Yes, I'm in love with an athlete. Not because of his abs nor because of his huge muscles. It's because of these 3 reasons:
1. He competes.
I love a man in action. He is in the game and not a mere spectator. He trained really hard and takes risks.
2. He competes to receive the victor's crown.
He plays to win the game, not to avoid losing. He perseveres no matter how hard the game is. He has a goal and sets out to get it.
3. He competes according to the rules.
He is attractive to me because he is a man who does not cheat just to win. He knows what's right from wrong because he has read and listened to the rules before playing. He knows his game better because of it.
Who is this athlete? What is his game?
2 Timothy 2:5
Similarly, anyone who competes as an
athlete does not receive the victor’s
crown except by competing according
to the rules.
It is anyone. His game is the game of life.
And I'm in love with this athlete. :)
