I got a hug from God today...it was tucked away in the verses of Psalm 37 quoted below. Picture yourself crawling up into God's lap so that He can read to you and give you a BIG hug. I receive Dr. David Jeremiah's email devotionals every day. Sometimes I get a hug...sometimes I don't, lol.
Wishing you all of Christ's best in your life. ~Mary Ann Hartzler

Failing to Success
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholds him with His hand.
Psalm 37:23-24
The literal definition of the word "failure" is: a lack of success in or at something. In reality though, you cannot achieve success in anything without failures along the way. No one is born with the ability to do anything successfully on the first attempt. Babies fall when learning to walk; pianists hit sour notes when trying to master a composition; athletes come in second and third while building up what it takes to place first. But there is a common thread among them all: they never let fear of failure stop them from striving for success.
A lot of us have a fear of failure; but if we desire to be used by God to further His kingdom and bring glory to His name, we must ask Him to help us overcome this. Imagine the amazing things we could do in God's name if we never let fear hold us back! We might stumble along the way; but in the end, God's name would be glorified, and we would set an example for those around us that it's okay to try big things for God, even if we fail along the way to success.
Success comes in cans; failure comes in can'ts.
