The best of the world belongs to the best of all
Kaka is the brazilian soccer player elected the best player in the world in 2007.
He plays for Milan, in Italy, and he scored the goal that made that team win the championship on the week that he became the best player.
At the end of the game, this was what the world saw on TV:
For his speech, after he was elected the best in the world, he declared: “When I was a child, my dream was to become just a professional soccer player in Sao Paulo, and maybe play one game for the national team, just that, but the Bible says that God can do so much more than we can think or desire. That’s what happened in my life.”
That makes me think how much we truly give all the glory to God. We probably say that a lot, but I wonder where our hearts are, when we say “I did it well, but it’s because of God”. Specially playing soccer, I mean, who would say “I play well because God blesses me in it”??? Soccer? Well, the Bible says that all things come from the Lord, happen through Him, and for Him. Let’s live a life that brings glory to God!
Thank you for this post.
Great post, Mariana, and just for my husband’s sake, there is such a thing as “exciting soccer” he mentioned Sunday that those words don’t go together – but we know otherwise!
Makes you want to figure out how best to bring glory to God in your own life – for all the people who are watching…
I was just sitting here thinking – “Hey, what if Dan and Mariana posted a new blog post?” So I ran to my computer and went to your blog site….sigh, oh well, it was a fun thought!
Remember…..back in the day when you used to post stuff? Yeah, I remember.
Ah, Dan and Mariana – you must get back into the habit of blogging again! Soon you’ll be parents and you’ll have tons of blogging material, I’m sure! If not, give us a guest log – in and we’ll blog for you as we watch your adventure unfold!
