Healed of a muscle strain

José Sanchez

I’ve always been a soccer fan. Some years ago, I started playing with a team of guys, all of them born in a country that has feelings of rivalry with my home country, Costa Rica. I would go to play soccer with them wearing the colors of my country’s flag—blue, white, and red—while most of the other players wore their country’s colors. This rivalry made it difficult for me to play on the team. At times they would deliberately make long passes to me so I couldn’t get the ball.

Then, in one of the practices I had a painful muscle strain in my leg, so I decided to stop playing and just watch the practice while putting my thoughts in order. I had already felt that something was going on that needed to be corrected in my thought.

I began to pray with the idea that we are all equal in God’s sight. God’s love is universal and available to all. As I held on to that line of reasoning, I realized that the strain in my leg had a lot to do with the tension between the team members and me, because we were of different
nationalities.
