Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : By clinging to GOD I have security and protection. How wonderful to know me like this.
What a beautiful testimony, Enrique. Truly, by clinging to God, we find safety and protection in his fatherly embrace. As Milagros García Klibansky mentions in her devotional, He is always by our side, patiently waiting for us to approach his loving embrace. As Isaiah 49:15 says, even if a mother forgets her child, God will never forget us, he is always ready to receive us in his embrace, to heal our wounds, wash us and clothe us with his unconditional love. In Luke 15:20, we see how the father runs to receive his prodigal son with great love and compassion. What a beautiful image of God's love for us!
Wulfredo : The love of God the father that he gave his son is so great. To redeem humanity from sin. And reconcile with us like a good father. abba father
That's right, Wolfredo. God's love is so great that he gave his son so that we could all be redeemed from sin and reconcile with him as a good father. As Milagros García Klibansky mentions in her devotional, God always has his arms open to receive us, regardless of the circumstances or the failures of the past. As Luke 15:20 says, the father runs to embrace his prodigal son with great love and compassion, demonstrating his unconditional love for us. And as you say, we can call God Abba Father, which means that we can approach Him with confidence and certainty that he loves us and is willing to embrace us as his beloved children.
Francisco Diaz S.: In God is our refuge.- Thank you Pastora Milagros for your beautiful message
Thank you for your comment, Francis. As Psalm 91:2 rightly says, in God we find our refuge, our strength and our protection in times of difficulty. He is always there to reach out and comfort us in his love. Milagros García Klibansky reminds us in her devotional that, even in the midst of pain and adversity, we can find comfort and hope in the loving embrace of our heavenly Father. A truly inspiring and encouraging message.
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : We must go through many difficulties and tests and many are surprised by the struggles and he was neglected, God sees his attitude with the desire in his heart to seek God, he does not look at his background but at a breaking heart with the desire to change. Blessings
Amen Gustavo! As you mention, in our lives we may face many difficulties and trials, but the important thing is that we always keep our hearts and attitudes focused on seeking God and changing. As Milagros García Klibansky says in her devotional, our heavenly Father is always ready to receive us in his loving embrace, regardless of our background or past failures. And as you say, what really matters is having a broken heart and a sincere desire to change and get closer to Him. May God bless you always.
