We like to call attention to ourselves when we win at something, don’t we? We bask in the spotlight and never want the feeling to end.

When we are on the winning side of life, it’s the best. The strength of our character is formed in the difficult times. This is what gets us to the top eventually. The battle has been worth it.

Jesus had more wins in his life than anyone. He healed people, restored them, cured leprosy and raised the dead. Yet Jesus never called attention to himself. He wasn’t seeking his own glory, but gave it to the Father who sent him. Jesus was a great example of how to win with character.

I love it when athletes give credit to Jesus for their gifts. They do influence young people.

My encouragement to you is to keep the wins in perspective. Give credit to God. After all, everything good comes from him…
