Failure doesn't define you until you let it define you.
This quote came up in a conversation that I had recently with a friend about failure. Failing is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, especially because I take lots of tests at this point in my life and education. I'm always worried about failing because I know the people I respect and love are watching me and wanting me to do my best, and I don't want to let them down. I know that we as imperfect, sinful humans, are going to fail in different aspects of life, but I still don't like it, haha.
Well, last night after going to bed and not being able to sleep for awhile, I started reading my Bible to see if I could get my mind quieted down enough so that I could sleep. One of the first verses I read was in Deuteronomy.
"And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed." -Deuteronomy 31:8
I bet you can see what jumped out at me in that verse, "he will not fail thee" what a great promise! So even though I'm sure I will still struggle with this, I just need to make sure that I don't LET failure define me, and no matter what I or anyone else fails at, the Lord NEVER fails.

Kluane, that was a beautiful post. How ironic that that verse has also just become one of my favorite's. I have been thinking about it a lot recently. You are very right. That is one reason we can place our complete trust in Him: He will never fail us. Ever. That is a promise that often keeps me going.
God bless!
