Letter on 9/11

Today is a very special day. A day to remember those who departed on September 11, 2001. Many were the lives that were silent that day but not silenced. Before all the terror and fear that the enemy of our souls we want to establish only one way out: look at God for the strength to overcome what happened. We can only win on fear and hate using the word of God and proclaiming hope and love. These should be the pillars of our lives that should be strengthened and that no one could pull.

To all of Jesus warns: "
And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.." Matthew 10:28

The soul and spirit that God has given us is eternal and can not be extinguished. Not even death can separate us from God. Those who are of God after death return to God. So we should not fear death. Before we fear God who has power to perish in hell the soul and body. Those who incited hatred and vengeance and that satan lives brought against the twin towers did not challenge America or Americans to defy God. They wanted to do justice but God warns us that " Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.”. Romans 12:19

When we put our lives on the altar of God we must trust him. Knowing that he is our righteousness. That nobody can touch or a thread of our head without your permission. And that ALL things work for good for those who love God:
"
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose." Romans 8:28



"
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me; but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."John 14:27-31
