the title of parents, they learn from day to day experience, however the value of love for their children makes them stand out, no matter how bad they are. This topic in today's devotional is profound. God knew how to give the gift of being a mother or father, as the case may be. Truly, God is perfect in everything.
If it were not for man's stubbornness in seeking God at an early age as it is written, the world would be a different reality. Only God helps us through his Holy Spirit to not miss eternal life.

What a comfort to know that we have a loving heavenly Father who forgives and restores us! Thank you for sharing your reflection!

Moises Mora 
: As a father I have been able to row this boat even with imperfections and I continue to the goal. There is a letter that says that the past does not forgive and that we should heal ourselves by crying, today I say that by his wounds we were healed, and that what happened in the past are old things and today they are all new, and our faithful friend continues telling us to go and not sin anymore, that's all, and the rest depends on each one of us to make an effort and be very, very brave, because we are not alone in this beautiful matter.

Moises Mora : We are not alone in this matter, today I remember an old letter that said that the past does not forgive and that we heal ourselves by crying, and today I can say that by His wounds we were healed and forgiven, and that as parents we are not perfect we steer the boat in the right direction for our children and that sometimes we fail we deviate the course of what our Lord has left us through His word so as not to have contumacious children, and today I can say that He forgives the past as the present and that today all things are made new, today my son is an adult he is studying and I am not saying it but my family and friends who are not yet believers the educated helper giver and more fruits what are some things and more that I can only say, and tell the Lord thank you a thousand thanks, because outside of Him it would not have been like this because of my past without Him.

Sabino Marroquin Lopez: Since I read the Holy Bible, I met GOD who has performed so many miracles for me, saving my life and that of my children on many occasions. I think that those who have not read the Bible do not know the Lord. Thank God, my God, amen.
