In Him the outcome is certain!
Thanks Mapinduzi for reminding me about this old forward!
Boy did I need it today!
"I get scored on every day. I try so hard. I recklessly
throw my body in every direction. I fume and rage. I
struggle with temptation and sin with every ounce of
my being - and Satan laughs. And he scores again, and
the tears come, and I go to my knees - sinful,
convicted, helpless. And my Father - my Father rushes
right out on the field - right in front of the whole
crowd - the whole jeering, laughing world- and he
picks me up, and he hugs me and he says, "John, I'm so
proud of you. You were great out there. I want
everybody to know that you are my son, and because I
control the outcome of this game, I declare you - The
Winner."

This is beautiful - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the post. We forget that we have a Daddy who will hug us despite everything, including the mud on our bodies
