So, I am helping to coach Blake's C-Team, full contact, tackle football team. This is a team of 5, 6, and 7 year olds mostly, with a few that turned 8 after the deadline. We play our first game of the season this Saturday, two days. We are trying to show them all we can about football, how to tackle correctly, how to maintain containment, etc. BUT, you can't coach heart. Period.
Heart/desire is something that is individual. I have seen some athletes that had been given some gifts to play a particular sport but they weren't as good as they could be because they didn't try. On the other hand, I have seen some athletes that weren't as blessed with GOD-given talent but would wear the "talented" guy out because they wanted it, and because they wouldn't give up.
Today's word is just a simple quote that says, "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."
There are things in this life that will challenge us on a daily basis. There are things that will challenge us on a moment by moment basis. And, we can either decide to fight through each challenge and accomplish what GOD has for us to accomplish OR we can just give up. I don't know about you but I don't want to give up. I want to see things through. I want to do what I have been called to do. I want to set an example for my kids that we accomplish nothing by giving up.
The next time you are faced with a challenge, and you will be. Pray to GOD, Who will give generously, for the strength to keep on keeping on. He will help us persevere and push through if we will only ask. He will renew us daily if we will only ask. And, He will help us to never give in nor never give up.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
