Topic: Failure

It's like focusing on the coffee cup. If you're walking and you focus on the coffee cup, you'll spill. You're so focused on not spilling you put your eyes on the cup... and you end up spilling. But if you have your eyes on where you're going, the coffee doesn't spill! It's awesome! When we look at our failures and we dwell on our failures, we fail. But when we look at Jesus... This is life in Jesus! He has done all the work! He has forgiven us! Don't focus on your failures. God doesn't! Why should you?

Have you ever done that? Have you set out trusting God, having faith in God, only to have a plan B in your hip pocket? If God promises it He will fulfill it!

It's hard to share Jesus with other people when we're caught up in our failures. I mean, you go to work and you're like, "Hey, why don't you come to Bible Study with me? Why don't you come to church?" Then you're like, "But they know me! They know what words came out of my mouth! They know the attitude I had last week! They know!" Yeah... THEY do. But are you sharing Jesus with them? Or are you sharing your perfectionism with them? Listen, we all fall short of the glory of God. We're sharing Jesus with them. Jesus is the ONLY answer!
