José Paulo – Ideal Decision José Paulo – Ideal Decision
So here is a question to you, the reader: “Do we have to see it to The essence of my faith is a God who did all things to go well,
believe it or to believe it to see it?”. a God who wishes good to all things. Think about the human
Of course, we need to believe it to see it, if one does not believe body, the perfection in the functioning of every organ and every

are mini creators; we are the only creation who can reason, create,
and build.
My faith I believe that being in line with God’s universal laws, using what
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and He has given us, which is faith and thought, we have everything to
assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 do well and succeed in any area of life.
I do respect all kinds of beliefs, but I cannot help talking a little
bit about what I believe. I am a Christian and my faith is based
on biblical principles, but I understand that there is no point in
having an open Bible in a desk, because my actions speak louder
than words
Within my faith, I believe in God, the creator of all things,
and that all things work together for those who are within God’s
purpose. Therefore, I spread this faith to all areas of my life, I am
sure that God gave me an ideal wife, faith that I have wonderful
children, faith that I am surrounded by good people working with
me and faith that I work in a great company. I believed in all these
things before I could see it.
I say this because there are always two creations in life: the men-
tal one, when you imagine something; and the second one when
you materialize this thought. It is like building a house – you ima-
gine it at first, but when you start drawing it, the materialization
begins. A great theologian named John Stott says that “to believe
is also to think”, we were created with the ability to reason and we
must use it prudently, sensibly, and honorably.
