Failing to let go … to Fail
- Post by Uberbeloved #2, Jin –
“Haiyo, he failed again. So useless”
“hmm … there may be a chance where I might fail, better have a backup plan”
“I told myself that there are no other routes for me to go, so I CANT FAIL!”
“If I fail, then how can I hold my head up again?”
Sounds familiar? It all boils down to one word.
Failure.
A simple 7 letter word, yet it brings tremendous pressure to anyone’s heart when the word is uttered.
It destroys many people’s hopes and dreams, preventing them from having their leap of Faith. Or it could be that one failure … and you just stop trying.
Every single day we are bogged down by different issues, trails. Day in, day out, we toil and live through our days. We get drained, get tired or even get irritated. It is never ending but yet it is through all these that our Daddy Jesus’s Love will be able shine through and knowing that He will bring you through no matter what may arise. If you cant see him in your everyday, then who can you hold on to? Who can you lean on? If you see the person which you depend on as a well which you draw from, then He is one well that never dries up.
John 4:14
but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
See! Any water which the Lord gives you will make you never thirst again. And so you may ask how do one person “drink from God?” or how to we “see him”? As what everyone may say, all you need is a little more Faith.
Hmm, some may find that hard, saying “I’ve so much problems and crazy things happening around me, how to have Faith? Have Faith on what?”
For me, I will always find a truth close to my heart or a revelation to hold on to. I was just talking to Chelle that day and something she said turned into a revelation, a truth in my heart.
I realized one right, one precious right which we, all children in Christ, is entitled to.
“The right to Fail”
Yes, the right to fail. I think we should all realize that we are the only ones with the Saviour, who allows us to fail. He sees all our weaknesses; he knows all our wrong doings or even our evil thoughts. But did He condemn us? No, on the contrary, that was the very reason why He came to die for us. Yes, He died for all our failures. Our failures yesterday, today, and forever. The sorry you forgot to say, the hurt which you caused your parents, the beating you gave your children when you lost your temper, the day which you lost your job, the day you abort your child. All these are considered failures by people of the world. The Failure to control, failure to plan, failure to provide. But isn’t it because we know that we will fail that we need Jesus? If we are so perfect, do you think that we will need God?
So with the right to Fail. I say let go of your failures, let go of all your worries and most of all, let Go and let God.
Failure in the world doesn’t mean that you are a failure in His eyes. Sometime we have to see that it is through His wisdom that things happen and you will prosper in Him.
Do not let your past failures judge you, neither let it hold you back. Where Failure abound, Grace greatly abounds! Know that it’s because we are weak so that He can make us strong. Humble yourself in front of Him and you will realize that it is only when you admit that you will fail, then He can come in and show his Love.
Let not another failure bring you down but see it as a channel for God to show you His boundless and amazing Love.
To my uberbeloved friends who are on their way to a Blessed and Favoured Australia Trip. May you rest in His Love and know that He will always be next to you, pampering you, favouring you and Loving you! =)
I shall end this post with a phrase which I chance upon.
“In Your Love, my Salvation Lies”.
Be Blessed, Be Loved and Be Conquerors of Failures!
