A WAKE-UP CALL

Luis Torres

The millennium is, for me, a renovation, a new era. It's an awakening. In Spanish, "A despertar"—Wake up! Renew your ideas. Renew your forces, your spirit. I like the term a spiritual millennium, because we must wake up.

There is a big treasure that's here if you want it. Even if you don't want it, it's waiting for you. You can take one coin that's called God's love; take another, that's the intelligence that God gives. Take another, that's humility. And another, that's love for each other. A treasure. And it is always here, waiting for you. God has a lot of love for His sons and daughters, and He doesn't focus on mistakes. He gives you the opportunity to see the good way and take the coins that are on that way. When you are not living in a good way, you may think that the coins are rocks along the way, but if you then go the right way with your life, you will see that these are valuable coins, and you will take them and use them.
