Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth, Psalm 121:2. My help comes only from Him, at all times, in circumstances beyond my reach. It is His infinite love and mercy that moves the wind to blow in favor of those who seek Him with heart and faith, trusting that He works in favor. I believe this because I have experienced it. It is not magic; it is His power, which only God knows how to use to make everything come together in favor. Thank you, Roberto Miranda, for your contributions to understanding the immensity of God's glory. May the Lord bless you. Thank you.
