Do you ever feel like you are a failure or think of yourself as a failure? What if we were to tell you that you are not a failure, would you believe us? Well, let us tell you just that, you are not a failure. And you should believe us. Just because you think your lifestyle may be less than what it should be or you think your past may be less than respectable or even unredeemable, you are not a failure. Just because you think your family situation may be less than ideal or even if you have been through a divorce, you are not a failure. Just because you think your financial situation is not be headed in the direction you think it should or even if you have filed for bankruptcy, you are not a failure. Just because society may have deemed you a failure, God does not see you as a failure.
Failure is considered “to be a lack of success.” We want you to know that “God want you to succeed and not fail.” You were not created for failure, no matter what has happened to you in your past, what is happening to you right now, or what you expect to happen in the not too distant future. God wants you to know that he loves you like no one else can. And because of this love, God wants to you be successful in this life.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).
God has a plan for you, a plan for good and not evil. God has a plan to prosper you and not harm you. God has a plan to give you hope and a future. God has all of this planned for you but there is a part that you have to play in all of this.
“We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed” (Proverbs 16 NLT).
Yes, we make plans all the time and think that what we are doing is always the right thing. In our eyes, those things appear to be the right thing, but this is not the case when it comes to God. God always looks at our motives. If we want our plans to succeed, we have to commit our actions to the Lord. And once committed, he will always give us the right answers for our plans to succeed.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works and to do good things. God planned for us to walk in these good works and in good things as the way to live our lives. When we commit our actions to God, we can be confident, that the one who began a good work in us will continue that good work until the day of Christ Jesus. Because God sees our potential, he does not consider us a failure. Now, we need to see our potential. Now maybe you will believe us when we say, “you are not a failure.” God does not see you as a failure and neither should you.
