Epic fail or divine purpose? There are not a lot of things more discouraging than feeling like you’ve failed at something. You start to convince yourself you’re incapable of change, better off without trying again, and basically put your own ball and chain around your ankle.
Consider the idea that God will re-purpose your garbage dump of a past into a moving testimony for others at the beginning of the wrong path you just finished. It’s true. He will never let us walk through something without AFTERWARDS giving us an opportunity to use it in a mighty way. Keep your head up – that “epic fail” will start to look like an “epic win”! Because our God is the God of 2nd, 3rd, 4th… chances.
“I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8
