Greatest Pitcher In The World (Sermon Illustration)

Your attitude changes how you see the world.

When you look at something, do you first see the positive or the negative?

Are you a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of person?

Maybe you need to change your perspective.

A boy, playing baseball alone, was heard to say, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world.” He tossed the ball into the air, swung and missed. “Strike one!” Undaunted, he picked up the ball, threw it into the air and said to himself, “I’m the greatest baseball hitter ever,” and he swung at the ball again. And again he missed. “Strike two!” He paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. Then a third time he threw the ball into the air. “I’m the greatest hitter who ever lived,” he said. He swung the bat hard again, missed a third time. He cried out, “Wow! Strike three—what a pitcher! I’m the greatest pitcher in the world!”
