GLORIOUS FAILURES
Failure is good for the soul; it removes the delusion of boasting. Mike Maeshiro
What do you do with your failures?
Do they inspire you or deflate you?
Do they free you or bind you?
Do they define you or refine you?
"Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success." Unknown
As you read this, I pray that you consider your worst failure and realize that restoration is waiting for you to turn around.
The One who can change larva into butterflies can transform your mistakes into victory.
As I write this, I wonder what would have happened if Simon Peter had kept running after denying Jesus.

What have you learned from your mistakes that can enrich others' lives?
Lord, may we see that You are perfect and define who we are by what Jesus has done and not by what we have done. May we rise from every failure to glorify you. Amen
