Please carefully take a look at the photo attached to this post.
Take a very look at the man in the photo, you can see it very well! Right?
He is a goalkeeper, now let me tell you a story about this photo.
This photo was taken in December 1937 during a football match at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London between Chelsea FC and Charlton FC, at the sixty minutes of the game there was a lot of fog.
In fact, when the match began there was a lot of fog all over the stadium.
But at the sixty minutes the fog became so think that the game has to be stopped.
When the match was stopped, this man in the photo who was the goalkeeper for Charlton FC did not know that the match had been abandoned because the fog was so thick that he couldn't see the other players.
The rest of the teammates had all gone to the dressing room and the other opponents they all left the field but he couldn't hear even the Referee whistle blown because the spectators were making a lot of noise.
He stood on his guard protecting his goalpost but unknown to him the match had been stopped.
He stood there for good fifteen minutes until the police came to find him standing in the goalpost and there they told him that the match had been abandoned for the past fifteen minutes.
When he was finally taken away from the field he felt so sad; he said how sad that my own teammates forgot me when I was guarding their own goals.
My thoughts for you the reader:
Sometimes in life that is how it is, sometimes you do everything for your friends and family, you kind of guard their goals.
But when situations becomes so foggy they abandon you, they leave you and they forget you totally.
But I want to tell you something, God would never abandon you.
God would never forget you, your hardship, your trials, you standing up in faith for Him.
No matter how thick the fog of life may get, God has said I will never leave you nor forsake you.
You may be like this goalkeeper now in your life, but I want to assure you one thing, the Angels of God the Lord are solidly behind you.
They are cheering you on never give up on God, because God will never forget you.
He will never forget you, He will never leave you nor forget you.
Have a blessed sunday!
