Give Back principle
In the pro wrestling
sports entertainment industry, there is a principle of giving back. For those not familiar let me try to
explain. When a new wrestler is learning
the art, they must learn from the older generation of stars. It is an art because those men and women put
their bodies on the line to put on a show for the entertainment of the
fans. Yes, there is a predetermined
ending to the match but what they do tells a story in each match and with
promos. What I mean by giving back is
this: the older more established wrestler sells what are called bumps and moves
to make the younger star look good. He
or she may also give them advice. It is like
a parent teaching a child or a martial artist teaching a fighter who is
learning. One day I won’t be around to do this blog, but
I hope that I will have passed onto someone else hope found in God’s word and
encourage them to share his word.
Growing up I got to watch as my dad developed into a pastor and he had a
few mentors. I had a few as well and
people who encouraged me to start doing this life group as a blog. See I endeavor to give back to those around
me and encourage them. I have a simple
goal. If just one person draws closer to
God and finds hope in him because of something I shared, then I have
accomplished what I set out to do. That
is not to say that I, Zac have everything all together because that’s not true
at all I’m a mess, but I can encourage people and point them back to God.
Ephesians 5:15-20
“So be careful how you
live. Don’t live like fools but like
those who are wise. Make the most of every
opportunity in these evil days. Don’t
act thoughtlessly but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will
ruin your life. Instead, be filled with
the Holy Spirit, singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and
making music to the Lord in your hearts.
And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
The believer in Christ
is called to encourage others.
Hebrews 10:23-25
“Let us hold tightly
without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his
promise. Let us think of ways to
motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together,
as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of
His return is drawing near.”
If you have a way to help and encourage
others I urge you to pursue that. You
may be the one encouraging voice someone needs and God can use you.
