You may feel like you are losing if you don¡¯t fight back when others rankle loudly against you. You may feel like it is foolish to live honestly. But God surely blesses those who follow goodness with patience even though they feel like they are losing or that they are living foolishly at that time. Losing is actually a way to win, and serving is the way to become a person of greatness. This is the wisdom from above which leads us to the way of blessing. ¡°Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted¡± (Matthew 23:12).
