Thoughts on winning and losing from a Christian perspective, in light of the election

Some people have everything, from a worldly perspective.

Certainly I don't have the most beautiful face or the best fashion sense; I don't win any "-est" contests. Who does, though? Who "wins"?

Perhaps the way to "win" is to be the best I can be in Christ. Father, teach me to be content with imperfection, rather than seeking "perfection" by works, which derives from pride...knowing that I am made perfect in Christ. Help me rest in that truth.

Comparing oneself to others isn't wise; there is always someone better, and always someone worse.

Create in me a thankful and content heart, instead of always striving for more; let me only strive toward God and His purpose. 

May I never sell out and become a walking advertisement, conformed to this world.
