We Already Have What We Need To Succeed!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Short Story....A man wanted to be a professional golfer all his life but instead of following his dream he got married, took a job and stayed in that job for 23 years until they fired him. Faced with disappointment about his life...he decides to take a chance and try out for the Senior tour. He scored 69 for 3 days and when the last day came he needed a 68 to qualify in the top 8 for the tour. Going into the last hole it was very possible but he hit a bad shot and ended up shooting a 69. He left the course and went to the tent feeling like he had totally blown his one chance at doing what he loved. Twenty minutes went by and he expected to hear the names of the top 8. All of a sudden he heard the man next to him say that the last 3 golfers had hit their drives out of bounds thereby disqualifying for the tour...this meant his 69 was enough to put him on the tour. The moral? 1. It's never too late to follow our dreams. 2. God has to close one door before he can open another one. 3. We already have what we need to succeed. The 69 was enough...he didn't need the 68 he was striving for! Stop striving for excellence when we already have God's perfection! Be Blessed!
