I love this picture!
Maybe it's because I have witnessed this two times from the perspective of the man in the background, feeling the thrill of helping my sons take their first steps toward independence. They are men now, and one has experienced that same thrill.
As they learned to walk, not every one of their attempts was progress. I'm sure there were a lot of times when they sat back down, wobbled into things, or face-planted.
But here's the thing - I cannot remember a single failure. Not a ONE.
Why? Is it age? LOL, no I don't think so. I can remember a lot of moments.
So why can't I remember their failures?
Maybe it's because I've seen them walk. And run. For many years.
You may still be feeling the effects of a failure you had in your Christian faith. It may gnaw at you, rob you of your joy, or make you feel less loved by God.
Please read this carefully.
God doesn't remember those failures. He's the Father who rejoices to see His children living everyday. To see them draw on His strength and His love, facing life's challenges. Sure sometimes we fail, but what does God remember? That we got up and kept following His Son.
So live secure in the knowledge that God LOVES YOU and rejoices to see you living in Him.
Grace and peace,
David
