TO ALL: Second Fiddle OR Nice guys/gals can finish second and win

"Love from the center of who you are: don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle." From Romans 12
The Message

A fiddle is a magnificent instrument. The wood is crucial for its success. The most tremendous wood possible for a fiddle is the wood that has endured high wind and very treacherous storms. The wood from these trees, cut down and put in a "Master's hand" becomes an awesome event. Properly carved, honed, dried, and oiled , these fiddles can go on to glorious productivity.
And---in the Master's hand this fiddle can practice integrity and humility by playing second fiddle. Showing deference to "first" fiddle actually makes the second fiddle more valuable---for it is the second fiddle's job to provide the harmony!
