Failure
I've already failed at my "new beginning." In fact, that's what brings me to this post... Failure! As I pondered the fact that I've already failed to update my blog, I got to thinking about how we fail everything.
There is nothing that we do perfectly. Even when we do a phenomenal job on something, we still fail in one aspect or another. Maybe we do such a good job that we become prideful. Or maybe in the attempt to do something well, we lose track of the real point of what we're doing.
Mostly, we fail to give all glory to God. Even if we do perform perfectly in every aspect, the second we fail to acknowledge that it was only by God's grace that we were able to do so, we still fail. If we get so caught up in the moment that we cease to keep Christ ahead of us, we fail.
This seems like a depressing thought, but it really isn't. Although the fact that we fail to honor our perfect God perfectly may be depressing, the knowledge that His love for us is unchanging despite that is a wonderful thought indeed. Even though we constantly fail Him, He never gives up on us! All He does is give us chance after chance, and the strength to try again.
What a great God He is!
Please God... give me the strength to try again.

What a wonderful Savior we have; one who loves us despite our failures. I need to be reminded of this, seeing how I fail on a daily basis.
Good post! ^_^ Don't get discouraged, your on the home stretch with your school, I don't really expect much until that's over. Don't give up! You can do it!
