THE F WORD
What word do you have in mind? Faith? Fear? The "F" word I have in mind is Failure.
I'm writing today to let you know that you're not a failure. You're really not a failure unless you believe you're a failure. Often times we think failure is the end of the story. In God's kingdom failures are turned into triumphs if you allow faith to move you forward!
Do you suffer from fear of failure? I don't! I can't fail. Let me explain, as long as I believe God and obey God, I can't fail. Even if I fail, I still can't fail, because my future is ahead of me not behind me and my future is not even in the present moment. There will always be momentary set backs but that does not make you a failure.
Failure for me has always marked new beginnings. If you fail the test at school you'll have a new tomorrow to study for the next test. How often do we invest our identity in trying to become what the whole world wants us to become and we never discover who God has already made us in Christ.
The sooner you stop trying to please everyone the sooner you'll be able to please God. it is simple! God has never failed nor will He ever fail. Failure is trying to please people! You will fail 99.9% of the time when you try to please other people. People pleasers are failures because they fail to please God.
In God's own special way of treating His precious children success requires a willingness to yield to God's will, which sometimes means falling short as we discover the journey ahead.
Never write yourself off. People pleasers are easily written off because their confidence and assurance comes from others and not God alone. If God alone becomes your source of success then nothing you do will fail because it has God's approval and sponsorship.
Faith is the "F" word that eliminates "Failure". Place your confidence in God and all your failures will end in triumph
