What do you have that I don't?

The author shares a personal experience of sharing the Gospel with a friend who eventually converted to Christianity. The author emphasizes the importance of sowing the seed of the Gospel and loving our neighbors as ourselves. The Gospel is a message of love for those in the world who are lost, and it is our responsibility as Christians to share it with others. If each Christian made it their mission to share the Good News, the world would be a different place. Read more...

Comments:

Francisco Diaz S.: There are countless people in the world burdened by the burden of their faults and mistakes, many cloaked in a certain religious image that they themselves don't understand and no one can explain to them. All these people have not found the path to redemption; they have not heard the call of Jesus who awaits us with open arms. It is our duty to show them the path of truth and life. Let's get to work.
What you share is true, Francisco. Many people have yet to experience the redeeming love of Jesus and are lost amid their faults and mistakes. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it is crucial that we, as Christians, take courage and share the Good News with those around us, regardless of the immediate results. In Deuteronomy 6:5, we are urged to love the Lord with all our being, and in 1 John 3:18, we are reminded that our love must be demonstrated not only with words, but with deeds. Let us follow Jesus' example, showing the way of truth and life to those who have not yet found it. Let's get to work, as you rightly say!
Ruth Vives.: It's important to sincerely appreciate our brothers and sisters, as God loves us with a pure soul. Let's love our neighbor as God himself. God bless you! Amen.
What a beautiful message, Ruth. It's essential to remember the commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas teaches us in his devotional. In 1 John 3:18, we are urged to love not only in word, but in deeds and in truth, demonstrating genuine and sincere love for our brothers and sisters. Let us always remember the immense love with which God loves us and try to reflect that love in our daily interactions. God bless you! Amen.
Martha Adames de Alfaro : We always tell ourselves that we are good Christians and that we love others, but when we are faced with a situation in which we must support other people, we look the other way. Our Father is always watching us, so that we always do good.
Martha, what you share is a very insightful reflection. We often consider ourselves good Christians and claim to love others, but it's in our everyday actions that we truly demonstrate our love and kindness. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it's important to be courageous and share the Gospel boldly, regardless of the circumstances. Let us always remember that our heavenly Father is attentive to our actions and calls us to follow his example, doing good and showing love to our fellow human beings. May God give us the strength to act according to his teachings. Blessings! 🙏
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: God is my true love amen.
What a beautiful statement, Sabino. Just as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, God's love is the purest and truest. In 1 John 3:18, we are reminded to love not only in word but also in deed and in truth. May we continue to seek to reflect that genuine love of God in everything we do, showing compassion and kindness to those around us. May God bless you! Amen.
