Pastoral letter to the virtual community

Greetings, my beloved brothers of God Speak Today. I declare the richest blessings of God on their lives. Every day I rejoice reading your comments on how God is blessing your lives with the meditations that we produce through our page. It is a true privilege to serve God's people and know that our efforts are not in vain.

One of the things we regret in our God Speaks Today ministry is not having the staff or resources to be able to respond personally to each of your comments or prayer requests. May the Lord hope that over time we develop the financial resources to add people who can respond to the questions and requests for counseling that you submit to us each day.

Remember, however, that this is your page, your virtual community where, through the Internet, you can shepherd and minister to one another with the wisdom that the Holy Spirit gives to your people.

I love to see how some siblings through their comments take responsibility for responding to a grieving mother, a person new to faith, or someone struggling with resentment, depression or loneliness.

You are the Body of Jesus Christ, united by the Head that is Christ, united by the Holy Spirit through different nations and continents.

I continue to encourage you to use the comments section to bless each other, to become pastors that God uses to heal wounds, encourage the struggling, counsel the perplexed, pray for the suffering.

Through your comments you can put into practice the gifts that God has placed in your lives. They can be developed in the gift of prayer, counseling, or teaching.

Gifts develop with use. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the wisdom and ability to develop a true virtual congregation where all the gifts of the Kingdom of God are in evidence.

Let's keep in touch. In the near future I will be sharing with you more about this important topic.

A big hug to my brother shepherds and shepherds of God Speaks Today.

Lovingly,

Roberto Miranda
