My Holy, Almighty God, Your grace is to us like nourishment that restores our strength. Only in Your presence do we have the energy that animates us, filling us with life.

Your purposes are good and Your plan is infallible. We are fortunate to have the infinite grace that is Your true and everlasting love.

The divine fruits of Your glory speak for You and proclaim the mysteries of our redemption.

As exemplified in the conduct of our Lord Jesus Christ, surrender and service to Your love purify and renew us. Your infinite mercy grants us the forgiveness that makes our redemption possible.

In divine love we find everything we need.

May our God be exalted and glorified, for from Him comes the love that brings our salvation.

Love must be constant. Love is all that we need: the all-encompassing love of the Lord.

This alone is what we live for: to expand ourselves in love. Everything else is illusory, everything else is impermanent. The only constant that prevails is love.

The breath that gives us life is God’s infinite love for us. There is no life without the love of God. We are infinitely loved and valued by our eternal Father.

There is nothing in the world that can replace a good father and, truly, there is nothing in the universe that can replace the Heavenly Father.

We live with love and we shall know the truth, for in God is everything. God contains everything. To be close to God is to be close to all creation, with neither time nor distance able to separate us from everything, for in God we are one.

One single force: infinite images, similar reflections, all united through the manifestation of love.

Every day, we have the opportunity to communicate with God. We need only meditate on His greatness, and the voice of truth will guide you.

Nothing is impossible for God. God is always present, always available. All that God wants from us is our love, nothing more. Everything becomes a detail in light of this.

Love is the language of God. It is through love that God expresses Himself, through love that God is stirred, through love that God fills Himself with life.

The greatest obstacle is not being able to communicate, but rather being willing to do so. In this world, many live in constant distraction and do not allow themselves to hear what God wants to tell us.

Today, more than ever, God tells us: “Listen! Those who have ears, let them hear!”

Our entire life is built upon our focus, and the enemy wants us to be careless with our attention.

Do not allow the world to dictate what you should look at, but rather cultivate the strength of your own personal choice regarding what is truly important to you.

Stay away from pride as you would stay away from the deadly plague that ravages through the dark night, for, truly, pride is far deadlier than any suffering that may exist upon the Earth.

Do not become vain because of praise, nor diminish yourself because of the offenses of the world, for your worth does not lie, and never has lain, in how the world judges you, but rather in how the Father who is in heaven sees you.

Remain vigilant, so that pride may not arise from praise. Be humble as Christ was.

For, truly, the one who makes himself greater shall be as lesser in the Kingdom of God, and the one who makes himself as lesser shall be as greater in the Kingdom of God.

Pride is the most dangerous sin on Earth because, from pride, distortion arises and completely prevents us from seeing the truth. When our spirit is filled with pride, we feel that we are better than and superior to our brothers and sisters, that we are self-sufficient, independent, and that everything we need is found within ourselves, but we forget that, without God, we are nothing.

Pride creates the false need to maintain an appearance, to maintain an identity that is not real—the idea that we are better and do not need help. It is in this posture that the proud person chooses to maintain that lies the danger that will lead to their own death.

Only from pride can the most terrible sin arise: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. To deny God is the same as a terminally ill patient refusing the only medicine that could save their life. To be proud is to prefer death rather than allow ourselves to recognize our own limitations.

Perhaps this is why many people are proud: because recognizing our insignificance brings such great insecurity that, without God, our only alternative is to find reasons to avoid having to justify our fear that we are nothing.

Only when we stop lying to ourselves and accept the truth that we are no more special than anyone else will we finally be able to accept the truth and see the emptiness in which our heart finds itself. And, at last, seek what will truly fill us: the love of God.

In God’s love, all insignificance disappears, because in Him we experience an impossible and paradoxical love. Even if we are only fleeting dust, to Him we are His treasure.

Only through the love of God are we healed from the emptiness of life, because, in the face of that love, even without understanding, it is enough for us to know that, in God, there is a reason why.

The Day of the Lord is approaching, and His wrath will come upon the Earth and fall upon the wicked. And they will be cast into the abyss, where there is only weeping and tears. There they will remain for ages.

The time is drawing near. It is already knocking at the door. Repent and seek the Lord, our God.

There is no more time to continue living in iniquity. It is harvest time. The separation of the weeds from the wheat will take place, and the angels of the Lord will cast all the weeds into the furnace.

Jesus is granting the final moments of grace, one more merciful opportunity for us to repent and choose a new life by His side.

There is no more time, brothers and sisters! Seek to love the Lord our God with all your understanding, with all your soul, and with all your heart.

For only in the presence of the Lord will we be free from the punishments that will come upon the wicked. It is in the love of the Lord that true life is found.

All the illusory pleasures of the world will fall away so that many may reflect upon what is truly real and eternal.

Do not be deceived by the world, but persevere in faith. And remain beneath the protective wings of love of the Most High.

To live is to learn to listen to the whispers of the soul, to the slightest impressions of our feelings; it is to learn to respect and honor them.

Amid the noise of the world, we become deaf and fail to notice the wound growing within our chest. To remain silent, alone, and meditative is not only important, but necessary.

We need to listen to the voice that arises from silence, the deepest voice of our soul, and understand what it needs: sometimes rest; sometimes a pause, a word of comfort, a change in perspective. What we cannot do is ignore the greatest force within us: feeling.

To seek the first and greatest commandment of Christ is to recognize that this voice, which whispers within us when everything else is silent, needs the unconditional and welcoming love that only God has.

The more we care for this voice by seeking to remain in the comforting presence of Christ, the more our inner being will heal, and we will live life abundantly.

All animals in nature live in complete harmony. They did not need to learn how to live; they simply followed their nature.

We humans are made in the image and likeness of God. We will live as Christ did when we simply learn to quiet ourselves and listen to the true voice of our soul.

Lord, thank You for today. Thank You for transforming me into who I am today. Thank You for everything I have been through to get here.

Your love is what strengthens me each day. Your love is what allows me to live with peace in my heart. Everything is renewed by Your side. You are the God of redemption!

A wicked man, by Your side, becomes one of the greatest examples of surrender and love in the service of good. Our past is no obstacle to what You desire to do in our lives. Everything is made new with You.

Thank You, Jesus, for the opportunity to redeem myself.

We live believing that we will find security in the things of the world: “When I have that stable job, I’ll be fine!”, “When I build up those savings, I’ll be secure!” But there is no security in any of these things. Everything of this world is illusory.

True security always has been and always will be God. There is nothing you can do. All your efforts to attain security are pure illusion. But in God there is true security: the One who will provide water from the rock in the desert, the One who will bring manna from heaven, the One who will make the lions tame, the One who will make the fire not burn, the One who will make a way through the sea when you are cornered, the One who heals the incurable, blindness, paralysis, and even death!

Even if you die, He can bring you back!

God can do everything, anything, for anyone, at any moment. You are infinitely loved by God. God would do any of these things, and even greater things, for you. For you yourself who are reading this!

God only wants your heart, your love, complete, sincere, and true love. You need to develop your relationship with God, because the truer your faith is, the more sincere your love is, the purer your intentions are, and the closer your thoughts are to God’s thoughts, He will in no way ignore your cries.

God is not our servant, but He is our Father. Just as a father and a mother care about raising their children, so does the Lord. He knows how to discern when we are stubborn and when we are genuine. He knows what will harden or soften our hearts. He knows what will make us arrogant or humble, genuine or false, weak or strong. God takes all of this into account when answering our cries.

The prophets of the Lord who, through the grace of God, performed miracles are human beings like us. The only difference between them and us is where their hearts were: in the Kingdom of God or in the things of the world.

The greatest and most important commandment is this: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” There is no commandment greater than this.

Within an identity, we have seen that it is perception that determines happiness. Perception comes from the way the individual observes the world through their beliefs.

And what are beliefs?

Beliefs are thoughts that we repeat to ourselves every day, ideas that we categorize as truth. Our truth is our perception; perception determines how we feel everything.

Jesus said that He was the way, the truth, and the life. But Christianity, as it is taught, has not solved the problem of happiness; it has only illuminated the path.

What was Jesus’ truth?

“I and the Father are one.”

This was the identity that the Messiah took upon Himself. The “I will be what I will be,” the divine spark that incarnated as Jesus, the One whom we consider the way to paradise, identified Himself as one with the Father.

If what we seek most is happiness, and happiness is born from an identity that we assume, then Jesus teaches us the truth: that we are all one with the Father. Truly believe this, because the observer chooses reality based on a focus of identity in which it believes.

And what does it mean to believe that we are one with the Father? What is God?

God is “I will be what I will be.” God is infinite potential realized in all identities, experiences, and lived experiences. God is everything and everyone.

Being one with the Father will transform your perception. By perceiving that we are all one, you are the infinite, the eternal, the unfathomable, and pure love for everything and everyone, seeing in each person an expression of yourself, of infinite uniqueness and equal importance.

To be God is to love deeply; it is to live in a state of grace, filled with love toward everything and everyone.
