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.

Don't let uncertainty talk you into pursuing a backup plan instead of your purpose.
Bob Goff

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.

I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

God often waits until we're out of ideas before He lets us know His plans. He competes for our hearts, not our attention.
