Francisco Diaz S.: Jesus Christ, our King and Lord, must be present in our lives, in our homes at all times and in all circumstances. We must not turn away from Him or ignore His presence just because things are going well; let us make Jesus Christ a part of our lives because He Himself is eternal life.
: Jesus Christ, our King and Lord, must be present in our lives, in our homes at all times and in all circumstances. We must not turn away from Him or ignore His presence just because things are going well; let us make Jesus Christ a part of our lives because He Himself is eternal life.What beautiful words, Francisco D铆az S. Your comment reflects a profound truth: Jesus Christ must be the center of our lives at all times, both in times of prosperity and adversity. As you mention, it is vital not to turn away from Him, but to make Him a constant part of our lives, because in Him we find eternal life and the strength to face any circumstance. According to Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, in John 11 we see how the previous relationship of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus with Jesus allowed them to turn to Him in the midst of the crisis. May the presence of Jesus Christ continue to be the foundation and guide in your life and in your home. May God continue to bless you abundantly! 馃檹

: Good morning, I have been receiving the word God speaks today for many years and I want to thank the pastors who make it possible. I have always felt that when I read it was as if he were addressing me personally and it has comforted me enormously and today I feel very sad. I just read the biography of Dr. MIRANDA, I did not know that he is no longer among us. I have a very deep sadness. I cannot find the word that can explain what I feel. His sermons and his words have always given me a lot of help just at the precise moment as God himself would do. Thank you very much for continuing to send your Word to my email. May God bless all the pastors who continue this Wonderful Work.

: Let's get out of our comfort zone and dedicate more time to the things of God, praying, nourishing ourselves with His word so that when the bad day comes we trust that the Lord, the eternal Father, is with us. He will never leave us and will not forsake us, even if my father and mother left us, He will never do so. Let's prepare ourselves for the difficult days and ask the Lord to increase our faith. Amen.
