Texas H.S. Football Star Apollos Hester took to social media and glorified God after his heartwarming inspirational speech about never giving up recently went viral.

The 17-year-old East View Patriots wide receiver wrote the following message on Facebook regarding God's loving nature in his most recent post.

"Don't tell God you have a big problem, tell your problem you have a big God. Hello everyone!" wrote Hestor via Facebook on September 25.

In addition, Hester further expressed his thoughts about God's everlasting love for humanity on social media.

"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake," wrote Hester on Facebook on September 24.

Previously, Hester's speech went viral after his team recently defeated the Vandergrift Vipers by a score of 42-41 on September 19.

"It took guts. It took an attitude - that's all it takes! That's all it takes to be successful is an attitude," said Hester to TWC News Austin reporter Lauren Mickler in an interview.

"Regardless of the situation, regardless of the score board, you're going to be successful because you put in all the time, all the effort, all the hard work, and you know that it's going to pay off. And if it doesn't pay off, you continue to give God the glory. If you still lose the game, you continue to get each other's back."

Hester also mentioned that despite the fact his squad was down 28-14 at the start of the second half, it was okay because they never gave up.

"No matter what the score was, we [were] going to finish hard," said Hester, "Regardless of the situation, regardless of the score board, you're going to be successful because you put in all the time, all the effort, all the hard work, and you know that it's going to pay off. And if it doesn't pay off, you continue to give God the glory. If you still lose the game, you continue to get each other's back.

Hester also gave some inspirational advice to people who are currently going through a difficult time in their respective lives.

"Win or lose, we realized that we were going to be alright - it was going to be OK ... If you fall down, just get up! If you can't get up, your friends are there to help you up. Your Mom is there, your Daddy's there - God's there ... It's going to be alright," said Hester.
