Oportunidades
As oportunidades são dádivas de Deus que exigem sabedoria e prontidão. A Bíblia nos chama a aproveitar o tempo, agir com diligência e não desperdiçar os kairos divinos.

10 Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men; but especially to them who are of the houshold of faith.
