Tiny competitors shared an adorable moment on the playing field. The youngsters were in the middle of a heated, competitive game when they engaged in an unexpected and sweet display of sportsmanship. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the two small children did that will surely be the cutest thing you’ll see today.

We’re constantly told that competition is good and necessary. When people are forced to compete against one another, their best is always the result. Competition is healthy. The cream always rises to the top. The best person or team will win out in the end.

Those are just some of the clichés often heard when someone discusses and comments on competition. But are they true? It would seem that competition frequently brings out the worst in many people—competitors, coaches and fans. Look at how horribly fans treat one another simply because they support different teams. Players and coaches, when a call doesn’t go in their favor, will lose their minds and go berserk on the referees, blaming them if the eventual outcome is a loss. Sportsmanship and simply acting like a decent human being far too often go out the window. 

However, a clip posted on social media shows two youngsters who shared a sweet and loving embrace in the middle of a soccer game. They exhibited what it means to be a good sport and to be concerned for your fellow competitors.

In the clip, a group of youngsters is kicking around a soccer ball, trying to get it to go in one direction. A little girl wearing a blue uniform attempts to kick the ball downfield, but it doesn’t go as planned. Her reaction shows that she’s upset that her efforts did not work, and she stops playing immediately. A girl on the other team stops and gives her a warm and loving embrace. She even appears to kiss her on the cheek and then gives her another hug.

What a sweet display that reminds us to keep things in perspective regarding sports and competition.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.
