I’m so thankful for this day and all it represents, in the United States. Here, it is a celebration for me, too. It’s not a national holiday in Brazil. But three years ago today, we brought Renato to the rehab. He lived on the streets, addicted to crack cocaine. He went to the rehab with one pair of shorts; he was wearing them.
Today, he’s still living at the rehab. He has a job in Ponta Negra, that he goes to every day. He’s a help to Murilo at the rehab. He’s recently started dating a really sweet Christian girl.
Renato has been set free. He knows, and tells everyone, that only God can truly free us from sin and from ourselves. I’m so thankful for the living proof of Renato’s life, that Jesus Christ is still saving souls and redeeming lives.
Happy Three Years Free, Renato!
And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free. (John 8:32, 36 AMP)
