Be The One

In our world, we’re not meant to walk alone; friends, family, and community are essential. Often, it falls on us to brighten dark moments and bring joy to others. As 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up.” Romans 12:10 urges us to “Love one another with brotherly affection.” Today, be the one to initiate positivity, foster friendships, uplift spirits, and embody the light, following the example of Christ. Let’s heed Galatians 5:22-23 and show love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Be that beacon of goodness today.

Be Blessed and Be A Blessing

    When I read your title, I couldn’t help but think of a song written by the early contemporary Christian singer Al Denson by the same title. May my answer always be, “I will be the one!”

        That was some good stuff, especially back in the day! I’m not sure what Al Denson is doing these days. He was leading some worship at First Baptist, Orlando, several years ago.

      Thank you for Reading and commenting. Yes, a Dear Brother, (Matthew) share this song with me and I was blessed by hearing it for the first time. I wish I would have heard it before I shared this Post, it probably would have motivated me to add more to this.

      Have a Blessed Weekend.

    Thank you, Brother Gary, for including me in your blog. You’re the second person to share that song with me, and I’m genuinely blessed by it, especially now that I’ve added it to my favorites list. Your support means a lot, and I’m deeply grateful for your kind words about my post on your blog. Thank you for reading, commenting, and for your heartfelt acknowledgment.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
