I am living in an imperfect world and I am daily reminded of my failures , mistakes and shortcomings. Life is harsh and sometimes one is left grasping at straws so to speak.
But as a child of God I am confident that He will complete what He started in me.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1;6 (BIBLE)
So I will look at ' Failure As The Back Door To Success"
The words of Peter Marshall are a good life motto.
"It is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail '.
Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost then to have done nothing and succeeded at it; better to have lost some battles than to have retreated from the war; better to have failed when serving God than to have succeeded when serving the devil. What a tragedy to climb the ladder of success only to discover that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall !
God specialises in the impossible. When we positively accept his grace our failures can be turned into success.Only a big God can do such big miracles.
