Failures

Failures can bring us down, but only temporarily. One must get up after each fall to start again knowing Someone up there is looking after us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failures are not the end of your life's projects and dreams, they are lessons to be learned and are the stepping stones to success. Nobody succeeded without failing first. Don't lose heart over small things, the big struggles are yet to come. Come, get up I will carry you for awhile, while you get your emotions back in order.

Be strong, don't lose hope easily. Pause for awhile and think, "what would God want me to know from this?" Pray for enlightenment and guidance so the Holy Spirit will open your eyes, mind, heart and spirit to the possibilities in your predicament because not all of them were meant to stop you. Some of them are opportunities for you to choose from for better gain in knowledge and experience.

Don't ever dismiss a seemingly bad situation because behind it may be the road to success that you are looking and waiting for. Just like a book, don't judge a book by its cover, open it and see what lies beyond.

Don't be afraid to open doors and windows of opportunities, for how can you choose what is best if you don't know what's behind those unopened opportunities? Never be timid because I am right beside you, I will snatch you back if you are going to fall. Be emboldened by my presence, not that you'll grab every opportunity that comes your way but so that you can choose wisely what is the best. Quality counts not quantity. Choose opportunities that will give glory and honor to My name.

Do whatever you choose to do with great passion and enthusiasm, give it your all not just a bland rendition of a supposedly magnificent and delectable dish. Give it your own distinctive flair and stamp it with a dedication for Me. Nothing could be more pleasing to me eyes, receiving the best of the talents I gave you. Through that you will glorify my name.

Failures, don't worry about them. Get up, brush the dust off your knees and walk with me again. We still have a long way to go.
