Failure does not mean we have failed
I recently found this letter from Pastor Robert Schuller, who published once in one of his books:
It is about failure, a subject on which we should think every time we lose heart. For those who trust in God if there are no failures as a result learn to listen and obey the Lord.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN WE failures. It means that we have not succeeded.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING . It means we've learned something.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN we acted a fool. It means we've had great faith.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE SUFFERED disrepute. It means that we were willing to try.
FAILURE NOT MEAN INABILITY. It means we do things differently.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE LOWER. It means we're not perfect.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN WE'VE LOST OUR LIFE. It means we have good reason to start over.
Failure does not mean we turn back . It means we have to fight harder.
FAILURE DOES NOT MEAN THAT NEVER achieve our goals. It means it will take a little longer to reach them.
Failure does not mean God has abandoned us. It means that God has a better idea!

Interesting! I was in Bogota on the same date Letra Viva and also shared a workshop. The plane made its ravages me, but I think the worst (or best?) Was that there was no connection for several days. Failure? No! It means that God had a better idea, as stated in writing that you share.

Very good. Thank you very much for sharing
This is no accident, is that God wanted to speak
by this means. Two months ago I moved to the U.S. and still have no work. Today I felt a failure, but after reading this I am sure
that my God has something special for me. It has given me time to prepare for what is coming and I'm excited and grateful to God. Thank you also for being encouraging words to use and publish how are you that just from the mouth of God.
God continue to Bless.
