Badge of honour
Without any qualms, he shared an experience of Ali giving him a black eye in one of the training sessions and how, he went about in the streets without any goggles, flaunting his ‘black eye’ so that this bodily injury would proclaim to the whole world’ that he was Ali’s training partner!
How true in the spiritual realm too! The injuries (physical or emotional) sustained, by way of persecution, while following our Lord can be our badges of honour. It certainly was to Apostle Paul.
“…For I carry on my body the scars of the whippings and wounds from Jesus’ enemies that mark me as His slave.” Galatians 6:17 (TLB)
Are you carrying any
spiritual ‘badges of honour’? Be PROUD of them! |

Some
years ago, I came across an interview with the ex-world boxing champion,
Larry Holmes. What caught my attention was the pride this boxing champ took
in being a sparring partner of arguably the greatest boxer to have walked on
planet earth, Muhammad Ali.
