With 2022 coming to a close and a new year and New Year’s resolutions approaching, pro-life football star Tim Tebow is urging people to live for God and find their God-given purpose in life.
The Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback just published a one-year devotional for adults called “Mission Possible One-Year Devotional: 365 Days of Inspiration for Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose.” He wants the book and his message to motivate people to serve God in new ways.
“My hope for you is that you begin to live your life with a deeper sense of purpose, meaning and significance than ever before and make your life count,” said Tebow. “Today, you can begin to live your life on a trajectory that sets you up to accomplish feats of eternal purpose.”
Tebow has a serious question for every Christian.
“How many times have you woken up on Christmas morning, opened gifts from loved ones, talked about how much you loved the gifts — then just left them there in their boxes to collect dust?”
FoxNews has more on Tebow’s message:
Gifts are given with love and are meant to be enjoyed, even if you didn’t ask for them. Now, how often have you tapped into the gifts God has given you, only to put them aside where they would never be used? God has given each of us special gifts.
Whatever the case, even if you’re not sure your gifts are worth much, God has given the many members of one body unique gifts to use for the purpose of serving one another.

Are you using your gifts, or are you hiding them?
A mission-possible life involves boldness and risk taking.
Even if it feels scary, make it a point to showcase the gifts God has given you for the purpose of furthering His kingdom.
The pro-life movement is filled with Christians using their gifts to save babies, help women or support those who need love and help.
And Tebow himself has promoted life, affirmed the dignity of people with Down Syndrome and helped people with medical care and support since his mother rejected abortion.
Pam Tebow and her husband were Christian missionaries in the Philippines in 1985 and they prayed for “Timmy” before she became pregnant. Pam entered into a coma after she contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in a contaminated food or drink. The treatment for the medical condition would require strong medications that doctors told Pam had caused irreversible damage to Tim — so they advised her to have an abortion.
The doctors believed there was danger to Pam and that the baby would not survive, or if he did, would have very serious problems. His parents went to the best doctor in their area of the Philippines. The doctor told his mother in a slow monotone that “An abortion is the only way to save your life.”
As Tim says in his book, “According to [the doctor], the ‘mass of fetal tissue’ or ‘tumor’—me—had to go.”
Tebow refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted.
Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and she prayed for a healthy baby, but left that up to God. After Tim was born, the doctor who delivered him said only a small part of the placenta was attached, but it was “just enough to keep your baby nourished all these months.”
After birth, both Pam and Tim faced serious challenges. Pam said, “We were concerned at first because he was so malnourished.” But, as the world knows, Tim surpassed that to become a celebrated athlete winning the Heisman Trophy and leading the Denver Broncos to the playoffs.
