“Jesus said: Fill these pots with water; each contained between eighty
and one hundred and twenty liters of water. Then the party leader tasted
the water, and the water had turned to wine. So I said to the bridegroom:
you saved the best wine for last â€
John 2: 6-10.
The amount of water that Jesus transformed to help the bride and groom
at the wedding in Canaan was so great and of such high quality that it
shows that God helps us in a generous way.
So cry out to the Lord God when you're in trouble. He always provides
more than we need, for he is God of abundance. His resources are

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone"
Do not contend with anyone. As much as possible,
live in peace with everyone.
Never take revenge. Leave the wrath to God,
for it is written: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.
On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry,
give him something to eat; if he is
thirsty, give him a drink.
Do not let evil prevail, but triumph over evil,
doing good â€
Romans 12:17-21.

acting with love, He will defend our cause when
someone is unfair to us.

"Love does not seek its own interests"
1 Cor 23:4.
True love that comes from God is free, does not own people
and he doesn't even hold them, hostage, on the contrary,
he teaches them to fly and sets them free!
True love brings life! It is like the sun that makes the seed germinate.
So happy is he who is next to people who know how to love!
It will grow like the cedar of Lebanon and will fly high with wings like an eagle.
The love that comes from God, does not mistreat, does not seek its own interests,
respects, and is responsible. Unlike the love of the world that is irresponsible,
selfish, stingy, and fleeting.
Whoever loves others, with the love of God, offers eternal love.
For love is the only one that crosses the barrier of time"

Psalm 119: 105.
Many people do not understand the importance of reading the Bible.
But it is the Word of God, for those who believe.
The Word of God teaches how we should behave and what
position wealth should occupy in our lives.
It guides us in the right direction, always on the path of peace and
forgiveness.
Also, enlightens the mind in order to make the right decisions.
Because from the Word we learn what pleases and displeases God.
It also teaches us to share our food with the hungry, to shelter the
helpless, and to bless the outcasts.
So, when we are enlightened by the Word of God,
"We are like a source whose waters are never lacking â€

The reason we know that God hears and answers our prayers is because He said:
“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.â€

God never ignores any prayer request, so He can answer: Yes, No or Wait!
Often, we do not get the answer we so desire, but we must rely on God's wisdom. His plans are better than ours!
Do not lose hope! There is no one who loves you more than God. Wait on the Lord with a grateful heart and with open hands to receive your blessing.

“The Lord God is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one?
The LORD protects me from all danger; I will not be afraid of anythingâ€
Psalm 27:1.
How worthy it is to trust in Jesus, for when the foundation of the world is shaken,
He continues to keep our feet under a strong rock. He continues to light our steps,
even when we walk through the valley of uncertainty.
There is no safe place in the world if we are not in the arms of our God and Savior.
So come on! Let us take shelter under the shadow of the Most High God, as we rest with Him;
the fear goes away, the wind calms down and the danger that threatens us is far from our door.
Because the Lord Almighty is our shelter, our protection and we trust in Him: We will not be
frightened by the plague that spreads in the darkness, nor by the death toll that ravages at noon.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed,
but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken;
struck down, but not destroyedâ€
2 Corinthians 4:8-9.
We often face difficult times, as crises are inevitable.
But if we remain in the Word of God, He will cause us to
rise from the depths of fear to a place of victory!
In fact, His presence invigorates us, for He does not allow pain
to steal our joy. Nor does the current situation blind our hope for
a better future. We are not defeated when difficulties reach us,
but when we lose the confidence that God takes care of us.
Trust in the love of God; be of good cheer, He will never forsake
the one who loves Him.

"Children, you show love for others by truly helping them,
and not merely by talking about it"
1 John 3:18
Love is not only to be kept or stored in the heart.
It is not only to be exhibited in words, songs and
even prayer.
Love does not turn into love until it is shared.
It is such a precious feeling that it only grows in
the heart of those who spread it freely without
expecting anything in return.

and do not rely on your own opinions.
With all your heart rely on him to guide you,
and he will lead you in every decision you make.
Become intimate with him in whatever you do,

Don’t think for a moment that you know it all.
For wisdom comes when you adore him with
undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong.
Then you will find the healing refreshment
your body and spirit long for.
Glorify God with all your wealth,
honoring him with your very best,
with every increase that comes to you.
Then every dimension of your life will overflow
with blessings from an uncontainable source
of inner joy!"

“Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumbleâ€
Peace comes in our hearts and in our
home when we dedicate ourselves to follow Jesus
and to study with diligence His teachings.
As well, the Word of God illuminates our paths;
not allowing us to stumble in iniquity.
When we embrace God’s Word, we are blessed
with Jesus own personal peace, when He says:

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"

Paul encourages us with these promises, that God will always be with us, He
will never leave us and He will never abandon us. No strength and no power can

The Word of God teaches us to look at life always from the perspective of God's promises, not with the natural mind
For the human being, there is the reality of the "Impossible"; But Jesus declared that for God "anything is possible."
That's why he asks us.. Don't let the past determine your future. Forgive the mistakes and disagreements of what has already been left behind.
If we are going to live and fight the daily hardships, dragging the unpleasant memories of the past, we will surely compromise the happiness of the present.
Only God can help us put the ghosts of the past to sleep the deepest sleep of eternity.
Trust in God, he can change any sad and difficult situation into joy
And God asks us, don't you understand? That if you trust me, you will see the spring of today bloom.
Trust me! And even in the desert I will open a new path for you to walk and even a river for you to rest I'll be born.
Nothing is impossible for God who is capable of creating everything from nothing. Just forgive the past and put your situation in his hand.

We can be certain that all our help comes from God the Father.
He is the Lord who holds us when we are sad and with our souls tired of waiting.
He lift us up when the feeling of guilt and abandonment makes us fall down.
He's the one standing next to us when anguish makes our hearts weight heavy.
Only the presence of God Almighty can calm us and renew our forces to climb the high mountains of the impossible.
We should not worry even if there is no way to cross the sea from one side to the other; For God will always reach out His hand to us to walk on the waters with him.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.â€
â€â€Galatians‬ â€5:22-23‬ ESV
When we allow God to manifest himself through us, respect, generosity, kindness, and many other fruits of God's love flow from within our innermost being.
Therefore, let the presence of the Lord God in us be notorious through "attitudes that come with the trademark of God" (The Journey).
For the wisdom we receive from God materializes in mercy, impartiality and sincerity.
As Jesus teaches: it is not worthy to fight but to be peacemaker and be kind to all; nor should you slander anyone or keep record of the mistakes of others.

Jesus death was not by chance or an accident. But it is the result of a plan designed by God before the Creation of the World.
Jesus was not the victim of death, but a conqueror who conquered it and submitted it under His power.
The scripture announced that our sins have separated us from God; our sins have hidden His face from us, so that He will not hear†Isaiah‬ â€59:2‬ â€NIV‬‬.
But, God’s plan was that through Jesus sacrificial death He remember our sins no more and we can live with Him forever.
