Learning From Your Failure
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” - Ephesians 3:20
Have you thought that the gateway to your greatest success will come through failure? Don't be afraid of failure. It is God's greatest teacher in your life. Don’t think for a moment that if you fail, that makes you a failure for life. You are not a failure. You are to find your identity in Christ Jesus, not your wins, and not your failures. Your identity is to be wrapped up in Jesus.
Maybe you’ve struggled in certain areas of your life and, as a result, you’re feeling like a failure. Maybe you think you have failed as a parent. Remember, the story is not over with your kids. God is still in the process of making their story a real success. Sometimes, you think it is your fault that they are where they are. But don’t forget that they have free will. If you did the very best that you could as a parent, you need to trust that God will see them all the way through. The story is not over, yet.
Maybe, you failed as a husband or a wife. Maybe, you failed in some business endeavor. Maybe you failed in a friendship. Whatever the case may be for you, remember, failure is just an event at a moment in time; it is not forever.
It may be through that failure that God wants to teach you the greatest spiritual lesson of your life. He has success for you greater than you could ever imagine. Ephesians tells us, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).
Failure is not forever. It’s temporary. But the lesson God wants to teach you through your failure can have an eternal impact if you’ll humble yourself and be willing to learn from your failures.

There are many things to do for the kingdom of God. If I fail at one, I know I can try something else and hopefully succeed.
Thank you GOD for blessing us even in our failures .AMEN
We all make painful mistakes. The greater the pain, the harder we fall. Eventually, by the grace of God we find Jesus. In our redemption the pain in our hearts is replaced with the loving kindness of the Holy Spirit. To those who called me a looser, a failure, I pray they see my ultimate success in finding Jesus. Thanks be to God for my failures and what I learned from them.
nPsalm 23:5-6 NKJV — You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
nYou anoint my head with oil;
nMy cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
nAll the days of my life;
nAnd I will dwell in the house of the LORD
nForever.
Please pray for my family. Since both parents has passed, we three sisters can not get along. There is one that wants to control everything. I can not agree with her. I just moved near my daughter after years , my ex cheated on me and left me and of course married 2 months later. Moved in with my daughter and granddaughter which is bad. I cannot stand to be near my ex. And my ex,daughter and granddaughter talk all the time. I sold my house, living with my daughter until the house closes. I don’t really like it but I feel like I am in the way. Me and my daughter used to be so close. Not anymore. Everything is all a mess. I wish sometimes I would have just stayed where I was. Not happy anymore. I miss my house, neighbors, church and my use to be like. Not I am lost here
