Hope and faith in times of "Covid-19"
This week began the radicalization of the collective social quarantine in 10 important states of my country Venezuela. The situation due to "Covid-19" continues to alarm the world population and specifically in my country, which is bordering one of the countries that is most infected with "Coronavirus", such as Brazil.

There is despair and anguish in people, the most vulnerable are the elderly and the picture continues to be critical for all humanity.
In the midst of all this despair, the Lord's church plays a very important role over all humanity. The church is called to give a message of hope and faith in the midst of so much anguish. Although it is true, the church has stopped meeting in local temples to abide by the standards established by each government, however, the church continues to play a transcendental role in the spiritual and emotional sphere of the people.
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, nothing at all can isolate us from the great love that God has for his children.
As Christians we are called to carry through social media a message of peace, hope and love for people. The church must make people see through the different means of communication that Christ loves them and that in the midst of this anguish only Christ can fill us with hope, protection and health.
As it is written: “neither the high, nor the deep, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God, who is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:39
King James Version (RVR1960)”
This is our trust and faith, that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, nor disease or anything similar can separate us from the one who loved us and moved us from darkness to his admirable light. This is the message that we must convey to people in the midst of the tragedy of "Covid-19", so that they seek refuge in Christ and can find peace in the midst of the storm.
