Running the Race

We recently attended our daughter’s first sports day… lots of sunscreen, too little seating, too many sodas, dads competing as if it’s their last chance to taste victory, moms yelling enthusiastically while taking pictures with a persistence that would leave tourists, tired, lagging behind in the dust. And children, even though they came last, having an absolute blast! Or as with my daughter: some more interested in playing on the jungle gym than wanting or even trying to win. Exhausted from all the fun; our little angel proudly flashing her medal (that she didn’t deserve since she barely even ran in any race), we head home. What a wonderful morning!

I am reminded of God’s goodness towards us, graciously giving that which we do not deserve. On the medal I received- His symbol of approval.

Let’s shine for our King; proudly reflecting Him to the lost! Losers converted. Now winners in and through Him... for that is what He has done for me.

Much love
