“WINNING AND LOSING!”
Philippians 4:12-13  
“I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

I have observed an interesting trait of human nature. When someone is the winner of an event they tend to be congenial, happy, and will even show signs of generosity. Those same people can change dramatically when they lose. They become angry, bitter, and accusatory.

There needs to be a different way of responding for the believer in Jesus Christ. Our life is not our own (at least it should not be); we are Christ’s and whether we soar or suffer, we should have our eyes focused on Him.

We know that we will have victories in our life, but we can be equally sure that there will be times when we will experience loss. It is very important that our conduct not be dependent on winning or losing. In Christ we are always winners.

The next time you experience victory OR defeat in your life, just trust in the Lord with all your heart. He will use winning or losing to bring glory to His name.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
