What would life be if I pursued a Soccer career? Many lingering injuries... A short and maybe a disappointing career. Although, I have not pursued a athletic career but I do feel the injuries that will haunt me later on in my life. I would have been paid to sit on the bench. That would suck. What would life be if I achieved excellence in schoool? I would not have searched for the meaning of life. I would not have went to church. Most of all I would not have known who God was As I ponder the many roads I've taken what rewards have I gained? There has been countless times that God molded my character. 1) Relying on God through the toughest times of my life 2) Depending on his provision resources when I had no job 3) Being worry free when things dont go my way 4) The technique of thanking God through the tough times and the good times 5) Remained to focus on the race at hand. What would life be without the eternal HOPE of Jesus Christ??? All I know is I would have gone through this life with no purpose and my flesh would be rotting inwardly awaiting for my judgement day. As I look at the cross I am thankful that Christ took on the punishment for us and bridged us back to the Father so that we can have the eternal HOPE God planned from the very beginning when SIN entered the world. |
