“I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out for a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious”
– Vince Lombardi

Obviously, we know what he was referring to when he said this.  However, in my opinion the more difficult thing is finding that good cause for which to work your heart out.  The hard part at least to me is to find where you can utilize your strengths for a great cause, but that is a challenge we should all be looking for: to find that cause that we can exhaust ourselves and works our hearts out for.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From the book, “Fight: Winning the Battles That Matter Most”, by Craig Groeschel, God has given us each a heart of a warrior. An inward, natural desire to stand up for what’s pure and true.  A warrior must have a cause to fight for or he will find the wrong thing to fight against.  You may not think of yourself as a warrior. You’re laid back. Everything is cool, no worries.  You may think you don’t even have a reason to fight.  Well, consider this.  “You’re already in a fight, whether you know it or not. Your spiritual enemy wants to take you out.  He’s a master at making strong men weak.  Sometimes he does that by making us comfortable, secure, and safe, resigned to a mediocre life because it’s familiar and doesn’t require much from us.  Is that really how you want to live?”  –Craig Groeschel

Remember this… God is in the business of making weak men strong.  He will equip his warriors with strength and purpose if we call on him.
