Have you ever failed an exam or a test? I remember taking a Physics exam and obviously hadn’t been paying any attention at all because I managed 2 out of a hundred! There is failing, and failing spectacularly!
But God isn’t grading us today, He is for us and not against us. He is rooting for us. He’s the God who takes us out of the miry clay of sin and guilt, out of failure or depression or sickness or poverty, and He puts us on the rock of Jesus, on The Word Himself. He dusts us off, holds on to our hand tightly as He leads us on, and as we look up into His loving face He tells us we can do all things through Christ who is strengthening us.😊
He reminds us of who we really are because of who He has made us to be. We are new creations in Christ, the old person has gone, crucified with Him and we are now Overcomers, More than Conquerors through Christ.
If we’ve failed in the past, He wants us to know failure is just an event, it’s not who we are. He wants us to have a new perspective to see ourselves the way He does - Sons and Daughters of His very own, empowered by His grace, filled with His Holy Spirit, qualified and anointed to do all He calls us to do. In fact, He sees us as a success going somewhere to succeed because we’re joined to Jesus, because He is with and in us.
We need to remember we have the God who never fails us, with us, every moment of the day. He has promised to never abandon us or let us down. He is the ultimate Good Father, the Faithful One we can always run to and know His arms are open wide to receive us with His unconditional love, and He has mercy for every mistake. It doesn’t come any better than that.😊
