"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
Philippians 3:8
The thought of being willing to lose everything in order to win Christ is a powerful idea, although of course we always want to win without losing anything. :) It's a good thing to consider as we go through the ups and downs of life. It's sort of the same idea as the happy ending, or everything working together for our good, but perhaps in a clearer way on some level.
Thinking about wins and losses helps us to see real loss in our lives and realize that it is normal, and inevitable, but that those losses along the way are still leading us to an overall win, because, with God, all will balance out in the end.
Today, no matter what we've lost, let's remember what we are striving to win, and not allow other less important goals to get in the way.
