Jesus challenges me to have courage and to not be afraid. That is God’s goal for me, every day.

I must wake up thankful and anticipating what Jesus will do. Jesus has plans for me that I don’t even understand.

Boldness is his way. Jesus sees what God is doing and does only that. That is what Jesus wants for me as well.

May I be bolder today.

May I see only what Jesus wants and have the courage to do what he commands me to do.

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”

1 Corinthians 13, Apostle Paul Sayings, Failure, Jesus, Love

Some people hear the message in their mind. “I am a failure”.  Hearing it doesn’t make it true. We don’t want to go there. God is not that way. It is not in His nature.  He doesn’t see us that way at all.

God is perfect and he is in a good mood. His love for me never ever fails. His heart is to love me no matter what.

God gave his son Jesus who died and rose up from the dead conquering death for me that I could be a new creation in Him. I don’t have to keep repeating the failings of the past.  I am not a failure in Him and His kingdom. His perfect love of me banishes fear from me completely.

May I experience His love that never fails. May I know who I am in Him. May I love others the way He loves me.

Love never fails .  1 Corinthians 13:8

Winston Churchill knew a little about this. He did succeed in the end. His country, and the free world, is forever grateful.

Today’s success is the enemy of our future. The failure to recognize God’s hand in our life is missing God’s goal for us. Humility is the way of wisdom.

God confidence, not self confidence is what is needed.

I will not allow yesterday’s success to lull me into today’s complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. ~~Og Mandino

Fear

Fear can and will cripple us.

We will make mistakes.

Will we learn from our mistakes?

The challenge is to embrace the learning.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one. ~~Elbert Hubbard

Failure

It is not all about being successful. Focusing on success holds us back.

We do need to be bolder. Getting up to bat, swinging at the ball and not worrying about the home run is important.

We learn by failing.

We grow by not being afraid.

May we learn to be bolder.

We need a lot more failures. Failures that don’t kill us make us bolder. ~~Seth Godin

It is not about failing.

We know this but at our core, many times we don’t believe it.

It is true.

It is not about failing. It is not about succeeding. It is about being true to God.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. ~~Thomas Alva Edison

There is way too much emphasis on success. It isn’t permanent.

And … there is way too much emphasis on failure. It isn’t fatal.

Of course, you don’t get any of this understanding in our media and culture.

Life is about relationships. Relationships with God and relationships with our friends and family.
