Having trouble recovering from a setback? Remember this. Jesus already gave us an example. Do you remember when he was going to Calvary? How many times did he fall on the road? Three good times. And each time, what did he do? He picked up his cross and continued because he aimed to serve and redeem us. So he must pick up his cross and continue. How do you recover from failure? You recover from failure by not giving up. Don’t define yourself by failure, so you don’t just fail; stay there. Get up. Don’t surrender.
When you are looking for someone to help you, you get somebody stronger than you, the person who knows the way and can lead you. You leave all to the Lord. The Lord upholds all who fall. And with God within you, you will overcome failure.

Love Does Not Tell Lies
“Love rejoices in the truth. It rejoices in the right.” Truth gives us the reality as it is, without falsifying it. But the problem is, are we ready for it? Sometimes, the truth hurts. Especially if it is being told about us. And we don’t want our idiosyncrasies to be exposed, our mistakes. It hurts, but the truth has to be told because truth is life…

Yearning For God
Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are…

The Beauty Within
1 Peter 3:3 and 4, “Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of robes. But let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable gold of a gentle and quiet spirit, which, in God’s sight, is very precious.” Some of us decorate ourselves with gold and silver, putting on expensive things. But that’s not the…
