Our culture looks down on failure. It can be a harsh judge when we don’t measure up. I would say that God understands failure, but it does not change how He feels for us. The Bible is full of examples of failed people and failed plans. God still uses those people, and God can rescue those plans. I am not saying that failure does not bring a price, just look at Genesis 3. What I am saying is that no failure is final. God has a plan to redeem, to buy back His people. He wants us to acknowledge our failure and learn from it. God sees us with new eyes. He does not allow the failures of our past to dim His view of us now. God is always ready to start over with you. We need to be ready to start over with Him. Remember, we will live with the consequences of our failures, but our failures do not have the final word. God does! I hope that this encourages you and I hope that God will give you the strength and vision to succeed!

God’s desire is to replace your fear with hope, your worry with contentment and you tears to joy. You need to grow to learn to trust God, for He loves you more than you can possibly imagine.
