When I Don't Feel Successful

When I Don't Feel Successful

When I Don't Feel Successful

Contributed by J.R. Vassar // Ligonier Ministries
Since Adam and Eve bit on the first temptation, failure has been a part of our human experience. As God’s image bearers, we are capable of remarkable things. But as fallen image bearers, we are simultaneously capable of terrible things. From small mistakes to colossal meltdowns, we are all too familiar with the pain and shame of failure. But, in His grace, God redeems the failures of His people, and He will use them to shape and form our lives.

The Beauty of the Gospel - The human heart craves justification. This is why we make excuses, shift blame, or look for a scapegoat when we have failed.
