What do I Fear?
I fear stagnation and lack of progress.
I fear never reaching my potential and being average.
I fear being forgotten.. The Past.. Yesterdays news.
I fear giving up and being passed by, going softly into that good night.
I fear letting those I love down, letting myself down.
I fear settling, giving in to the " that's just the way it is" mindset.
I fear dying without leaving my mark.
I fear not feeling these fears anymore and just floating along.
These fears feed me, they nourish my drive to strive for my Divine Destination.
Confidence.
Confidence is knowing that God called you and that if He called you, you CANNOT fail.
So I use that knowledge.
IF GOD CALLED ME, I CANNOT FAIL.
So I use that weapon that God has given me, to believe I can run a little faster, lift a little longer, and push it a little harder.
And when I kneel down at night.
I thank my Maker.
I thank Him for the Divine Calling that has been placed upon my shoulders.
I must remember.
Actions speak louder than words.
His glory is magnified through us.
God has chosen me out of the councils of heaven to strap on those shoulder pads and put on that helmet and represent him.
Every time he blesses me with a healthy body, and gives me a chance to represent him.
I thank Him before the battle.
As he continues to watch over me and bless me on and off the field.
I work as hard as I can to magnify my talents which He has given me.
Given a chance to represent Him, by putting on a name tag and/or by putting on a helmet.
I will always represent my Savior.
Football and God.
ReplyDeleteGreat post to read on a Super Bowl Sunday.
p.s. How do we know that God has called us to something? If we knew, I agree, it'd be a lot easier to succeed.
