Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 18.3 NRSV)

The year was 1934. A National Football League championship game was played between the New York Giants and the heavily- favored Chicago Bears. The game was played in bitter cold weather, on a field covered with ice. At half-time the Bears were leading 10-3.

During the half-time, however, the Giants switched from cleats to sneakers which they had borrowed from the Manhattan College basketball team. Suddenly, the Giants had the edge. With their superior traction, they scored four touchdowns in the second half and beat the Bears 30-13.

Perhaps your life has not been as effective as you would like for it to be. Perhaps it's time you changed shoes. Today can be a new beginning. Focus in on Christ and His will for your life. Forget those things that are passed, and forge on to a new life. With God's help, many others have done it. With God's help, so can you and I.


Dear God, help me to change that which needs to be changed in my life, and help me let go of the things that hold be back. Amen.
