The Christian basketball player Jeremy Lin said he was full of gratitude and surrender in the past months with twists and turns.
On November 10, Lin posted on social media, “FOUR longggg months, but finally today was the first time I played contact basketball since I left SFO on 7/30 for China. Amazing feeling to re-join the team and hoop again.”
“The last few months was full of surprises and difficulties. My Asia trip canceled, JLIN 2 shoe launch gone, missed a huge portion of the CBA season. Gettin COVID, fainting twice, first concussion ever, appendicitis, the worst back spasms I've ever experienced, lost over 10 lbs, 11 weeks of confined quarantine in a small room, and more stress than I could bear. Oh ya, and no laundry during that time ha #stankkkk,” the Taiwanese-American celebrity added.
Lin continued, “But it taught me a LOT. The main lesson being the best life is lived through gratitude and surrender. A deeper gratitude only gained through trials. Gratitude for food to eat, a bed to sleep on, a phone, technology to call family/friends, air to breathe, time to live.”
“Surrender to understand that as a human, in the scope of this universe, I'm so freakin incredibly small, insignificant and totally not in control of so many things in life. Surrender to trust God with my now and my future. Full surrender, living life w open hands.”
“P.S. I attended a Chinese class in the hospital, so I can write (posts) on social media instead of translation. You teach me in case I write something wrong or with non-standard grammar.”
A fan commented, “The heaven must entrust you with heavy responsibilities, otherwise it won’t sharpen you. You are our example.”
Another wrote, “Your Chinese writing has improved so much! You start to publish a long composition!”
“Come on, you will be better and better!" read one more message.

2021年11月10日，林书豪在个人社交媒体上总结近4个月的波折生活，虽然常常感觉心力交瘁和无能为力，但是还是充满感恩，也学习到要交托给上帝。
他在个人社交媒体上写道：
“4个月！
我730从旧金山起飞，很久没能够打球。
今天是第一天终于能对抗了。
虽然身体还没回到以前的状态可是我太感恩了。
这两天睡不着觉，太期待打球。
我队友今天也让我得分了 哈哈。
往回看这4个月有很多惊喜，很多安排被打乱了。
身体从来没在那么短时间遇到那么多困难。
得了新冠，晕了两次，脑震荡一次，阑尾炎，十一周的隔离，和很多很多压力。
亚洲行取消了，CBA赛季前几场打不了，又见不到球迷了。
这段时间我经常是心力交瘁和无能为力，很是坎坷。
可是这些经历都给我上了很重要的一课。
不要觉得人生里面的祝福是理所当然。
更深的去感受每一天。
有饭吃，床睡觉，手机，机会看到家人朋友，活着都是祝福！
我们每个人真的很渺小所以我只能做到的就是控制我能控制的，别的就交给上帝。
我每天都比昨天好。
谢谢，谢谢，谢谢球迷的支持。
P.S.我在医院有上中文课所以我现在社交媒体自己写，不靠翻译了。
所以我写错和语法不太标准的时候，你们来教我吧。”
粉丝纷纷留言鼓励道：
“上天一定对你有众人，不然不会一直磨砺你。
你是我的精神榜样。”
“中文进步太多了吧！
都开始发大作文了！”
“加油，越来越好！”
基督徒球员林书豪面对波折的生活依然充满感恩地“交给上帝”
