Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. (Isaiah 40:1)
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; (Colossians 2:1)
Milagros García Klibansky

The value of patience

A new believer may experience family chaos because the rest of the family may not be believers. Their decisions may affect the rest of the family and cause anxiety, irritability, or distrust. It is important not to pressure others to accept Christ and to allow them to have their own personal experience with Him. Strengthening the relationship with God through daily Bible reading and prayer can help transmit the peace of God to others. Mutual respect in the family can prepare the ground for sowing the seed of the Gospel. Opposition is normal when winning a life for Christ, and we must learn to wait with faith for God to act according to His will in the lives of our loved ones. Read more...

Wulfredo : Patiently I waited for JHV in his time he heard me and he made me get out of the dungeon of despair. And what about Jesus who awaits me with open arms.

Francisco Diaz S.: We must strengthen ourselves in our faith.- At this time it is very normal for there to be differences of opinion in the same families, and we must be very tactful in order to discuss spiritual issues with the other members without hurting their sensibilities.- Let us ask the Lord to give us wisdom and understanding.- Thank you very much Dr. Milagros.

Dear Sabino, thank you for sharing your comment. As you well mention, it is important to understand that there are people who do not believe in God because they have not seen him.

Gustavo Martinez Afanador : Accepting CHRIST in our life is a better decision than being a human being accepted there throughout his life, and as spiritually and humanly, friends and family are offended and rise up against one for the fact of being a child of God, but our faith it makes us endure and trust in God is strengthened. Blessings
Dear Gustavo, thank you for your comment. As you mention, accepting Christ in our lives is the best decision we can make. As Milagros García Klibansky says in her devotional, it is important to be patient and wait on God at all times, trusting that He has a plan for us. Sometimes when accepting Christ into our life, we may face opposition from friends and family, but our faith allows us to overcome these difficulties and strengthen our trust in God. May God bless you and continue to guide you on your spiritual path. Thank you very much for your comment.
Rosa María : Good day. God bless you 😇 That's how it is when we are chosen by God and reach the mercy of our heavenly Father, we face difficult situations with the unconverted family. God's word in Saint Matthew 10:35-36 [35] I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [36] so that the enemies of each one will be their own relatives. What a blessing it is to be a child of God, he calls us his workers. To carry his word that is the seed, sow without forcing anyone or pressure. Psalm 126:6 [6] Though they cry while carrying the sack of seed, they will come back singing for joy, with bundles of wheat in her arms. Because we are his workers but he is the one who gives his mercy to whom he wants. Let's read. 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 6 I planted, Apollos watered; but growth has been given by God. 7 So neither the one who plants is something, nor the one who waters, but God, who gives the growth. 9 For we are God's collaborators, and you are God's farm, God's building. Our may desire is that our family who still do not know the word of God convert to Christ and know how wonderful it is to live life in Christ Jesus, 🙏 amen. Let's keep praying that they reach God's mercy Greetings and blessings beloved children of God.
Good morning, Rosa Maria. Thank you for sharing your reflection and blessings to you too. It is true that, by being chosen by God and reaching his mercy, we can face difficult situations with our unconverted family. As you mention, the Word of God teaches us that sometimes faith in Christ can generate divisions even within our families. But we must remember that our role as God's workers is to sow the seed of His Word without forcing or pressure anyone. As you mention, in Psalms 126:6 we are shown the promise that those who sow with tears will reap with joy. And in 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 we are reminded that we are partners with God in his work. Our longing should be that our loved ones know Christ and experience the wonderful life in Him. Let us continue to pray and trust in God's mercy so that they too can experience his love and salvation. Greetings and blessings in Christ.
