There is a lot of talk about
winners and losers in our society today.? Everyone it seems
wants to be a winner.? Noone wants to be a loser.? Winners
are admired, sought after, and respected while losers are
rejected, looked down upon, and laughed at.? "If you aren??™t
a winner then you are nothing," I heard one person say.
This seemed
sad to me.? It seemed sad because I know that none of us are
looked down upon in God??™s eyes.? Everyone of us is somebody
in God??™s mind.? Each of us is a unique and special Child
that God loves equally and unconditionally.? Every one of us
has a place in God??™s heart.
If that
doesn??™t make each of us a winner then I don??™t know what does
I think
then that maybe we should redefine what a true winner is.?
It isn??™t the person with the biggest bank account, fanciest
car, and finest house.? A true winner is rather the person
with the biggest heart, most loving life, and most joyous
soul.? A true winner is one who helps the most, gives the
most, and loves the most.? A true winner is one who is not
only joyous and happy in their own life, but also helps
others to be joyous and happy in theirs as well.? A true
winner is one who makes this world a better place by sharing
their time, energy, talents, and love with everyone.? A true
winner is one who shows the rest of us the way to truly win
at life: by filling ourselves with love and joy and then
giving it freely to the world around us.
Be a winner
then.? Know that God loves you and sees you as special and
unique in all the world.? Rejoice in all that you have been
given.? Find joy in all that you do.? Give love freely and
unconditionally.? Help everyone you can.? Make this world a
better place just by being in it.
Take your
place as a loving, joyous winner in this life and in the
next.
