Why Do You Do What You Do?

Bobby Jones is still considered by many to be the greatest golfer of all time.  He was the only golfer in history to win the British Amateur, the U.S. Amateur, the British Open and the U.S. Open all in the same year.  Yet, at 27 he retired from competitive golf and never turned pro.  When asked why he wouldn't become a professional and turn his skills into cash he said, "it's a game.  You aren't supposed to make a living from a game."  Bobby Jones played golf because he liked the competition but mostly "for the love of the game".   Although he was practically born with a club in his hand he never lost his fascination with golf and became one of the games greatest students and teachers.


Make sure today that you are following a path toward a pursuit that doesn't involve only monetary reward but something deep within knows you are in it for "the love of the game". 


Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
