When We Fail, God Stands by Us...




Failure
--ours and others'--- can be difficult to accept. When we fail, we are often disappointed with ourselves. How could we be so weak, so inept, so foolish? We may even assume that God feels the same way about us. But his Word reveals a different response: No matter how we may mess up, God continues to love us and longs us to help us get back on our feet. What a relief? God doesn't turn away from us when we fail; he rushes to our aid and encourages us to try again. His mercy eases our pain, and his forgiveness offers a new start.



OUR STEPS ARE MADE FIRM BY THE LORD,
WHEN HE DELIGHTS IN OUR WAY;
THOUGH WE STUMBLE, WE SHALL NOT
FALL HEADLONG, FOR THE
LORD HOLDS US BY THE HAND

Angel


My Thoughts





We are most like angels when
we stand ready to serve
the good inside of us.


When life seems dark and empty
and there's no hope in sight,
look for God to send and
angel to guide you toward the
light.

Angels find us, not only when
we need them most, but even
when we think we are
fine on our own.


Have you wished you could be an angel?
You can easily do it: Don't doubt
it. Just help someone in need,
or do a good deed, and never tell
a soul about it.


Reach out someone in need,
and one day they might
call you "Angel."
