Failure


Attention everyone: I have an announcement to make: I, Sharon, am a failure.


Recently at my small group, we talked about our greatest fears (a fun topic, I know).  As I thought about the topic, my initial thought was that my greatest fear was failing God, of not living up to the life that He has for me.  And then I realized something.

I don't have to fear failing God.  The truth is, I fail Him every day.  Daily I fall short of His glory.  In that sense, I'm a failure.

But greater than my failure is His grace.  His grace alone covers me.  His grace alone is enough!  It's by His grace, not by anything of my own doing, that I'm covered, saved, redeemed, restored.

Praise God for His abundant grace!
