Saint Thomas the Divine on Winners and Losers.

Everybody would probably like to know what it takes to be a winner in life; folk have no time for nonsense, after all. What exactly is a winner anyway? There are as many points of view on this as there are people on earth it seems what with all the different religions and standards.

Well, to answer this question, all you have to do is look at what the opposite of a winner is. Believe me, as an angel of the living God, I am fully qualified to teach you about the differences between the two.

A loser is anybody that does not expect life to be perfect; winners - the opposite of losers - know that it is; this is all. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, know for sure that the life we live is perfect because God created life; how then could it not be perfect. Life, to the contrary of what many believe, is absolutely this; it's the people in it that aren't most of the time which is why you have to be careful about who you listen to. Understand that every winner merely wants you to be perfect, they don't expect you to be! While winners don't expect you to be perfect, we do, however, expect that you will try to be. A loser, on the other hand, expects you to be absolutely perfect even when your life is a living hell - even without the one thing you truly need to sail through life which is love. Know for sure that God is no loser. This is why he sent His only son to die for us.

A lot of people don't like how I try to get everyone down here to be perfect and why I try to be myself. Some folk don't like perfect, you know what I mean? Well, the reason I try to get everybody to be perfect is because I love people. I want to see everyone on the face of the earth to shine like the stars in the sky - like Mariah Carey or Keyshia Cole or P. Diddy or Frank Sinatra or any of a number of other superstars - like my blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. Only perfect after all is Christian, only perfect is Jewish, only perfect goes to heaven, only perfect is god or goddess, only perfect lives for ever and ever, only perfect is infallible, only perfect loves God or you or me, only perfect is a real man or woman, only perfect can, does or ever will rule here on earth!

Anyway, know that life is perfect because it springs from the soul of Jesus; in fact it is the one thing you can depend on. Now you have the key to achieve total success in life which is the achievement of your dreams, and not just what you need! You can depend on life, for it is a mighty, holy, enduring thing; it's folk you can't always depend on. The secret thing is that life is Jesus; this is how we who understand know exactly who God was, is and ever shall be; therefore, hear O Israel, the Lord, the Lord thy God is one; love Him with all thy heart, all the mind, all thy soul and all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thyself!

One thing you need to understand here is that, non obstante religion, the basic thing that makes losers losers is that they never read, especially the Bible. If you want to be a winner, you must read for as many hours throughout your day, seven days a week, as you can. On the Sabbath, however, you may only do leisure reading, for it is the one kind of reading you can do any day. Read everything - books, magazines, whole dictionaries, whole encyclopedias, your mail, liner notes- everything you can get your blessed hands on and then read the local paper. Do this every day, and I guarantee you will be very, very successful in life!

Please remember, dear ones, that despite the gross contradictions, massive anomalies, and real or apparent hypocrisy present in the Churches of Christ (Roman, Eastern, Protestant, et. al.) and in the world, God is real; therefore, have faith in God, be obedient to God, give generously and unceasingly, pray for what you want and go for what you know! Winners have faith in God, so remember to have this. L'chiam. Anyway, life's winner is simply the Christian on the planet because He's the owner of it and I mean every last bit of it.
