Scripture Text:
James 1:16 (NIV) Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17 Every good and
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.
The Good Game is from the Good Father.
He is the one who gives us life.
He is the one who gives us the good and perfect gift of eternal life and enjoyment in this life looking forward to the life to come.
God wants you to enjoy life. The coach says have some fun while you are playing the game. Relax it is supposed to be fun. So it is with life.
Don’t forget to listen to the coach.
Play the game and do you best.
Support your teammates.
Don’t forget God who gives us these games to make us remember to enjoy your life. It is a gift from him.
