Siento que fui llamado con una misión en la vida de edificar a otros con la palabra viva de Dios en estos tiempos donde hay dolor en tanta gente perdida. Dios se manifiesta de muchas maneras y en mi caso quiero honrar a todos aquellos que fueron parte de mi crecimiento e incluso sin querer moldearon mi carácter. Siempre estaba abatido y asustado, pero Dios me protegió y me llenó de valor. El dolor y las pruebas me acercaron a Cristo. No tuve una madre ni un padre que me guiara y solo en Cristo obtuve mi cordura, mi identidad, mi coraje y mi fuerza. Siento que Dios me echó a perder. "Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, a quien el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todo lo que yo os he dicho." JUAN 14:26 RVR1960
