Who WIns

Good morning and happy Monday. I saw a commercial for March Madness this weekend. It showed the fans glued to the TV and the clock was counting down. The shot went up, the buzzer sounded. Swoosh, the people went crazy. Popcorn in the air and all that stuff. But in the background of one shot was a guy with his head down. His team lost. It's easy to forget the other side when you're winning. And in life if you haven't really experienced losing at it, you may not get it. There is a war waged for your soul. It's played out every day all day. And the winner and loser is determined by you. It's the choices we make that decided who's tossing popcorn and who's head is down. Because we believe in God, do good things, and go to church doesn't mean that God wins. Are you sharing His word? Are you loving God with all your heart and your neighbor too? And it's not God or Satan that win or lose. In the end it's us. It's our choices and the ability of our hearts to be shaped by the love of what Jesus did for us on a cross. Until we truly get what's been done for us, we may not make it. That's the team I want on. He's bought me and now I need to play the game for Him. In love always <><.
