Our Crystal
Ball!
"As one whom his mother
comforts, so
I will comfort
you."
Isaiah 66:13
What’s your most embarrassing moment?
In 2012, the visiting father of an Alabama football
player bumped a table and shattered the $30,000
Waterford crystal AFCA Coaches’ Trophy.
No one knows who was most mortified, the man
who did it or his son, the Crimson Tide player.
Out of mercy, their names were never revealed,
but it was a very embarrassing fumble.
We all have these types of fumbles in life, and most
of us are haunted by moments when we managed
to
embarrass ourselves. Too often we find ourselves,
not in the red zone, but in the red-face zone.
God knows when we bobble the ball, lose
yardage,
or get sacked. He doesn’t need any replays. He sees
every step, knows every slip, and experiences with
us every
victory or defeat.
He still loves us. We can
be fully transparent
with Him because there’s nothing we can hide.
He comforts us like a loving mother. Leave your
mistakes with the Master and toss your trophies
at His feet. Learning to do that is the game
changer.
"Jesus has seen us at
our
worst and still loves
us."
