one of the most important techniques while playing tennis is to FOLLOW THROUGH on your swing... as it is with most other sports, i'm assuming (baseball- following through on your swing; football- following through on your throw).
but have you ever made a promise and never followed through on it? i think about the times i've said, "ok. i will devote x amount of hours to God this week in quiet time and prayer, at this time and this place." .....and i never do it. i do not follow through. the sad truth is, God is there when i make that promise (even if it's to myself) and there He is, at the end of the week, and i've basically just stood Him up. totally dissed Him, for lack of better words. and that just really tore me apart when i realized that...
how hurt would i be, if i were the one whose promise was unfulfilled due to someone's laziness?
but the best thing is.... man. God is just so good. He always loves us even though we stand Him up, lie to Him, break promises everyday... He always is faithful.
and when our burden gets heavy, He is there to lift it off our shoulders. we just need to seek Him and pray to Him, ask Him for His help and His mercy. God is totally able. that's just SO amazing, how, even though i might feel so burdened or hurt by someone or something, i can always just count on God to take those feelings of anger and hurt away.... but it'll only come if i seek His help and wisdom.
that's what i'm challenged to do today.
