Victory

I'm not sure I know how victory feels. Certainly I've won contests and games and events in the past, and have accomplished much, but victory seems to be more than that.

I've heard people speak of victory in Christ. I don't have that same feeling. That victory is something undeserved.

I've heard people proclaim victory with hands held high. I don't have that same feeling. Sounds like boasting.

I've heard people sing songs of victory with loud voice. I don't have that same feeling. These songs are written with someone else's words.

Each chant, proclamation, spoken word or song of victory seems to be a taunt to someone less able or capable, a celebration of ego or a braggart's anthem. I'm thinking the feeling of victory should be absent.

I'm glad I don't know how victory feels.
