Filipino Christian boxer Manny Pacquiao has moved on from the much-hyped Fight of the Century against American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. by doting on his family, going to church, and spending time reading and sharing the Gospel.
Pacquiao's activities can be found on his Instagram account (@mannypacquiao), where he posted several pictures of his family and the Scriptures he loves. One of the latest photos he shared was of him and his son Israel spending some quality time together.
"Baby Israel loves his papa. Thank you Lord for my family. May we serve you with our lives. God Bless everyone," he captioned the photo.
Prior to that, he shared a photo collage of himself with wife Jinkee and their baby boy all dressed up for church. "Thank you Lord for this Sunday you have given to us to worship you!" he wrote.
The Filipino champ also shared the Bible verse Isaiah 25:1 that says: "Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago."
Another verse that has touched Pacquiao's heart came from the book of Proverbs 4:25, and it says: "Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you."
He explained that the verse inspires people not to focus on their problems and troubles, and instead keep their eyes intently on the Lord.
Pacquiao seems to do just that in his life. Despite the number of lawsuits currently piling up against him, as well as the fact that he is unable to fight for the meantime due to his injured right shoulder, Pacquiao is determined to praise God and thank Him for the shower of blessings instead of dwelling on his life's misfortunes.
"I love my family so much! Thank you Lord for your blessings," he wrote.
