6:13
You may know
many things, but until you can understand each of them you can't connect the
pieces of knowledge to create the highway of wisdom that your brain runs on.
This is how the greats still manage to be great through lies and adversity.
This is how you manage to appear strong even when you have broken down deep
inside. This isn't a simple task, to teach yourself something like this takes
extreme discipline, and instead is more powerful when taught. Mentors and
coaches once had a strong movement and participated in the lives of many.
Presently their abundance is low. The chance of them returning is low due to a
lack of confidence within our generation. Most of us refuse to reach out and
touch the lives of others. Key principles of life are lost between the
inability to communicate. One major principle we've lost over the years is
worship. I go around and hear people call themselves Christian all day long,
but you can feel the irregularities of God's spirit just by their presence.
Worship must be somatic and true, built on a foundation of prayer. Parents
don't even explicate the importance of prayer anymore; outside of waking and
sleeping. People are fundamentally
ignorant of how to converse with God. Have you forgotten how to brush your
teeth? Seeds that are planted deep inside the soil of your heart maintain
themselves and eventually blossom. Some seeds are domineering like brushing
your teeth, while a few lie dormant unacknowledged by the spectators visible. I
hate to seem like I'm preaching in your face, I prefer to let you see for
yourself. There has never been a time where my faith failed me. This principle
of faith stretches into all aspects of our lives. Faith is not the same as
confidence where as faith must be conjured from yourself when you have nothing
left. My confidence on the soccer field comes from practice, repetition, and
years of doing it. My faith in speaking comes from my faith in the favor that
God has given me, something I can't feel. I can hold one of my MVP medals to
remind me of what I've done, yet at any moment I could lose my grace and end up
back on normal precedents. I could have labored extravagant words to vindicate
my pedagogy. That wouldn't have touched you though. Taking the time to fully
explain each of my thoughts is how we create the bond that will entrench you to
me forever. We have built the temple, and God will remain with us in it.
