“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.” — Robert Louis Stevenson
I understand this statement. I truly loved poker when I was young. Even if I was losing, I was enjoying the game.
What kind of hand did David, Joseph, Jonah or Gideon have? Maybe you have a hand like that. Just put on a smile and play it as best you can.
Hebrews 11:36-38
Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
It’s not how the world sees winners and losers, but how God sees them.
Give it some thought.
