One of my personal favorite pastimes is the game of soccer. In the game of soccer, as most know, there are many official positions. There are forwards, midfielders, defenders, and a goalie on the field. The forwards are in the enemies territory and they try to score with the ball.
The defenders, for the most part, basically stay relatively in their own territory and their job is to make sure that the other team does not score. This is obviously done easiest by making sure that every time that the forwards have the ball, we disrupt the play by either stealing the ball or kicking it out of bounds.
We should live the Christian life like defenders when it comes to forces that the enemy brings against us, however, we should not live like defenders when it comes to our brothers who only try to bring growth in the faith. We must not defend ourselves against our brothers who only want to help us in the faith by showing us what may be hard for us to see from the inside out.
Let us grow off of these observations that come truly out of love, so that we may truly become closer and grow together in the faith!
