IT ALL START WITH LOVE

Successfully Submitted To My Heavenly Father’s Power and Light: Just and Merciful Pt 2

It’s really not like me to get sick—but then again, who does enjoy it? Thankfully, I’m finally feeling better. I came down with a terrible flu that brought all kinds of symptoms and lingered for over a week. Still, I feel blessed—because I know God always has a reason to slow us down, to give us rest.

In these past couple of days, I’ve had some truly beautiful conversations. One of them helped me understand how media works and how passion can drive someone to achieve their dreams. It went beyond just the material—into the spiritual—where you can see how awesome God is and how deeply He touches people’s hearts. The beauty of His works can truly leave you breathless. Sometimes, no matter how much we read, listen, or observe, we can’t fully understand until we feelit—until we look into someone’s eyes and truly see it.

Yesterday, I sat down with a gentleman and his friend, and we spoke about our spiritual journeys. At one point, someone asked, “What is your religion?” I felt like I was writing an autobiography. I said, “Well, I was raised Catholic, but today, I’m a Christian.” Then I added, “But this isn’t about religion—it’s about God, our Father Almighty, about Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” We ended up sharing testimonies and talking about powerful, supernatural moments. It was a beautiful conversation.

I love God with all my heart. He always has a way of orchestrating the right moments—whether He calls you to act, to speak, or simply to be still and listen. This week, the words that keep resonating with me are Loyalty, Truth, and Trust.

According to BibleDictionaryInfo:

  • Loyalty means being trustworthy in honoring commitments and obligations, shown through respect, support, and love.
  • Truth is whatever aligns with the way God created the world. Falsehood is anything that goes against His reality—even if it seems to “exist” in this fallen world. Truth is more than just facts; it’s knowledge of what is right in God’s eyes.
  • Trust means believing in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of something. When it comes to God, it means believing in His reliability, His Word, His power, and His promises. The Bible says God cannot lie. He always keeps His promises.

When I bring all this together, I see a deep spiritual truth:

Being trustworthy to honor commitments through love and respect, living in accordance with God’s reality rather than this broken world, and trusting fully in His unchanging Word and strength—that’s the life we’re called to live.

There are times when God creates special moments for us—down to every word, every detail. I had some meaningful conversations this week with friends from Ecuador. On Sunday, I listened to Passion City Church, and today, to Lakewood Church’s message on never doubting God’s power. Both were strong confirmations of things I’d been feeling, especially after speaking with a friend.

Sometimes it’s hard to leave things behind—like a relationship or complicated family dynamics. We don’t always understand what God is doing. But what I do know is that His might surpasses everything. He uses circumstances to draw families together, to help us seek Him—not the world—and to prepare us for something greater. Sometimes we need to take a step back so we can see clearly. Let ourselves be immersed in that waterfall of grace, soaking in all the goodness He pours over us.

Joel Osteen reminded me today that God has the mighty power to turn around all circumstances. My sister in Christ, Alice, says, “Peace is a science we must learn to master.” I agree. Peace is not passive; it’s something we cultivate. I also listened to Louie Giglio speak about marriage and guiding youth—it’s a needed message. Never doubt that God has divine connections for every person.

That was the theme of today’s conversation: God restores, He arranges, and He carries us in the palm of His hand. There are no limits to what He can do for each of us.

I’ve never doubted God’s love. Yes, some situations are good and others aren’t—but I always feel that The Almighty Lawwalks beside me.

Today, while I was working and organizing my books, I came across one of my own. It had pages marked—230, 231, and later 227 to 229. A bookmark read “Building Together.” The highlighted words spoke clearly to my heart.

Isaiah 60:1

Isaiah 60:1 NIV  The Glory of Zion

60 

“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

Luke 11:33-36 NIV  The Lamp of the Body

33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[a] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[b] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

Isaiah 60:1-7 MSG  People Returning for the Reunion

60 

1-7 “Get out of bed, Jerusalem!
    Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight.
    God’s bright glory has risen for you.
The whole earth is wrapped in darkness,
    all people sunk in deep darkness,
But God rises on you,
    his sunrise glory breaks over you.
Nations will come to your light,
    kings to your sunburst brightness.
Look up! Look around!
    Watch as they gather, watch as they approach you:
Your sons coming from great distances,
    your daughters carried by their nannies.
When you see them coming you’ll smile—big smiles!
    Your heart will swell and, yes, burst!
All those people returning by sea for the reunion,
    a rich harvest of exiles gathered in from the nations!
And then streams of camel caravans as far as the eye can see,
    young camels of nomads in Midian and Ephah,
Pouring in from the south from Sheba,
    loaded with gold and frankincense,
    preaching the praises of God.
And yes, a great roundup
    of flocks from the nomads in Kedar and Nebaioth,
Welcome gifts for worship at my altar
    as I bathe my glorious Temple in splendor.

Psalm 15:2-5 NIV

The one whose walk is blameless,
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth from their heart;

whose tongue utters no slander,
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;

who despises a vile person
    but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;

who lends money to the poor without interest;
    who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.

3 John 1:3-7 NIV

3 It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a] even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.

3 John 11-15 NIV

11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

13 I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink.14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.

15 Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.

Jeremiah 3:15 KJV

15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Revelations 2:7 KJV

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Revelation 3:7-8 KJV

7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Revelation 22:1-5 KJV

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Psalm 8:3-9 KJV 

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 18:46-50 NIV 

46 

The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
    Exalted be God my Savior!

47 

He is the God who avenges me,
    who subdues nations under me,

48 

    who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man you rescued me.

49 

Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing the praises of your name.

50 

He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
    to David and to his descendants forever.

Psalm 18:1-2 NIV Psalm 18[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

I love you, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

    my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.

Today has been a day full of books! I especially loved this one, which was marked beautifully. His messages are truly a privilege. Our Father Almighty has a message for everyone, no matter how He delivers it. He brings it to your heart for your comfort—so you may find peace and not walk in shame or guilt.

When your loved ones depart from this place we call home to go to a greater home, God allows their souls to visit when you are feeling untested and restless, when your heart finds no comfort. This is so you may find peace and rest, knowing they are in Heaven with Him. He even allows some to come forward as your guardian angels.

Such is the beauty of our Father, who art in Heaven! As it says in Matthew 6:9-13:
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Our Father in Heaven will let you feel, dream, and even receive visions in the days to come. You may experience doubts, but He will open an opportunity for you—especially if you have been asking—so you may confirm and feel the presence of your loved ones. Through your prayers, five generations are saved, and you may confirm this truth.

Hereby the Poem from a little book called “Aire Puro para el Amor y la Amistad

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LOVE?

One of the main flaws in our human relationships is “LOVING FALSELY”; that is, trying to “LOVE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.” We must love our neighbor.

And to truly LOVE, we must know. And knowing is understanding. And understanding is understanding the other and coming to an understanding with them…THAT it is LOVE.

Without understanding, LOVE is not legitimate.

TO LOVE is to give of oneself, to lose oneself, to step completely outside of oneself.

TO LOVE is to totally sacrifice our being; that is why only GOD, with his incomprehensible beauty, can completely take us away.

TO LOVE is to give of oneself, in purity and sincerity; one does not give, but rather tears away everything, takes everything from us to give everything, takes everything with pain…does this not contain an exquisite charm?

TO LOVE is to give oneself completely, unconditionally, for an immense oblation that encompasses, through its full acceptance, the will of the beloved.

TO LOVE is to be aware of every moment, to give one by one all the drops of blood, all the thoughts of the spirit, all the beats of the heart, all the moments of life.

TO LOVE is to suffer, to be crucified for the Father, but there is a great difference between suffering and knowing how to suffer. To know how to LOVE, one must learn to suffer.

True LOVE consists of: LOVING without interest and without compensation; it is

LOVING without satisfaction, even if it were not reciprocated; it is

LOVING despite everything and even without reason;

TO LOVE sincerely is to be ahead of the curve in affection and kindness; it is LOVING first, greeting those who do not greet you, smiling at those who dislike you, who bother you, and who annoy you.

The most powerful MADNESS OF LOVE was given to us by CHRIST, for his shed blood is like the cement that binds the covenant between GOD and humanity.

If JESUS ​​CHRIST had refused to suffer, he would have gone down in history as a fraud; no one would have believed him.

It was He who taught that TRUE LOVE endures all things, forgives all things, conceals all things, covers up all things, endures all things, keeps quiet about all things, suffers all things, forgets all things.

TRUE LOVE never resists, holds no grudges, is not vengeful, takes advantage of, or causes suffering.

It is impossible to simulate LOVE unless it comes from the heart, because if it is sincere, it breathes through the pores, and even the blind perceive it. TRUE LOVE stands out for its sweetness and speaks frankly, prefers humility and is never impatient.

TRUE LOVE judges prudently, likes righteousness, attends to hardships and inclines to mercy, seeks the truth and lends itself with sincerity.

WHOEVER SET LIMITS ON THEIR LOVE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO LOVE
