1. At each stage of life, a designated moment arises, and our main task is to embrace joy. Solomon, in his wisdom, reveals to us that there is no greater joy than to rejoice; Love, the first fruit of the Spirit, is closely followed by joy. However, to fully experience this love and maintain a deep connection with God, we must allow Him to be the only one to fill our lives.
   The first biblical commandment urges us to love the Lord with all our being: heart, mind and strength. In Christ, we find the source of our hope and learn to love ourselves; Therefore, it is essential to seek a harmonious balance in our lives.
   Often, we find ourselves dissatisfied with aspects of our body or appearance, revealing a challenge in accepting ourselves. Sometimes we are overly critical of ourselves, but we discover that true joy and joy come from loving life, serving others, and allowing this attitude to fill us with happiness.
   It is imperative to find delight in our daily actions and persevere at it. Nothing beats the satisfaction of enjoying the blessings while rejoicing in the sun. Do not allow the enemy to deprive you of joy, since his mission is to steal, kill and destroy; However, Jesus came so that we could live a full and abundant life.
   A joyful heart acts as a balm for our souls; Experiencing joy and happiness becomes medicine for our being, allowing us to savor each day more fully. Separating ourselves from our spiritual and daily lives is often a mistake that we should avoid.
2. The best way to start each day is by expressing gratitude to God. In the book of Ecclesiastes, we are taught to fear the Lord and do His will. Parents, let us seek the will of God; children, let us obey our parents. As we raise our children in divine discipline, we will witness every stage of their lives filled with joy. I raise my prayers even for the suitability of your children in each phase of their development.
   Fearing God and obeying Him separates us from the flow of the world, transforming our lives wherever we go. Divine blessing will always reach us.

Sincerely, Pastor Guillermo Ayala.
