I failed but God lifted me up
I failed to manage things in order. I never expected for the uncontrolled factors to happen. I have been so proud of myself thinking that I can do all things - but the truth is I CANNOT do all things! Father God, I am so sorry for being so proud, thinking that I can do this all alone. I actually need You but I keep on denying it to myself. I failed therefore I am a failure. But You Lord, all the same, are still by my side lifting me up, guiding me through the right path and giving me company. I thank You, Lord!
I keep on thinking that I can do manage anything in my life. As long as I know what and when I am certain to need things, I can handle them. But things that are beyond my control came to hinder my ways. And I cannot do anything against it. It even comes to the point that people around me see me as a total disappointment. I failed to reach with their expectations. But I was wrong – totally wrong!
Now when I look to myself at the mirror, I found myself boasting around, I am so proud – the wrong pride that eats me. Then I started to cry. In the end, I still lose in the battle.
But Jesus lifted me up! He fulfills His promise that nothing can separate us. That even though I have been busy doing things alone, He always accompanies me. I wonder if He was there while things alone. Maybe He is actually there and I just ignored it.
After this failure, AND realization, Jesus and I became closer than ever! One of the qualities He has and is proven by me – He will never leave us even though we turn our back away from Him.
