In the world, winning is defined by glory, fame, money, and power. In God's kingdom, knowing and accepting Christ is winning. I am happy that Manny openly proclaims His faith. Manny, like all of us, is a work in progress. This day in sports history brings us to a point of reflection on what winning is all about.
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36)
I remember Job. This man lost everything, yet because of his faithfulness was blessed more than whatever he lost. Christ won over death and sin by dying on the cross. The most humbling and humiliating of deaths. But through this, Christ won the victory for our salvation.
We have to win over pride and sin. In most cases, to be able to do this, we become "losers" in the world's eyes. Let us win for the Lord and for His glory. It might not always mean getting the approval of people, but what matters is the approval of God. Let us then realize what need to be losing in our lives, so we can be winning to God's favor.

And napakaganda po ng attitude ni Manny na pagkatapos na-announce yung winner, pumunta sya sa corner nya at nagpapuri pa din sa Panginoon. Sana ganun din tayo lahat in the face of failures and adversities. :)
