Inspirational Nugget: Kylian Mbappé, 19…
The French teenager, Kylian Mbappé, 19, enthralled soccer fans at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as he danced through defenses on the way to leading Les Bleus to their first title in two decades. Mbappé became the first teen since the legendary Pelé, 60 years ago, to score a goal in the World Cup final. But his actions resonated far beyond the soccer pitch. As the son of African immigrants and product of one of the low-income banlieues, or suburbs that surround Paris, the young phenom—who plays professionally for the club Paris Saint-Germain—also represents hope for a more inclusive Europe.

… And Have Our Being…
Acts 17:28 New International Version (NIV) – ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’…
The being of a person means simply the core or the completeness of a person or what makes up a person or what actually is the person made up of or who the person is.
This means that the totality, wholeness, completeness, what makes us up, our core, everything about which is found within our being should be in Christ Jesus because we are to be found in Him.
We have our being is having the completeness or everything of the Christ in us and with us, which we already have through the new birth experience (being born again). But the second part of the story is the ability to have our character, words, and deeds springing out from His very life, the life He gave for and to us on the cross of Calvary.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I have my being from and with You, help me live Your very kind of life on earth, amen!
