I love this so much. 👏
Athletes can get so frustrated during lessons or training when they fail. They begin talking down to themselves, questioning their ability, or expecting every swing, throw, or rep to be perfect.
But failure is part of the process.
We fail. We learn. We make adjustments. We fail better. Eventually, we succeed. And then there’s more work to do, another level to reach, and the cycle continues.
Our walk with God isn’t all that different.
We’re going to stumble. We’re going to get things wrong. There will be seasons when we feel like we should be further along than we are. But God never asked us to grow through our own strength or to achieve some level of perfection.
He asks us to abide.
When we stay close to Christ, He uses the process, the successes and the failures, to teach us, correct us, strengthen us, and make us more like Him.
Failure isn’t a reason to talk down to ourselves or give up. It’s an opportunity to learn, get back up, and keep walking with Him.
There will always be more growing to do. And that’s okay.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s becoming more like Christ.
“Abide in Me, and I in you.” — John 15:4 🌿
