JACQUI’S MEDITATION.
Barty Party
Wow – did you see the finals of the Women’s Australian Open? Ash Barty was remarkable!
She won the first set, making it look very easy. However, the second set was a different story. At one stage she was down 1 game to 5. She fought back, point by point, game by game until the set was levelled at 6 games all. She then convincingly won the tie breaker to take out the match and the Australian Open. The thing about Ash Barty is her reliance, devotion and acknowledgement of her team. These people are her family, coaches and friends. She loves them all and repeatedly says she would not be the person she is nor in the position that she is without them.
Christian people, regardless of their family make-up also have an amazing team beside us. They are God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. With that trio on our side who can defeat us in this game called life? Whilst we may not be on the world sporting stage, we are all winners of the greatest prizes of all – eternal peace, love and joy.
