Remembering untold hours of practicing tennis for decades, every day, for six hours or more without missing a day of practice...Unless you have lived that commitment, it is difficult to realize how deep the commitment goes.
Unknown to me in my youth, God was guiding my tennis for His purposes, providing my finances, a university education, military service, travel and a wife. Now, I give back my all and my best to Christ, who changed my life for all the right reasons.
Where there was lying, there became truth. Where there was confusion, there became purpose. Where there was loneliness, there became joy. Where there was unfaithfulness, there became faithfulness. Where there were mistakes, there became correction and forgiveness. Christ changed the world, and He also changed me.
If God has given you so much through tennis*, then you have an obligation to give your best back to God through tennis* also. For believers, it is about bringing others to The Christ. This is what believers need to invest in, Soul-saving. Soul-saving changes lives.
* or some other vocation
