Life is like a Baseball game

Hello everyone, The other day I played Baseball with some Great friends I saw the team make some errors, strike out, catch some outs, make some great plays and watch grown men have a great time. As I reflected on my life and the many errors I have made in Business and my personal life. The many strike outs I have faced and the many games I have lost. I thought as I was watching my friends having a good time, I saw a tremendous effort by my friend Ernesto, He is over forty and he played like a 20 year old, he play his heart out, he played centerfield took a tumble flipped and still caught the ball, short stop and slid into third base to be safe, truly played an awesome game if awards were to be given out he would of been our MVP after the game while others were resting and eating including myself he was at the batting cages. What makes more of a miracle is that my friend is legally blind on his left eye. For some of you that play Baseball it's hard even worse when playing at night Imagine covering the out field with one eye in artificial light. Next my friend Matt, played like a champion I have known Matt for 20 years and to witness his playing ability and swing for the fences I was amazed, he beat out an infield base hit with a bad ankle truly gave it his all. There is one more his name is Javier with an injured knee, he played like a 29 year old, during our 2 game challenge he hit the ball hard, ran hard and he dove for the ball and played different positions, they all played their Heart out, all these players and the rest of team were amazing, you know why it was so amazing, there was no money in it, no fame, it wasn't televised, they played because they love the friendship and the game. My number one fan was there my 9 year old Daughter, Genesis. I witnessed no matter what I did she always cheered me on, she didn't Boo, wasn't disappointed with me, didn't tell me where I went wrong and how I could improve, she just cheered me on. When I would go up to bat or was playing on the field I could hear Genesis voice resonate in my mind, " I love you Daddy" "Your doing so good daddy" "I'm so proud of you daddy" yes the student was motivating the Teacher. I felt like I was on top of the World. Know this I had not been inside of a Baseball diamond in 32 years. During the game I saw the difference in people that are positive and negative, over 35 people were playing and 25 of them had a great time playing, while others just wanted to complain. You see we can't control the batting order,the other team, or what we are going to do when the Game starts. But we can control our attitude to make sure we give the very best we have. Got me thinking about my Life and more specifically the last 4 years of my Life. We all have gone through a lot as for me, I lost everything my Ex, my Business, my Health and everything that was materialistic. At my lowest point of my Life my #1 fan would always quote Jeremiah 29:11 to me "For I know The plans I have for you declares the LORD...." I didn't understand the words or did not want to, but they reasonated in my spirit. As each strike out occured in my Life my Daughter kept reminding me of God's promise. Each time I thought I was going to hit a homerun it would get caught at the warning track. Genesis kept reminding me of his promise. One time this great training offer came they actually looked for me, I thought "This is it, this is my homerun" pop out to the pitcher. I was so frustrated about everything, I couldn't take another disappoinment, I was angry, My daughter just kept reminding me of God's promise, "That he has plans for me to prosper not to harm me" I wanted to believe but it was hard I knew with "the Faith of a mustard seed, I could move Mountains" I kept up the Faith, But it was hard, Through FAITH I could see the unseen, I could see the plans God has for me and my Daughter my number one fan. You see all this is spiritual warfare, Satan wants you think there is no hope, you striking out, get out of the game you lost. He wants you to see the errors you make and magnifie them so you can feel bad about yourself. If everyone is counting on you to make the winning run and you strike out he wants you to feel like a failure, feel the pain, so you can give up, to take the fight out of you. As you try to get back in the game he replays your errors, strike outs, pop ups and mistakes you make in the game, a playback reel of all your mistakes. Satan can only play with your emotions, that's all he has, when it doesn't work he runs and flees. God your life Coach works differently when your at bat he gently tells you take your time wait for your pitch. When you don't listen and strike out he doesn't punish you he allows you to strike out as many times as you want. His Plans are for you to hit a homerun according to his will, He wants you to win. Listen for the people he places in your Life and hear his voice it comes through crystal clear. Through his voice he Coaches you out of the bad Innings and into the good Innings. He Coaches you out of the Darkness of Failure Into the Light of Greatness. We are always going to swing when we are not supposed to, we will always try to steal second not listen to the coach and get thrown out. We will always think we can catch the high foul ball with no help or guidance from anyone and get hurt in the process. But this I do advice If your going to play the Game play with all your Heart like the people I mentioned above, God rewards those that give their best, He despises lazyness. God has taken every precaution for you win, he has place Coaches I call Angels at First base and third base listen to them there is a reason why they are there. If your rounding home and the Angel says "Run home" Then run with all your speed and score. I'm glad I listen to Genesis the Angel he placed in First base and my third base Angel, Chi that brought me home to score again in Life. I know at times it seems like it's bleek like there is no hope but know this your Life Coach, Jesus is watching every inning every play guiding you through your best and worst games. He has placed Angels in every part of your game to bring you home to score and win again. He has plans to make you prosper to help you win not to harm you but to give you hope and a future. God sees every outcome of every game, Every posibility, I thank God for his Master plan a plan that gives me hope and a future. A plan that he developed to help me win. To help me prosper. Be quite and still and know he is God. Know that every Inning he plans for you to win, he plans for you to prosper, under his Vision and guidance there are Limitless strike outs, Limitless Innings and he surrounds you with an incredible team that play with all their Heart. When in doubt he surrounds you with an Angel that can Hold your hand, that will cheer you on and will remind you of God's Master Plan. Let's win today's ball game and the next, till we Win the Life World series. Thank you Jesus for not giving up on me, and thank you for sending me Genesis and Chi to remind me in the physical World I can Score again in the game of Life. "Because all things are possible through Christ who strenghtens you." Blessed be your name Jesus My LORD and Saviour, Fidel
