The Art of Losing

It’s frustrating when you don’t get what you want, or what you think you need, deserve, or are entitled to. I feel that we live in a society these days where we’re all a little too entitled – entitled to say what we want, entitled to do what we want, entitled to own what we want, entitled to believe what we want.

It takes a slice of humble pie each day for me to be reminded that when we “lose” our way to His way, there is no losing. There’s no one else I’d rather “lose” to than God. Wouldn’t you agree? Because if that were always the case, in the end, we all ultimately win. The art of “losing” to Christ is actually beautiful in that, what we may initially see as “losing” is just part of the journey to victory, which He’s already won. Our “loss” will always point towards His victory, His mercy, and His love for us.

My daily challenge when something doesn’t go my way is to think, God’s way is better – always has been, always will be, forever.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. [Romans 12:2]
