Fans

Poem inspired by brother-in-law's sermon.

Romans 8:31 God's Everlasting Love What then shall we say to these things? If
 God is for us, who
 can be against us? NKJV
  
I love fans.  I am one myself.  
I love to watch them as they cheer.
I love to watch them in their gear.
Yes, I love fans!.
 
It doesn't matter what the sport, 
the fans are all the same.  
They enjoy the victories,
 just as if they had won the game.
 They get upset when the other team
 defeats them and they lose.  
 They get irate when their team does poor.  
 And they vocally abuse!
 They become very vocal 
 when their team does not perform
  to the potential that they think
 would keep them all from scorn.
   
 Our Lord is our biggest fan.  He is on our side. 
  He is the President of our Fan Club.
  And He is very much ALIVE!  
  He is very much into our lives (game) 
  because He knows all things!
  And how important for us to win
  each and every time. 
  He is pulling for us like no one else. 
  He gets vocal when we don't
  perform to our potential. 
  Mostly because we won't! 
  God points out our weaknesses 
  when we are struggling to win.  
  I am glad He is on my side. 
  and helps me to defend.
  He is constantly working on my game.
  And never, never tires.  
  He does not like me to get into a slump. 
  He keeps me in the fire.
  And He whispers in my ear endearing,
  My child I'm always on the sideline cheering. 
  
  Do you know that God is your biggest fan?  
  And that He is working diligently, 
  to make your life,
  victorious in His plan.  
  He is always saying to you, "Come on, now, you can do it!!"  
  "Atta boy!!"  win that game.
  The greatest thought in all of life
   is that God loves us and knows each name.  
   He loves you more than anyone else does,
   so don't be discouraged my friend! 
 . For God's your fan and He knows
   you are going to win.  
   Get alone with Him today 
   and let Him give you a "pep
   rally."
  
              Swing batter!
