Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

I want to go barefoot because it’s holy ground I want to be running because time is short and none of us has as much runway as we think we do and I want it to be a fight because that’s where we can make a difference. That’s what love does.
Bob Goff
Image
But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It's a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright.
Bob Goff
Image
Love doesn't just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it... Simply put: Love does!

God never said He'd eliminate all of the chaos from our lives He just said He'd bring meaning to it.
