There is so much emphasis on winning with sports and reality TV shows and etc. But being "the" winner is not part of our Heavenly Father's plan for us. He sent us here to learn and to help each other along the way.
I love these two thoughts from Garth Allred's book "Unlocking The Power of Faith." He said,
"Winning is the loneliest place in existence." And,
"Everyone wins who helps one another."
Why not cooperate instead of competing? Coming unto Christ involves giving if we want to receive, and listening if we want to be heard.
Brother Allred also said, "Whatever a man sets his heart and his trust on the most is his god. The antedote is: sharing, giving, extending ourselves to others. The lie is: there isn't enough. The truth is: there is enough and to spare. God will supply all our wants and needs."
The more we give to others, the more that comes back to us. I reflected in this "giving" in a post in June of 2010. Since that time I have really learned the blessing of giving more than ever before in my life. The Lord makes the abundance for us and all we have to do is give it and share it. It truly is a wonderful thing.
