Mas a verdade, que isto acontece com todos! No se preocupe, no e apenas com voce que tais coisas acontecem! Uma das experiencias que demonstram isso, aconteceu com um homem, o qual teve a maior sorte do mundo! Ou a palavra certa seria "um dos escolhidos". Este homem era Pedro, sim um dos discipulos de Jesus. Ele conheceu o filho de Deus e no o deixou mais por nada! Quer dizer, no foi bem tanto assim, a historia foi bem outra. A verdade, que mesmo depois que Pedro andou com Jesus, conversou com ele centenas de vezes, foi testemunha ocular acerca dos milagres de Jesus entre os homens. E sabe o que aconteceu, Pedro "negou" Jesus por tres vezes. Pedro falhou e fez feio! Ele abandonou Jesus quando este mais precisava dele. Mas, apesar disto, Jesus no desistiu de Pedro! Muito pelo contrario, Ele foi atras do Pedro amargurado e o fez acreditar que somos fracos a todo momento, mas que em Deus, somos mais que vencedores. Venha conhecer essa realidade, na qual com Deus, somos mais fortes que as forças contrarias! Vem conhecer aquele que te conhece profundamente, mais que voce mesma!!!
