Win Or Loss

When facing a “win or loss” challenging situation What matters most is your heart and honest intention… Are you motivated by God’s love or by personal ambition? May you find yourself pleasing Him with your earnest dedication. Knowing that you can either win or lose in your sacrifices What matters most is for you to go through the right process... Are you gaining or wasting in your experiences? May you find yourself engaging in wise choices. As you regard that you win when sowing with faith’s bountifulness What matters most is your diligence coupled with zealousness… Are you toiling well or enjoying pleasures of slothfulness? May you find yourself enriched with good works’ fruitfulness. Since you actually win, and not lose in genuine loving What matters most is your right attitude in giving… Are you truly a blessing to others or in selfishness’ delving? May you find yourself reaching-out while God’s grace, receiving. Because of “always winning, never losing in labour’s excellence” creed What matters most is your truthfulness in word and in deed... Are you merely showing off or striving for excellence as you lead? May you find yourself doing your best part, devoid of greed. Thus, for you to triumph* joyously and lose peacefully What matters most is your sincere goal purposefully… Are you aspiring for the temporal or the eternal gloriously? May you find yourself living for God in serving people gladly. *2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ… Dramatic Monologue in Rhyme form May 6, 2019 5th place, "NA re-run" Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton; judged on 6/27/2019.
