IT ALL STARTS WITH LOVE

DEDICATION OF THIS BOOK

Psalm 90:17 MSG 17 

“17 May the favor[a] of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.” 

This book belongs to Father Almighty. It is dedicated to him and his glory. He gives you Love, Faith, Fortitude, and Peace. Such unconditional love. It is so beautiful when grace touches your soul and you see people smile, so touched in your and their heart and through him given peace and love. An immense wonder providing freedom. I am just a server, an instrument of Father Almighty that served for many nights to write and was motivated to share the blessings that he has given in my life and in place in others in wonderful ways. I thank Him for filling us every day with love, compassion, and understanding. Giving and filling us with His blessings and taking care of us every second of our lives. 

I dedicate this book to my children Nicholas Ortiz Marin and Paul Ortiz Marin. This whole project started with an impulse that said Mom, you should write a book on how God has saved you in many circumstances. How he has changed your life, it is then when I started. It is interesting that Father Almighty touches those who are important to your heart so you can be pushed to lose your fear and start. 

This book is also dedicated to my aunt Guillermina “Willie” Santana today I miss you even more. You are the light that God has placed you as my guardian angel in my life that guides my soul to be better. The strength that shows that you can beat time no matter what is there to find. You are the spirit of life that unifies who we are and maintains our family as strong as it can be. The sun that will always shine because you always shine when we speak about you, memories last forever! I will always love you. Our love is eternal. 

To my parents, my brother, and all my beloved family who have preached throughout the time of each writing, confirming messages, and pushing more every day. To my friends, friends of friends, even those I don’t even know but who have always been there every second of the hard times and pushed for higher and better ground, always hoping for more without giving up and praying more and more.

Moments of thankfulness, Kindness and Blessed moments. 

There is so much in kindness, love and patience, It is so important to recognize the people who help you, how they strive to help you and make your company, that they represent as if it was theirs, team work. I find that fascinating, you have to love what you do. It is beautiful to see how people can be nice, be kind, even though circumstances may be different, or they may be going through their own circumstances, it does not change their attention. Just love the patience that people have. It’s in the patience that one can see the heart of others. Anyways, just a moment of Love 

I write 

because 

I have no fear 

of what they have to say 

or hear 

I write 

because 

somewhere down the road 

someone will be here 

the pledges 

that 

is to fear 

I write 

because 

there is hope 

that

some day 

someone will cope 

with their inner fears 

and it will 

surpass with spears 

to find 

a bright light 

I write 

because of me.  

“I dedicate this book to believers and non-believers”. – Loved this from a tiny book by Phil Bosman-God is incredible! And it says: 

I understand those who do not believe. -I have many friends who are aware of not believing in God and who are great people. They have thought about it and provided compelling reasons when they explain why they do not believe in God. It is impossible for them to accept the God that was offered to them. It is impossible for them to reconcile pain, misery, and as much wickedness as there is in the world, with faith in a benevolent and caring God. Some believe that faith in God stands in the way of man’s freedom, thus hindering development. human. All respect and all consideration for these good people, but non-believers who are open to the great mystery of human life and who move in the magnetic field of great love for men. 

The Spirit of God blows his wind where he wants! 

Believers and non-believers should have great respect for each other. They should not dispute the existence of God with each other. In the same way that believers cannot provide definitive proof of the existence of God, neither do non-believers have the decisive argument that he does not exist. 

Whether they believe it or not, they are all people, little people, who inhabit a village called Earth. Believe it or not, they eat the same bread and breathe the same air. They enjoy the same sun and the same rain. and when they fall in love, they all become equally blind. They travel the same paths and are mortified by the same questions. 

When they meet at the same crossroads, they should not dispute the 

way forward without being open to each other. They must become friends and wish each other a good trip and continue searching together for the mysterious meaning of everything that lives and breathes. 

Believers and non-believers are much closer to each other than they themselves think intolerance is the worst thing that can happen to them. Religious fanaticism: of all fanaticisms the most fanatic and unbelieving. 

The gospel. – In that book, we have described the humanism of God. It is a message that provides incredible joy. The most human and most divine message that faces all existing ideologies. 

It is the most humane message because it does not force anyone to stay on the left. No one is challenged or expelled. There is so much understanding, kindness, and sympathy towards the weak and sinful, and people who cannot get ahead. In this way, anyone can feel at home. 

The most divine message because there is no one who can calculate its dimensions, the width, the height, and the depth that it has, whoever has entered it once with faith, finds so much light, so much joy, so much life, that he will notice it with all the fibers of his being although it is impossible to 

explain with words. 

This is the message: That the world can be saved. If the gospel did not exist, it would have to be invented, if possible, to make men happy, not “whenever” but here and now in this town called Earth. 

That gospel does not contain doctrines, dogmas, or philosophies. It’s life”. Here is not a thing, a memory, a past image, or a chimera; what he finds is a person, someone who truly lives and whose presence can be noticed by those who love him. 

From the outside there is no one who can make an appropriate judgment. Experience says that you have to live it in body and soul. Otherwise, it is nothing more than a cold, foreign object, and we cannot understand anything. For whom God is only a phantasmagoria and men are only a determined structure of atoms and molecules, the gospel will contain a handful of beautiful ideas. But the authentic message will be forbidden. 

To those who have faith, the gospel gives a difficult but clear answer to the question of the deepest meaning of life. And about what it means to “be a person” and “live with others.” A neat answer to the question: How can so many people coexist? How could it end wars, enmities, and violence? The gospel of love is still the gospel of nonsense because its argument is love that is not light at all. That is marked by the sign of the cross, which chooses that love, renounces 

his powers, and puts him in the last place at the service of others. 

The sign of Christianity is found wherever love becomes visible, palpable, and tangible in a human body, in a heart. In a gesture of the hands, in a few steps, when hearing or saying a few words, and in the light of the eyes. An explosion of God’s love amid a world marked by insecurity, violence, and hatred. It is a living denunciation of the blind of these times, which only have eyes for the world and its vanities, and not for what they need. An example is Mother Teresa of Calcutta. The sign of Christianity comes out in countless little silent people, who in any part of the world are committed to peace and the well-being of their neighbor whom they have trampled on.
