Keep on failing

Learning is a process of elimination.  Failure is inevitable.

I used to be VERY afraid of failure.  I used to avoid doing things because of fear of failure.  In overcoming that, I have learned that you have to be willing to fail.  You have to fail again and again to eliminate the failures, learn from it, and carry on.  You can’t just know the right answer every time – this was a very humbling revelation for me.

Fear binds you up, it cripples you and it keeps you down.  Fear is not from God.  2 Tim 1:7.  How do you get rid of fear?  You lay it down.  You lay down the thinking that the world owes you something and you put on your helmet of salvation and know that God loves you no matter how many times you fail.  No matter what the world does to you.  Rom 8:31-39

You will fail.

And you will get hurt.

Excellence is not perfection.  Yes we were excellently made – Eph 2:10.  God didn’t make junk.  But learning to walk involves falling over from time to time; bumping your head against the table before you know that you should avoid walking into it.  You learn by failing.

Risk failing – try it out – fall – shake it off and do it again.

Keep on failing.
