10/18/09 – Facing the Fear of Failure

We live in a world that has very little time for losers. We as a society worship winners and achievers. Failure by most is considered the unpardonable sin! This emphasis on success and accomplishment puts enormous amounts of stress on people.  Many will do anything in order to succeed.

God’s word is clear that there is no perfect person upon this earth and that all have failed at one time or another. Failure is Universal and is a part of life.

What we do with our failures is much more important than the failure itself. The successful, are those who choose to get up after they have fallen and make a clear decision to learn from it and move on. They simply don’t quit when they blow it or mess up.

The Bible is full of stories of those who once were failures who later with God’s help rose above them and were used greatly! This can be true of our lives as well. Don’t allow the fear of failure keep you from experiencing all that God has for you!
