Failure ©

                                           What is failure as defined by man?

                                                Is it omission, inability, lack or deficiency   

                                                Of a vital or not so vital function?

                                                Who is guilty of failure if not all?

                                                Who can judge if all are alike?

                                                Dare I judge myself or another when

                                                I have failed by sin or lack of talent?

                                                Where is the failure if the lesson it

                                                Teaches is one of positive results?

                                                Why can't failure be constructive

                                                Instead of destructive in nature?

                                                If all things were created for good

                                                Then failure is victory in disguise.

                                                If this is true, then what we call failure       

                                                Is not failure but the teaching of wisdom.

Christ died for us even though we live in sin. We are in a world that is rife with sin. We are unable to win our way into heaven sinless. We are doomed to fail on a regular basis in this world. Try as we may, we will not become sinless. That said, it is not a green light to go ahead and commit sin after sin until we die. It isn't a free pass to do whatever we like thinking we are forgiven no matter what we do. It's not a get out of jail card making you free to commit crimes against others. Failure is the means by which we are taught humility and courage. It is the means by which we learn that we are all vulnerable. It is the means by which we learn that we are all very much alike in many ways. It is the means by which we are tested and guided in what is good for us and bad for us. Failure is many things. It is never the end of the line unless it is where you give up and stop trying.

     Reflections on God are important for personal growth but

should be to the good of all mankind. A truth about a

reflection on God has no worth if the beneficiary is strictly

ones own self. The true test of its value is in its ability to

touch and bring light and peace into a dark corner of the life

of others. Truly, it is then a reflection of God who is a

solid foundation of life.
