Failure




There are days when everything you work on seems to fail

Your computer suddenly broke when you were working on your essays

Your bank transaction was just hard to process

Your relationship came to an end after so much fights and hardships

And you suddenly felt like a failure..


You started to wonder why do you have to struggle for everything
You started to questions why can‘t you get all things in an order
You felt weak, you felt tired and you felt hopeless..

Then you looked around and thought to yourself “Hey, everybody is dealing the same issues”.
Different but the same, the battles of life..
Some easier, some harder
Work issues, dreams and future, relationships, marriages, and even death..

You came back reflecting on your own life
Even some major issues in your life will not be the end of the world
It will be the end if you let it to be so.

You can rewrite your essays again, there is still time and who knows if this one will be even better
You can fix your computer or get a new one, God is a provider, trust Him, you will lack nothing
If you lose all the data, pictures and everything, take heart, nothing lasts in this temporary world anyways.

You can go to other banks tomorrow to try your transaction again
You can be at peace about your relationship with God when your relationship with people is falling apart, He will never leave you nor forsake you, His love is unconditional, He is faithful and kind.

You will know how to do things better after you fail
Take heart when you fail
Grieve a little enough time
Take the pieces of the broken failed things
Get up with a new peace and joy because you know that failure can make you a better and stronger person if you let yourself be as you are trusting God to lead you in His mercy and love.

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

Romans 5: 3-5
