Failure

I could go on an on about this subject. I could write a dissertation on this subject and have enough left over for a book series. I am no stranger to failure. I fail every day, even when I have tried my hardest. Sometimes my failure is tangible - something at work or in my homework. Sometimes it is spiritual - something I can't see, but can feel.

Regardless, failure can be crippling if we let it. When we fail, it can feel like we will never come back from it. But that isn't true. And let me tell you why.

Failure isn't the end.




Failure isn't the end.

God is still writing your story, and He already knew about the failure.



I know!

God already knew about the failure. Does it disappoint Him when we don't do what we are supposed to? Yes. Does it surprise Him? No. Nothing ever surprises Him. And He's already got a plan for the failure.

That doesn't mean we should stop trying our best. But we can give ourselves a little grace when we fail, because God certainly does.

So, we fail. We apologize. We get back up. We move on.

Failure isn't final. And it certainly doesn't define us.

So keep going. Don't give up.
