Life Like Boxing

No counting in this arena. Even being held down for ten seconds doesn't finalize a loss. No matter when you get up, it still counts. My opponent - that blasted Satan - wants to make me believe that once I'm down, I'm out.
That's not true.

There's an umpire running the show and he tells me to get up. There's something to be learned in this ring and I want so much to know it, in the depths of my heavily-beating heart, to have the knowledge written on my sweaty face and have victory clenched in my trembling fists. I want it so much. I need to listen to the man running the show.

  1. Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot too... it's funny how no matter how much you hear the gospel or how much you think you understand it, it's easy to fall into the trap of forgetting those truths. The sweet thing is, God is right there to cover even misunderstanding the gospel w/ His grace!
