We have a choice about what we spend our time on, how we spend it and to whom we give it.
We’ve committed to God’s team. We’ve cultivated our faith to receive God’s love more and become more like Jesus. Now, will we choose to love like Jesus?
God wants you to love your coaching staff, teammates, team manager and everyone involved in the program. It’s not by accident that you are together. But you can be certain of one thing: God has you where you are, with the people you are with, for however long you are with them, so that they can experience God’s love for them through you.
REFLECTING GLORY
Because He renews your life—by giving you a new heart. When God gives you a new heart, He also gives you a new purpose and, through His Holy Spirit, new power to walk out that purpose with boldness, confidence and conviction. You can do anything God calls you to do, but you can’t do it alone!
As you are renewed in Christ, you have a new heart, which creates a new identity in Him. Then, there is a new purpose to your life: To spread the Gospel and live your life for Jesus. As an athlete, your new purpose might be to use your sport as a way to reflect how Christ as changed your life or to share the gospel with teammates, coaches, and others within your sphere of influence. You also have access to the power of the Holy Spirit, who will give you strength and courage to do what God has called you to do. As you step out in this new purpose and power, you will begin to see your life transformed.
KEY VERSE
"This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you."
