Daily Bible Reflections - November 16,2012


THE BIGGEST LOSER
 
“Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.” – Luke 17:33
 
Have you seen or heard about the show, The Biggest Loser?
Overweight contestants vie to lose weight. The one who loses the most pounds win the prize!
Great title. Great concept.
This somehow applies to spirituality too.
You want to win big?
Learn to lose big!
Lose yourself and serve others more.
Lose your pride and ego and forgive.
And ask for forgiveness more.
Lose your judgments and biases and be more accepting of others.
Lose your enemies. Win them as friends.
Because losing can oftentimes lead to the biggest rewards!
Jesus lost His life on the cross.
And we gained our eternal reward.
Lose now.
Win big! Alvin Barcelona (alvinbarcelona@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:
When you lose at something, do you see the delayed and bigger rewards ahead? Lose something today that will cause others to win more.
 
Father in heaven, I pray for self-discipline and selflessness to delay my gratification for the true, bigger and more lasting rewards You have for me. Amen.
 
St. Margaret of Scotland, pray for us.
