We must love us like brothers and should know to pardon one another when we are offended. We should not keep resentment. Life is valuable and nothing can be compared with the greatnesses that God has given to us. To be humble of heart allows to demonstrate the love of God.

May this message be of blessing for you and the people with whom you coexist.

How we met Family Velazquez Lopez

Receiving the message brought tears into the eyes of the grandmother. She was touched deep in her heart, and told about the importance of believing in God. She gave us examples of histories written in the bible having a certain meaning then and today.
