Our Daily Grace: Permission to Fail

"Everybody fails.  We are only human. We are allowed to make mistakes sometimes. God still thinks we're adorable even in the midst of our messes. And so we can give ourselves a break and be gentle with ourselves when we fail. "

Susannah St. John

"For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust."

Psalm 103;14

God has compassion on us.  He knows that we are just mortals with weak bodies and minds.  He knows that we are frail, often confused, and sometimes troubled.  He knows we will fail and it's okay.  We don't have to be perfect to be loved or be 'alright' with God.  We're His adorable kids, no matter what.  So we can give ourselves permission to fail, knowing that no failure will change our bond with God.  He understands.  He knows how it feels to be human and live in this challenging world. 

A thought: It's okay to fail.




May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
