Failure may be a road block, but not the end of your journey. Maybe you have even said these words, my life is over. I can’t go on. Well, God doesn’t see it that way! He still has a hope and a future for you, and it is good! If we want to overcome our failures, we can see those road blocks as stepping stones to God’s best life for us. We do not need to remain defeated. We do not need to become downhearted. The roadblock is temporary. Soon the road construction will be complete, and we can keep on going. Once we have realized that in our own life, it can give us faith to believe that for others. We can begin using the same word that encouraged us to help someone else see that too. People around your need your encouragement. You made it through, they can too. Don’t be a stone thrower, be a grace sower! As a grace sower, you are planting seeds of mercy that will grow to become oaks of righteousness. When you breathe a breath of life into someone, through grace filled words, you fill their sails with wind. All of us have had the wind taken from our sails. When you encourage someone, you are blowing fresh wind into their sails. I sure am thankful when others do that for me. Let’s do that for others, starting right now.
