Discussions of Success: "There Is No Failure ...Only Divine Redirection!"

My fraternity brother/business partner and I were chatting (on Gchat) this morning about the blessed fact that the word "failure" has never been used in the Word of God!  Many people, myself included, have or have had a fear of failure.  And speaking from experience, fear of failure is paralyzing.  So many times we miss our blessings because we succumb to this fear and don't take the steps that are already ordained by God. 

My brother had this to say...

"We can fail at something but that does not make us a failure ...a 'fail' is a temporary moment.  A 'failure' is more permanent. I'd rather fail trying than be a failure for not trying. It is truly liberating to know there is no failure in God.  Anything with the word fail attached to it, I believe, is attached to the world's standard. If we 'fail' trying something new ...we still learn from it which is a measure of success.  So ultimately, we did not fail ...we just succeeded in learning something new"  ~Min. James Riddick

Because we both recognize that iron sharpens iron (Prov. 27:17),  we're even more inclined to encourage and mmotivate one another.  No crabs in this barrel!

Until next time ...attempt to do that which you USED TO have a fear of failing.  There is no failure ...only divine redirection!
