Ever had one of those days when you thought about something you did as a child? Like riding your bike on a hot summer day and you tried to do a trick in front of your friends and it didn't work, or when you fell down at the skating rink, were you embarrassed when you fell? Did you get back up? Of course you did, you laughed, brushed yourself off and kept on trucking.
Somehow along the roads of life, we have forgotten that principle of getting back up and we have held condemnation over the heads of others. Even in our weakest moments, we have had the opportunity to be forgiven. Yet, we play games with the minds of others, by making them feel inferior and that they will always be that "same old person." Ps. 32:1 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." We can not dangle a person's past over their head. For the believer we must extend our hand to help those that may have fallen. True we should not be a crutch for them, but an extension (witness) of God's saving grace.
The greatest moment in any one's life is the opportunity to use their setback as a come back. God gets the glory when we realize that we have overcome and are willing to share our testimony with others. After all how did we hear about the gospel other than when someone shared their encounter with us. We overcome by the word of our testimony (paraphrased Revelation 12:11) "Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up..." Proverbs 24:16a The bigger question is are you willing to help or hurt those in need. I choose to HELP!
Champions, you have a challenge....today, this week, this month and this year. Help someone else along the way. It's not about you although you are fearfully and wonderfully made, it's about God......he doesn't give us dead ends, but glorious new beginnings. Challenge the CHAMPION in you to become a better you in your home, church, community, on the job, and in school.
CHAMPIONS, VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU!!
