Sometimes, Losing means Gaining in the presence of God
Losing is not bad, but it is a matter of perspective. When you lose, you feel like a part of you has been torn apart or taken away from you. What’s worse is that you feel like what you have been working so hard for suddenly fades like nothing happened.
