Listening to coaches in business and sports there is a lot of language around upping one’s game. It’s about going to the next level, striving to get better, and see what one is capable of accomplishing.  While I would not call God a coach because it seems a little two small of a role to place upon God, she does encourage us. In God’s world, upping one’s game is not just about actions, it is about being.  We look into our hearts to define ourselves and acting from a place of truth. Upping our game is not just reacting to what happens but taking it and being the truth of who we are despite our initial inclinations or expectations of the world around us.  Upping our love, upping our compassion, upping our level of forgiveness towards ourselves and others.  Showing up with the core knowledge resonating from deep within us and being who God designed us to be.  Sometimes we get fatigued and it feels hard.  Sometimes we find muscles we did not know we had.  Sometimes the outcomes are not what we expect.  Upping our games means we are not competing against anyone but ourselves.  How can I up my kindness today?  How can I extend forgiveness where I was not able to extend it yesterday?  What would it look like to up my level of self-compassion?  What is a possible way to be the truest expression of my heart today when I find myself afraid?  Upping our game in God’s world calls for us to rely on God to remind us who we are and trust that God knows what God is talking about when we sense the whisper of our hearts: I know and believe in the truth of who you are.
