Today I was chilling with my grandma and my brother, we were watching the talk show discussing how Linsanity influence NBA and the whole world. To be honest, I never like basketball and I feel all kinds of games such as NFL or MLB is a lil bit dull. Maybe because I am such a girly girl. Anyway, but this dude really grab my attention. By watching his games and the integrity he's carrying, you can really tell he is walking just the way as Jesus.
Do you remember what God asked Cain? He asked Cain where is your brother? As a matter of fact, it was a good reminder to watch our brother's back to be his keeper. What Jeremy has done is exactly correspond with what God has taught us. While he is in the court instead of trying to making it like his professional solo show, he choose to honor his brothers and he humble himself whenever glory comes along. He gives his glory to God. He always says if he can't play basketball, he would like to be a pastor. But the thing is, dude you're already doing it! Jeremy is such an undercover missionary in Christ so that's why while he's playing in the Madison Square Garden he is preaching the gospel through his action. God sees his faithfulness and favors his precious son. What I Admire Lin's most is his humility of not taking credits in terms of winning.
Therefore, if you're moved by him maybe you should know about his favorite Bible verses, Romans 5:3-5 "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Remember, the desire of your heart must be done out of the glory for God. Because what the Scriptures says about the righteousness without God is just like the filthy rags which means if you want to fulfill your own desire, own fame, own accomplishment, you will be burnt out. At the end of day, we are called and adopted for a purpose, the purpose is to fulfill the great commissions on earth. The purpose is no matter who you are, where you're from, what kind of job you have, you do it out of the glory. All we need to do is prepare ourselves, prepare our heart, soul and spirit to be ready like a "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile". You need to prepare yourself on the "Ready" mode because you never know when God will push the bottom! When He says "Go!" He is not playing, He is dead serious to send you out!
