Understanding Failure

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... It does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing... It does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool. It does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced... It does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it... It does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior... It does mean you are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life... It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you should give up... It does mean you must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you will never make it... It does mean it will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you... It does mean God has a better idea!

The God of How Much More

A while ago, I was struggling with strumming patterns on the guitar.

Last night, I wrote my first song. Whilst driving home from guitar class. God never fails to amaze me. Now I know why I was created with rhymes in my head.

These are the lyrics. If you ever get hold of me, I can sing it to you.

YOU’VE CALLED ME

You’ve called me
On this journey
Of dying to myself
You’ve called me
On this journey
The road to Calvary
You’ve called me Lord
To be Your light on earth
You’ve called me Lord
To love the ones I serve

The ones for whom You bled and died
The ones for whom You were crucified
You said O Lord forgive them
For they know not what they do
The ones You’ve called on me to serve
Are the ones that I find hard to love
So help me Lord to understand
That this is Your salvation plan
