From: The Applause of Heaven
By: Max Lucado
Picture it this way. Imagine that you are an ice skater in competition. You are in first place with one more round to go. If you perform well, the trophy is yours. You are nervous, anxious, and frightened.
Then, only minutes before your performance, your trainer rushes to youwith the thrilling news: "You've already won! The judges tabulated the scores, and the person in second place can't catch you. You are too far ahead."
Upon hearing that news, how will you feel? Exhilerated!
And how will you skate? Timidly? Cautiously? Of course not. How about courageously and confidently? You bet you will. You will do your best because the prize is yours. You will skate like a champion because that is what you
are! You will hear the applause of victory....
The point is clear; the truth will triumph. The Father of truth will win, and the followers of truth will be saved.
