Failure is life's biggest teacher

Have you ever just completely and utterly failed at something? You worked so hard and you just flat out failed. It sucks. It feels like you just got smacked in the face, and the truth is you did. You got smacked in the face with reality. Everybody messes up sometimes. No matter how bad it feels or how grim the future looks, know that things will get better and you'll look back at that failure and see everything you weren't able to see then. 

Failure is life's biggest teacher.

God has a funny way of teaching us things. Sometimes we can't comprehend that the battle is so much bigger than ourselves. We aren't victims, but instead we are students of life. There is so much that God is trying to teach us as we grow and develop, and sometimes those lessons are hard and sometimes we fall down. But God is always there to lift us back up. He wants to see how strong our faith is and if we truly trust Him. It's so easy to say that you have faith in God and that you trust Him, but the true test comes when you're faced with adversity. Will you rely on Him fully? Or will you back down and give up? 

Like Corinthians 5:7(NIV) says, "For we live by faith, not by sight." So just because you may not always see what God is doing, know that He is always working things out for your good! 

With Love,
