Good morning and happy Wednesday. I love to watch UFC fights. I like to see warriors rise to the top. A lot of my pre game pep talks to my daughter involved the heart of a warrior. So it was no doubt that I would love the movie "Here Comes the Boom". Very predictable and all that corny Hollywood film stuff, but if you look beneath it all you see a lot of heart. Love for people and kids and the right thing being done for the right reasons. I can always get behind that. The heart of things, the center of it all. Our heart is very important to all aspects of our life and eternity. So to me a warriors heart takes on a whole new meaning than it did growing up. Same idea, just focused on other venues. Jesus is who we should have a warriors heart for. A never give up, fight to the death for mentality, but with more compassion to love and serve than to fight. Weird twist isn't it?  The heart and its emotions are a strange mix that if left for us to tend to on our own would surely lead us to destruction. That's why there's a God shaped hole there that only He can fill and if left to Him will be a peace and commitment like never before. But a warrior doesn't surrender, especially not his heart. It's about seeing the right things in life that need to be done for the right reasons that will allow a warrior to give up his life for others.  Now you have a true champion. And the example of this was done on Calvary's hill by the greatest of all time. His life for ours. After you've given your heart to Jesus, who are you going to give up your life for while you're here? In the warriors code there is no surrender, but surrender we must. Surrender today to the will of God in your life and be His champion for someone besides ourselves. In love always. <><
