John's posts with tag: brazil
10 years ago, at age 18, this man suffered a surfing accident wherein doctors diagnosed that he might not walk anymore. Counting on God's healing he recovered and even made it to the Brazilian Football team. When asked he about his recovery he said "I learned that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not."
One time during a game, He removed his jersey to reveal an "I Belong to Jesus" T-shirt and openly engaged in prayer moments after the final whistle of Milan's 2007 Champions League triumph. Kaká previously sported the same shirt during Milan's 2004 Scudetto celebration and after Brazil's defeat of Germany in the 2002 World Cup final, and had the same phrase, along with "God Is Faithful," stitched onto the tongues of his boots. During the postmatch celebration following Brazil's 4–1 win over Argentina in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup final, he and several of his teammates, among them backup keeper Gomes and defender Lúcio, wore T-shirts with "Jesus Loves You" printed on them in various languages. Kaká has also talked publicly about becoming a minister when he retires from the game.
Kaká is a member of the organization Atletas de Cristo ("Athletes of Christ"). His goal celebration consists of him pointing to the sky as a gesture of thanks to God, and he is proud that he was a virgin when he married. His favourite music is gospel music, and his favorite book is the Bible. Since November 2004, he has served as an Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations' World Food Programme, the youngest to do so at the time of his appointment.

Today i my reading, it says in Luke 1:37 that "Nothing is impossible with God." He allows impossible things to happen so that we may know that he is real. He wants to do impossible things for you too, if only you will seek him. As for me, i embrace & live the next verse.... it says " I am the Lord's servant. I am willing to accept whatever he wants."
