Pain

ah tennis tryouts...
the very essence of pain...loll
I know some of you are reading this thinking, "Yo Man up Charlie!!!"
But seriously ever since tryouts started I've realized just how weak I am. Simple workouts can really leave you soar. So I was trying to think about this in a more spiritual perspective and here's what I got...
So the point of working out is to build your body up right?
You need to eat right and exercise daily and all that kinda stuff.
Now if we want to be spiritually fit, (I know some of you are connecting the dots already) you need to "eat right" regularly... meaning ... get your daily dose of God's Word. And sure your gonna feel pain, your gonna feel a lot of pain actually. But in the end you get built up and become a better person.

Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
