Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Praise the name of the Lord, it is Holy. The reflection of the devotional highlights the value of being a believer and a child of God, given the responsibility assigned by the Eternal Father to his children to be good stewards on earth of the fruit that comes from raising a family, where the values of faith and the formation of the word of good fruits, in honesty first of all in our conscience because there is a God who sees everything, and the fruits that are brought speak louder than words. It is of great importance to be a believer and to walk in righteousness before our Lord. God bless you.
What a beautiful reflection, Efigenia Vidal! Truly, Charles Spurgeon's devotional reminds us of the importance of living in integrity before God, since our holy life and example of righteousness can be instruments of blessing for our families and future generations. As mentioned in Proverbs 20:7, "The righteous walk in his integrity; how blessed are his children after him!" It is also relevant to remember what 2 Corinthians 1:12 says, that our testimony of sincerity and holiness, fruit of God's grace, is what truly matters. As you mention, the fruits we produce as believers speak louder than words. May we follow the example of integrity and faith that the Word of God shows us and the teaching of authors like Charles Spurgeon. May God richly bless you in your walk of faith and righteousness!
Oscar Rodríguez : Amen.

Francisco Diaz S.: Families are the foundation and support of society. If we have healthy families, society will be healthy. If we have families with conflicts and bad behavior, our society will be corrupt and quarrelsome. Our Christian families must be an example of a great society with good principles and fair behavior.
What a profound truth, Francisco Diaz S.! The importance of having healthy families founded on solid principles is crucial for the stability and well-being of society as a whole. As you mention, Christian families have the responsibility and the calling to be examples of righteousness, love and justice in the world, reflecting the values of the Kingdom of God in their actions and relationships. May we be lights in the midst of darkness and bring hope and transformation to our surroundings through the positive influence of our families. God bless you in this beautiful work!
Ruth Vives.: Honesty and integrity are important values that we cultivate as good Christians. These will help us to be in tune and in understanding with the (Bible) and the Holy Scriptures. Also, to respect and follow the commandments that dwell in it. In addition, to be with our brothers together according to the preaching of the gospel. God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful comment, Ruth Vives! Indeed, honesty and integrity are fundamental values for every believer, as they help us reflect the nature of God and live in coherence with His Word. Following the biblical commandments and walking in unity with our brothers in faith are essential aspects of our Christian life, as you mention. May we be faithful in cultivating these values in our daily lives, allowing integrity and honesty to be distinctive marks of our walk with Christ. May the Lord enable us to live according to His will and to be a witness of His love and grace in this needy world. God richly bless you, Ruth Vives! Amen!
