\"\"<\/a>When I was small, I thought of being many things. . . I had many dreams, as thousands of people who pass all days at our side.<\/p>\n

I dreamed of being a soccer player, afterwards I had the dream of being a civil engineer, history teacher among others.
\n
\nLIFE IS MADE OF OPTIONS AND CHOICES<\/strong><\/p>\n

These dreams or ideals that I had were options that I longed for in my future, as the Word says, they were ideations that come from my idea, my reason.<\/p>\n

Already the choice is something that can move my future, it is something concrete. I can have various options as for example to make the choice of a superior course: being a doctor, architect, lawyer… etc.<\/p>\n

These were my options, but I have to choose something definite.
\n
\nTHIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OPTION AND CHOICE<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I knew God in my 18 years of age, all that was option in my life lost its strength.<\/p>\n

I chose to follow God, to give myself to him completely.
\nServing the Lord, this was my choice.<\/p>\n

We know that after a decision exists a motivation that impulses a to help in the salvation of people.<\/p>\n

Evangelization, the certainty of Heaven! This was my decision because of this motivation.
\nI bring with my this proposition: Be of God!<\/p>\n

TODAY BEING OF GOD IS NOT AN OPTION, IT IS A DECISION OF LIFE. BEING OF GOD IS MARVELOUS.<\/strong>
\nWesley Paulo-Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova Missionary<\/p>\n
