I will not be a great writer or I will have a great lexicon, but I try to express what is written in my heart. I do not want to be a hypocrite, an ordinary person who gets carried away by the currents of this life. For this reason the title is "football and life".

Football was invented, to have fun but from a few years ago to practically the most famous and important sport in the world; its meaning or objective is peace, the union always of countries, races, social differences, to transmit love and friendship to humanity; however, observing the high competences that exist today in developed countries and that are powers. Everything is different in a radical way

Everything is superb, fame, being the center of attraction, the WINNING no matter what "CUESTE" (I mean the dirty game, insults, little kindness, integrity on the floor, the lack of morality seems to be forgotten.

<I have come to think of making the decision not to watch more football matches, whatever team is>.

Reflecting I remembered and said in my mind "God a year ago he told me that he was going to reach the nations because football (I speak of the directors of FIFA, especially the president), is looking for players like Kaka, with integrity the objective and the vision of the past.

I have decided to be a player that I do not mind playing, winning, having fame, being the best player in the world or my team; but that it be integral, that my objective is to demonstrate GOODNESS and in this way EXALT the name of Christ.

It's complicated but every time I recite Galatians 2:20, the football version says "I do not play anymore, but now Christ plays in me".
I receive strength to move forward.

"Today I learned that when I say these words God takes it seriously, besides God taught me his ways even in this they are higher than mine, he taught me that when I say" he plays "he does not mean" play "only in the field of play only but barely touched the grass of this world because when I told him you are going to" play your for me "I imagined him kicking the ball for me and achieving a Great Goal! or sweeping and saving my team from being defeated from a match. But today it was just the opposite not even played a minute on the court, but I had to humble myself to go to show a boy, meekness to ask for forgiveness, for having beaten and left him injured in the previous game. Then I reconsidered and understood that even playing is not important, but that I will play or play to show the character of JESUS in any circumstance. " 05-14-11

Now the second point of this writing:

It is about the other part of the title and comment on "football" now comes the Why? Place "and life" was that reading in the bible, God has given me to know that all this that I talked about football is very similar to life, because, life thanks to sin, it has the look everywhere except in Christ, God, the Bible, to what God wants for our lives. True?

As Christians we are called to put on the team uniform Cristo FC. Not seeking fame or anything selfish for our lives, but to glorify God with every work we do, we demonstrate or say, among others ...

I recite a portion of Galatians verse 2:20 but now Christian hehe.

"I no longer live, but Christ lives in me".

That means DYING the saying they say "I do what I want, and that's the way I am" and start saying I do not do anything on my own because my life is JESUS ' the reason he lives inside of me.

This is how we will change this world. Make your difference!

Perhaps most non-believers, well and some believers thought:

"if the gospel is good (Good News), God and all that is very beautiful and it sounds good but that was before, for centuries one could live surrendered to God".

Maybe what they say is not a lie, but still they do not realize the reason why they say that it was before, and that reason is the same as in the past, LOVE to what we see tangible. Because I say that if people like the ones the Bible names in the book of Hebrews 11 can be raised, those men of valor who stripped themselves of their lives, to love God above all things. I name you some men of faith who gave the WHOLE: Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Jeremiah, Samuel, David, Peter, Paul and many more. Oh! I forgot the greatest man who has been on earth and by his blood we are washed, He is the greatest example to follow Hebrews 12: 1-2.

Maybe he will be thinking that it only happened in the stories of the bible and it does not happen now or at least after Christ. But where do you leave, in the times of the Soviet Union to the church "tortured by Christ", the "iron curtain", to Richard Wumbrand.

The great feats and revivals led by men like you and me; such as: Savanarola "precursor of the reform", Luther "The great reformer", Juan Bunyan "immortal dreamer", Jonathan Edwards "The great revivalist", John Wesley "tea snatched from the fire", Jorge Whitefield "outdoor preacher" , Moody "celebrate conqueror of souls".

Among many who have gone through this world and did not live in a rose garden, often criticized, mistreated, stoned, excluded from everything; but in any case they preferred to live the rest of their lives under the presence of God Psalm 91: 1. They left a mark and still continue to mark lives with their testimonies those who want to belong to this generation of fire.

I do not want you to bother with this reading, I just want you to know that my desire and desire is that together we throw ourselves into the arms of God and make revolutionize this world. It seems impossible, one of the last phrases of Jesus on earth were: "In my name they will do greater things than He". But only for those who believe (Mark 13.23) "if you can believe, who believes everything is possible".

I know that we are not all famous or we will have a great profession, but are we spilling ourselves on God so that his power and glory is palpable even in the least?

If we say that God is the most important thing in this life, let us completely surrender ourselves to Him; to live in PRAYER, that we can not even sleep for longing for HIS LOVE, PRESENCE, MAJESTY in everything we do.

BE A TRUE DISCIPLE, DO NOT WAIT ANYMORE!
