It?s starting to feel like the CSO Blog has become all Jeremy Lin, all the time.? I couldn?t pass up on passing this along.? It was just too good.? Via the Desiring God blog:
Lin then adds the following commentary about his coming to treasure Jesus more than basketball success:
When Paul wrote in Philippians to press on for an upward prize, he was living for that, and it made his life meaningful (Philippians 3:15). And I realized I had to learn to do the same. I had to learn to stop chasing the perishable prizes of this earth, I had to stop chasing personal glory, I had to learn how to give my best effort to God and trust him with the results. I have to learn to have enough faith to trust in his grace and to trust in his sovereign and perfect plan. I had to submit my will, my desires, my dreams ? give it all up to God and say, ?Look, I am going to give my best effort, go on the court and play every day for you, and I?m going to let you take care of the rest.? This is something I struggle with every day. . . . Playing for great stats is nice, but that satisfaction ? that happiness ? is only from game to game. It?s temporary.
