Life’s stumbles and missteps

Seeing failure once more

Judging ourselves harshly

Father brings us ashore

 

Agony breathes again

Grabbing mercy’s lifeline

Lifting us up with grace

Anchored to Father’s vine

 

Evil tells us, stay down

Pushing through, comes His love

Pulling always forward

Father’s glory above

 

Faith feeds on righteousness

Taking up Savior’s cross

Believing in His Word

Father’s love comes across

 

Justice removes darkness

Marching to heaven’s beat

Singing hymns of praises

Joy sails with Father’s fleet

From Psalm 37:23-24:  “Our steps are made firm by the Lord when He delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.”

The disciples went to sleep when they should have kept awake, and when they realized what they had done it produced despair.  Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.

From Matthew 26:45-46:  “Then He returned to the disciples and said to them, ‘Are you still sleeping and resting?  Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.  Rise!  Let us go!  Here comes my betrayer!'”

Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius.

A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.

Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) was an American writer, philosopher, and artist.  Much of his work became more recognized in the years following his death when both he and his wife perished with the sinking of the RMS Lusitania during World War I.

Around life’s corner

Failure’s waiting train

Our very fiber

Split open with pain

 

Chasing newest dreams

Success sometimes waits

Failure comes knocking

What will be life’s fate?

 

Unavoidable

Failure hitting hard

Inevitable

Drawing life’s harsh card

 

Fear of failure breathes

Spreading, holds us back

Life fogging over

Success now off track

 

Vulnerable vibes

Feeling passed over

Alone in darkness

Where’s life’s sweet clover?

 

Lessons from failure

Past trials teach us

Embrace them and learn

Ride fortitude’s bus

 

With renewed purpose

Learn while improving

Plus motivation

Success now moving

From the words of American writer, Meg Dowell:  “Failure will teach you to be vulnerable.  Failure will show you what it means to chase a dream.  More importantly, your past failures will change the way you value your successes.”
