El ala defensiva de los Houston Texans, Will Anderson Jr., cree que Dios puede usar a cualquiera para Su gloria, incluso a aquellos que están encarcelados.

“…solo estar sentado aquí, Dios literalmente toma a los menos probables y los usa para difundir Su palabra”, dijo el atleta a los reclusos de la prisión de San Quentin en un video de God Behind Bars, un ministerio cristiano de prisiones que “existe para presentar a los reclusos a Jesús y conectarlos con la iglesia local”.

“Y ha habido tantos momentos oscuros en mi vida en los que pienso en David. Y digo: ‘Dios, Tú me pusiste aquí. Yo no pedí nada de esto'”, continuó Anderson Jr.

“Y ustedes son una gran inspiración para mí, porque yo lucho a diario. Y digo: ‘Dios, ¿estás seguro?’ Pero en Su Palabra, Dios dice que somos Sus obras maestras. Él dijo: ‘Los he creado a Mi imagen‘”, animó. “Este año, más que cualquier otro año de mi vida, he llegado a conocer a Jesucristo por quien Él es, no por lo que el mundo dice que es, no por lo que la iglesia dice que es, sino por lo que Su Palabra dice que es”.

Aunque Anderson Jr. tiene títulos como PFWA Defensive Rookie of the Year (2023) y AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (2023), así como un Pro Bowl, ninguno de esos elogios se compara con la alegría de conocer a Cristo.

“Me siento tan abrumado de alegría este año porque dije: ‘Dios, que nuestra luz brille tan intensamente ante los demás que cuando los demás nos vean, Señor, glorifiquen Tu nombre’. Y ver cómo he impactado, cómo he sido una inspiración para el reino. Eso es de lo que estoy más orgulloso. Dios realmente ha estado obrando”, compartió.

“Lo que Dios estaba haciendo entonces, todavía lo está haciendo ahora. Cómo Dios todavía estaba cambiando vidas entonces, Él está cambiando vidas ahora. Y entrar aquí y ver todas las vidas que Él ha cambiado, todas las personas que Él ha tocado, ha sido tan hermoso de ver”, continuó Anderson Jr. “Así que estoy muy humilde, hombre, como un joven de 24 años de ser mostrado en el escenario y estar en esta sala con un grupo de hombres que entregaron sus vidas a Cristo, me da tanta esperanza y tanta inspiración saber que Dios todavía está trabajando”.

La fe es el núcleo de todo lo que hace Anderson Jr.

“Mientras mantengas a Dios primero, mientras sigas buscando a Dios, buscando esa fe y construyendo a las grandes personas que te rodean, el cielo es el límite para ti”, animó a principios de este año.

Es poderoso ver a un atleta profesional como Anderson Jr. hablar sobre su necesidad de Cristo y animar a otros a buscar una relación con Él.
