: We are immersed in this world but our stay is not eternal, it is temporary so we should not cultivate the things of the world because they remain in the world. - Let us cultivate the things of God, sanctify our spirit, keep our soul clean and our conscience clear and thus we will inherit eternal life. - Let us glorify the Lord

: God's infinite love for His creation and the continual search for His presence renew our minds, as Romans 12:2 contemplates. It is vital to avoid giving in to the madness of this world, which only brings suffering and hardship, for being far from God's presence and His path. I thank God for helping me and strengthening me in the midst of all adversity, and for not letting myself be carried away by what I see, because the world does not save. Only the Lord saves us. The Holy One of Israel.
God bless you.
