HEART!!!
It’s the heart.
It’s not the strong arm or the accuracy of a 65% pass completion
rate. It’s not the ability to view the field
and read the defense. It’s not that Tony
Romo holds the Dallas Cowboys team record of the most games with a least 300
passing yards or his 100 million dollar contract. My problem with Romo dawned
on me this morning, one day after the Thanksgiving game. The difference between Dax Prescott and Tony
Romo is not the stats, their passing mechanics or athletic ability. It’s all about heart.
Colossians 3:23-24
23 And
whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,24 knowing
that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[a] you serve the Lord Christ.
Absent heart felt effort,
our work lives, family relationships, friendships, worship and ministry are ineffective,
unenthusiastic and seldom rewarding. The
successes we seek are fleeting and seldom commiserate with the time and work
invested. We find ourselves mailing in
our contributions, punching a ticket, going through the motions satisfied with
mediocre service. We lose sight of the
ultimate goal for a Christian disciple, to serve God and please Him, to work
for God’s affirmation and not men. The
mechanics of what we do are correct but we have no heart. Love them or hate
them, right now the Cowboys are playing with heart. When we work with heart in all we do, our
reward with be greater than a playoff win, it’s an eternal inheritance. Live
with heart.
