A beautiful read this morning came my way through a social media forward from my mother.
It’s truly meaningful.
The Final Whistle…
I was watching a local football match on a school ground.
I asked a boy sitting nearby, “What’s the score of your team?”
With a smile, the boy replied, “We are at 0, the opponents are at 3.”
I said, “Don’t lose hope, young man.”
The boy looked at me with a puzzled expression, as if questioning my understanding of his determination.
He then gave me a profound response:
“Why should I lose hope, uncle, when the referee hasn’t blown the final whistle yet?”
“I trust my team and my coach completely.”
“We will definitely win,” he said confidently and continued watching the game.
To my amazement, the match ended 5-4 in favor of the boy’s team.
As the victory was announced, the boy waved enthusiastically at me and left with a bright smile.
I was astonished, struck by his unwavering belief and confidence. His faith was so beautiful, so deep, it left me contemplating.
That night, as I returned home, his question kept resonating in my mind:
“Why should I lose hope when the final whistle hasn’t been blown?”
Life is like a game…
While we are still in it, why do we give up so often?
When our final whistle hasn’t sounded, why should we despair?
The truth is, many of us blow our own whistle prematurely.
We leave the field before the game is over.
But as long as life is with us, nothing is impossible.
Whether our time is half over, three-quarters over, or just beginning, that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that we don’t blow the whistle on ourselves before the time is up.
The referee of our game is God.
Have faith in Him and in yourself.
So, let’s remember that the final whistle hasn’t sounded yet,
and let’s enjoy every moment of life like an exciting game!
Life is now.
