Isaiah 66:  I know their works and their thoughts, and I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and see my glory.

Hebrews 12:  So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.  Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.

Truth is time-bound, winning is fleeting, competition fails us, accumulations go to dust. Only love remains. Novalis says of it: “Love works magic/ It is the final purpose/ of the world story,/ The Amen of the universe.”
