II Corinthians 3:2

You're in a unique position to represent your school, your club or your community in the world of athletics.  Even more than that, you reflect your family, coaching staff and others of influence in your lives.  Today's scripture speaks to that dynamic.

In Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth in chapter 3 and verse 2 he says, "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody."  This is a heart-felt affirmation from a leader to his friends.

It's like when you go places, people can see the signatures of the people from whom you've learned and with whom you've worked and played.  They see your mother's smile, your coaches' expressions, and sometimes they see Christ's character.

In today's game, compete in such a way that everyone who's been an influence on you is plainly evident as you represent them with grace, power, excellence and tenacity.  You really are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.
