One of the underdog sports movies I mentioned in the previous chapter was Rudy, based on the true story of a young man who loved Notre Dame football and wanted nothing more than to play for the team. He was a walk-on, undersized, too small, too slow—but he practiced harder and worked harder than anyone else on the team. At one point in the film, the coach says, “I wish God would put your heart in some of my players’ bodies.” And that’s exactly what God has done for us. He’s taken the heart of Christ and placed it in all his players. Do you see what power we have?
