GOD OF WONDERS
Psalm 104, 24
For since the creation of the world
God’s invisible qualities -his eternal power
and divine nature-have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made,
so that people are without excuse. (NIV)
Romans 1: 20
I was born in a home where God didn’t exist for anyone. My
parents never believed in any type of religion and I grew up alien to the Truth.
I had a very happy childhood until my parents separated when I was just
entering adolescence. My whole world changed, and with the passing of years my
life took a bad direction. I abandoned my studies as a media technician and
only thought about having fun. My life was an out of control disaster that at
each turn filled me with greater emptiness.
One day, to my surprise, my family was slowly accepting the
Lord, but to me they were all crazy. They spoke to me a lot about God and
salvation, of the love and peace in store for me. This only served to make me
more rebellious; everything related to this subject bothered me until one day
my mother lent me a movie about God’s creation. I watched it out of curiosity.
The images that were passing in front of me removed a blindfold
from my eyes. I saw in all the wonders of nature, the universe, our bodies and
spirits an all-powerful God full of love for us. I cried a great deal and I yielded
to him, praying for my misconduct and incredulity. His peace and forgiveness
changed my life. For five years now I’ve found true happiness in him.
Prayer: We ask, Lord, for all those that still don’t know you. Open
their blind eyes to your wonders and prepare their hearts to receive your sweet
love. Amen.

DIOS DE MARAVILLAS
Salmo 104, 24
“Porque las cosas
invisibles de Él, su eterno poder y deidad, se hacen claramente visibles desde
la creaciĂ³n del mundo, siendo entendido por medio de las cosas hechas, de modo
que no
tienen excusas”
Romanos 1, 20
NacĂ en un hogar donde Dios no
existĂa para nadie. Mis padres nunca creyeron en ningĂºn tipo de religiĂ³n, y
crecĂ ajena a la Verdad. Tuve una infancia muy feliz hasta que mis padres se
separaron, cuando yo ya casi entraba en la adolescencia. Todo mi mundo cambiĂ³,
y al paso de los años mi vida tomĂ³ un rumbo equivocado. AbandonĂ© mis estudios
de TĂ©cnico Medio y solo pensaba en divertirme. Mi vida era un desastre sin
control, que me llenaba de un vacĂo cada vez mayor.
Un
dĂa para mi sorpresa, mi familia poco a poco fue aceptando al Señor, mas yo lo
veĂa a todos como locos. Me hablaban mucho de Dios y de la SalvaciĂ³n, del Amor
y la Paz que tenĂa para mĂ. Esto solo hacĂa que yo me pusiera mĂ¡s rebelde, me
molestaba todo lo relacionado a este tema. Hasta que un dĂa mi madre me prestĂ³
un video acerca de la CreaciĂ³n de Dios. Lo vi por curiosidad. Las imĂ¡genes que
pasaban frente a mĂ me quitaron una venda de mis ojos. Vi en todas las
maravillas de la naturaleza, el universo, nuestro cuerpo y nuestro espĂritu, a
un Dios todopoderoso y lleno de amor por nosotros. Lloré mucho y me rendà ante
Él, pidiĂ©ndole por mis faltas y mi incredulidad. Su paz y perdĂ³n me
cambiaron la vida. Hace cinco años pude
encontrar en ÉÉl la verdadera felicidad.
OraciĂ³n: Te pedimos Señor, por todos aquellos que aĂºn no
te conocen, abre sus ojos ciegos ante tus maravillas y prepara sus corazones
para recibir tu dulce amor. Amén.
