When I was in Kansas City everything was going well for me. My marriage was good and I was very successful in Baseball but something was missing in my life. That something was Christ. Every human being is born with a little defect in his heart. That defect is a hole in the heart that can only be filled by Jesus Christ. One night at a Bible Study in a Kansas City hotel room after a home game, the hole in my heart was filled. Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart was the biggest decision that I ever made. I'd been feeling like I wanted to have a better life, and I found it in God. It's not that everything is perfect now or that I don't have struggles anymore. But it's been easier going through it with Christ. God continues to change me everyday. Little by little He is taking away the things that He doesn't want me to do. What was important to me before is no longer important because I found a better life in God.

It is difficult to play in New York. Every time I take the field I think of my favorite verse-"I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). I tell Him, "I'm doing this in Your name." I don't worry about so many things, I play to please God and if I have a good game I give the glory to God. If I have a bad game I continue to give Him the honor and glory because He has control over everything.

That night in Kansas City I understood that we are all sinners. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We can, however, be forgiven for our sins because of Jesus Christ's payment for our sins on the cross. "But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). When I die, I know that I'm going to heaven because I accepted Christ and He lives in me. I believe, because I'm saved, that I'm going to spend eternity with Him. God loves you too and He wants you to accept Jesus into your heart. Don't be afraid simply trust Him.
