Translations:TC 1: How you can be sure you are a Christian/58/en

It is only through trusting God with our lives that we discover how much He adds to life. But many continue to fear He will take away the things they love. A successful coach for a pro ball team confided one morning over breakfast that for years he had been a Christian but had always withheld committing his professional life to God. “I just knew that if I ever gave it to God,” he said, “He would take it away. I was afraid He would want me to go into the ministry instead. But I love what I do. It is my life.” His reputation spoke highly of him as a man of great skill and professional character. It was easy to see his love for his players and for the game.
