Last night, I took Zach to his soccer game. The game started and the other team had only a few players. I watched a team of five kids move the ball with great precision and actually scored a goal on our team! Finally other players showed up so we could play a full team on each side.
Zach played hard all game. He had a dozen shots on goal. Every one of the shots came so close, and finally at the very end of the game he scored a goal.
Two things I took away from this fantastic game. Zach's opponents played short at the beginning, but because their passing was so precise they were able to move the ball down the field and eventually score. Even if your playing short, stay in the game. Where two are three are gathered in His name he is there also! Remember that!
Also, I thought about Zach. He did not give up. It was hot, he was tired, but he kept running. We need to set our sites toward the goal and even when we don't hit the mark, we need to get back up and keep trying!
Be encouraged, church! Be a light to someone today, even if you've been rejected a thousand times over. Share Jesus with someone today. Today may be the day that will make a difference for the rest of their lives.
