It's not that you fail, it's what you do with the failure.

No one wants to fail, or to be called a failure.  


I love this quote by Theodore Roosevelt "The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything."


So, in order to fail, we have to take action, and even though we fail at times, those failures should not keep us from our effective service for God.  I know with myself, most of my failures have brought me to another level of faith.  I call it a 'growth tool.'  We learn from our failure, we confess it to God and then we use this experience in an even greater way.


Our failure is not the end of an effective life with Christ.  We should rest in the grace of God and use the failure as a backdoor to success through growth and understanding.


We'll all fail at some point.  Get back up and be even stronger in Christ for it.


Psalm 73:26 - "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
