Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12 v 2
Being into sports is tough. The training, the diet, the training, the diet, the training, the diet and then maybe the disappointments. Jesus knows about being tough. Jesus fixed His eye on the goal and went for it. He knew the disappointments and the difficulties but still He pressed on and now he has His crown.
Next Saturday when you go out to kick that ball to win, remember Jesus. Play to honour Him and bring Him glory through not only winning but playing to be the best.
