Failure is not Final

At least there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail" (Job 14:7, NIV).


No one wants to fail in life and no one looks forward to it but the reality is that we do and the success that could come from it all depends on how we handle our failures.

• Beethoven's music teacher once told him that he was a hopeless composer.

• Abraham Lincoln campaigned for a seat in the Illinois General Assembly and failed. He then opened a general store which failed after only a few months.

• Walt Disney was fired by the editor of a newspaper for lacking creativity.

• The Ford Motor Company was Henry Ford's third business. The first two didn't work out.

• A teacher told Thomas Edison that he was too stupid to learn anything.

• Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (NIV).- Romans 8:28
