For some reason in today's society, people look up to football players and you have a voice. And it's because of that voice you have the opportunity to impact people's lives.
Tim TebowRead
At the end of the day, everything is God's plan, and he cares about what we do. He cares about our hearts, how we play the game, and how we treat people. He's definitely involved with how we handle sports and not just the outcome of it. I'm proud when athletes mention God in any way.
Interpretation
This quote emphasizes the belief that God's guidance and care extend to all aspects of life, including sports and personal conduct.
Tim Tebow expresses the idea that life events unfold under divine planning, with God being intimately involved in our actions and attitudes. He shows a particular pride when athletes acknowledge their faith, suggesting that this connection reflects a deeper commitment to values such as integrity, respect, and care for others, both in sports and beyond.
In practice
During a speech at a community center, a coach might use this quote to inspire teamwork and respect among young athletes.
For some reason in today's society, people look up to football players and you have a voice. And it's because of that voice you have the opportunity to impact people's lives.
If you do base your life on how many touchdowns you score, how many championships you win, then when you have a setback, then when you have an injury, you're not playing, or something goes wrong, your self-worth goes down.
Every time I step on the field, I'm going to give my whole heart regardless of the score.
We can control a few things: our attitude, our effort, our focus and how we go about treating our teammates.
On the field I'm trying to play for the glory of God but then also I'm trying to give everything I have and win and compete. And so I think more than just winning or losing, I think He cares about where our hearts are when we're playing.
What's so amazing in today's society is people look up to football players. And as a football player, you have a platform. And it's so much more important than any touchdown or trophy or anything you could win with football. Its taking that platform and be able to influence people.
Father of mercy and God of all consolation, graciously look upon me and impart to me the blessing which flows from this holy Sacrament. Overshadow me with Your loving kindness, and let this divine Mystery bear fruit in me.
Too often we attempt to work for God to the limit of our incompetency, rather than to the limit of God's omnipotency.
God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.
I place trust in God, my creator, in all things; I love Him with all my heart.
I realized that everything I had to do I could not do on my own, and so I was almost obliged to put myself in God's hands, to trust in Jesus who - while I wrote my book on him - I felt bound to by an old and more profound friendship.
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
