Some of you have never won a prize in your life. Oh, maybe you were quartermaster in your Boy Scout troupe or in charge of sodas at the homeroom Christmas party, but that's about it. You've never won much. You have watched the Mark McGwires (insert your favorite sport star) of this world carry home the trophies and walk away with the ribbons. All you have are "almosts" and "what-if's".
If that hits home, then you will cherish this promise, "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away" (1Peter 5:4 NIV).
Your day is coming, what the world has overlooked, your Father has remembered, and sooner than you can imagine, you will be blessed by Him.
