Well, the baseball season has ended. Not that all the games are over, but my home state team, the Detroit Tigers, no longer has a chance to win. In an interview team member Brandon Inge made this statement: "You can give your all. That's all you can do. Play as hard as you can and represent the team in the best manner that you can. If you win, you win. If you don't, well, you can sleep [well], because you left it all out there."
As I read Brandon's statement I began thinking about life itself. Eventually life on earth will come to an end and I wondered will I be able to say "I left it all out there"? Will I honestly be able to look back and know that I did all that I could to make life better for everyone I met? Life is more than making money and building a reputation. Life is our opportunity to share our faith, hope and love with those around us. We are on a mission from God and will someday give our report to him.
We need to look at each year, month, week and day as a fresh start. As the work week concludes you and I must each look back and ask the question, "Did I accomplish the mission?" If not, then seek God's direction for making next week a better one. As someone has said we only have one life to offer and only what's done for Christ will last. Vow to make your life a channel of God's grace to others.
