Comments:

Oscar Rodríguez : Amen, let us help those most in need.
Thank you for your comment, Oscar! It's important to remember that faith must be accompanied by actions, as the verse in James 2:14 reminds us. Dr. Roberto Miranda also emphasizes the importance of turning our visions into concrete actions. As you mention, it's essential to help those most in need, thus demonstrating our faith through our actions. Let's continue to act with diligence and generosity!
Efigenia Vidal : It's not enough just to believe; we must demonstrate through our actions that He, who dwells within me, is powerful in battle, and instructs me through the Holy Spirit to strengthen my faith amidst all the circumstances that come into our lives. The Word warns me that we will have afflictions, but in His infinite love, God promises to help us emerge from them, because there are purposes to fulfill in each of us. Therefore, we must work on spiritual growth day by day, because it is the foundation for following in obedience the word that God has demanded. My work of faith is about to come; only God will say the day and the hour. It will allow others to put their trust in God, because He works in both the will and the action, according to our measure of faith, because He shows no partiality. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your reflections, Efigenia! Your words reflect the importance of not only believing, but also demonstrating our faith through concrete actions, just as the Bible exhorts us in James 2:14.

What a beautiful comment, Francisco. I agree with you that it is essential to seek God's help to overcome our difficulties and achieve our goals, but it is also essential to remember that we must actively work to achieve them.
