Riding the bench...

When I was in High School I was on the basketball team.
I was on the team but I rode the bench most of the time.

It feels good to just be on the team.
You get to wear the uniform.
You get to get out of school early on game days.
You get all the perks that come along with being on the team...

But inside there is always an empty feeling.
You know that you are not really doing what you want to do... and should be doing.

When it comes to living for God many of us are on the team...
But we are just riding the bench!

Get in the game! It's so much better than riding the bench!
