FAILURE

 

God often

Gives us the tools

To be successful in life

 

The words to say

The words to write

 

The health to do

What needs to be done

The financial resources

To accomplish what needs to be done

The spiritual/emotional strength

To restore broken relationships

 

But what

If for some unknown reason

God wants us to fail

In a particular area

Or in ALL areas of our life

 

What then

 

The Bible says,

“Do not be afraid or discouraged

For the Lord, my God

Is with you

He will not fail you

Or forsake you

Until all the work

For the service of the Lord

Is finished”                                                              1 Chronicles 28:20

 

“I will maintain

My love to him forever

And my covenant with him

Will NEVER fail”                                                         Psalm 89:20

 

But what

If your intentions are pure

What if

Your intentions are totally unselfish

Your intentions

Are for GOD’S LOVE

To reenter---to what at times

Seems to be a God forsaken world

 

What then

 

I imagine

This is how Christ felt

When he uttered,

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”

 

We must know

That through faith

That God has a plan

For our lives---for our world

 

A plan

That can make everything turn out perfect

Even when it looks like

Our life---and our world

Are turning out all wrong

 

“Every good and perfect work

Is from above”                                                         James 1:17

 

Jesus Christ

Was the perfect sacrifice for us

A GIFT OF PERFECT LOVE

For all of us

 

Failure---there is no such thing

In a life totally devoted to God

 

God CAN AND WILL

Have the FINAL WORD

In us and for us

If only we let him

 

“And we know that in ALL things

God works for the GOOD

Of those who love him

Who have been called

According to his purpose”                                                       Romans 8:28

 

Failure---no such thing

In a life and love---given freely to God
