We encounter constant battle to make it through each day. Many, we observe, seem to have a winning life. Even we find ourselves with a winning scorecard on occasion. But it is that day when we lose that puts us down.
This perspective could, should, and will change.
Roman 5:1-5 is to be impressed upon our hearts as always true. When we win we win and when lose we win. No other system than God's dare poses such fascination, indeed.
Therefore, moms and dads who have children in sports, beauty contests, and other competitions, it would be good to note that losing has positive power. It is at these moments that the roots drive deep as trees to endure the wind. Should we deny such a trek and always live in protective mode from our children being offended, we will raise a generation of shallow and selfish adults.
Jesus was adamant about keeping our lives by losing them. We tend to think that went well in Jerusalem in olden days; but is of little significance with me or my child. It has very much to do with who we are, where we are, and what we are.
True winners learn to win in losing. This is the central nature of the church of Christ.
True winners win when we win and come out on top when others thought we lost. Keep the empty tomb of Jesus in mind. God isn't fooling. Winners win and losers win when our lives are embedded in the Resurrected One.
Press onward. Reach high. Give life a constant shot. And never take the backseat when anyone declares loss in your territory. Never. Never. We are so blessed by Father that, even when others assume we are beaten, they have no idea how we already experience victory in every moment.
The resurrection is that bouncy part of our spirits. Regardless of what tries to put us down, we will always bounce back via resurrection design.
