Man, the Lord has been so patient with me and shown me a bunch over the past year about who I really am outside of Christ. Man, for so many years I was doing Christianity without even having the TRUE mind of Christ. I merely wore him like a nametag, but was in my heart self-seeking, arrogant, prideful just wicked and sinful. I misrepresented Him so much by going through the motions and having a heart that was so far from Him. In reality, I was an idolater. I worshiped many gods, this medicine career, my family, my friends, a couple of dudes here and there. They all took preference over the God of this UNIVERSE.
God began to question me about whether or not I really loved HIM. And how I could really claim to have Him as my Master when I was gladly allowing everything else in life to control my life. He began to show me that my heart wasn't right. There was no way that being in the club on Saturday nodding my head in agreement to songs which blatantly glorify everything that God hates and sent His son to die for, and raise my hands to a praise song on Sunday mornings in church service was right. He showed me through his words in scriptures like James 4:4 and Hebrews 6, that I was His enemy and on a daily basis mourned His Holy Spirit. It became evident that by claiming to be a Christian and still living like the world, I was defaming His name. This broke me. I had no choice, in light of the Gospel to admit that I was wrong, and in view of what CHRIST did on the CROSS. Godly sorrow led me to repentance, and gave my life completely to HIM. I now TRULY know what NEWNESS of LIFE is. The Gospel is Real. Time is running out. Let's not take His LOVE for granted. , and the time we have been given
I'm so grateful that He was patient enough to give me time to truly repent.
Now I am a Competitor now and forever. I am made to strive, to strain, to stretch and to succeed in the arena of competition. I am a Christian Competitor and as such, I face my challenger with the face of Christ.
I do not trust in myself. I do not boast in my abilities or believe in my own strength. I rely solely on the power of God. I compete for the pleasure of my Heavenly Father, the honor of Christ and the reputation of the Holy Spirit.
My attitude on and off the field is above reproach - my conduct is beyond criticism. Whether I am preparing, practicing, or playing: I submit to God’s authority and those He has put over me. I respect my coaches, officials, teammates and competitors out of respect for the Lord.
My body is the temple of Jesus Christ. I protect it from within and without. Nothings enters my body that does not honor the Living God. My sweat is an offering to my Master. My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.
I give my all - all of the time. I do not give up. I do not give in. I do not give out. I am the Lord’s warrior - a competitor of conviction and a disciple of determination. I am confident beyond reason because my confidence lies in Christ. The results of my efforts must result in His glory. AmenLet the Competition Begin Let the Glory Be God's
