Love keeps families together, selfishness blows them apart. Champions understand the value of endurance. The literal meaning of endurance is abiding under. They failed to abide under the discipline of the game they agreed to play. Champions who refuse to eat contaminated grain have the inward strength to abide under God's game plan and accomplish His best.
True champions are gentle.
Champions give personal care appropriate to another's emotional needs. Gentleness is a work God does deep in our souls in which we accept His dealing with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting. This freedom manifests itself in an outward gentleness toward others. We're no longer seen as fighting and clawing to reach our place in the sun. True champions have determination to keep tracking to the prize.
