Falling. An inevitable and critical aspect of “trying”. So many have fallen after making great efforts, and are so discouraged, they never get up and try again.

Yet falling is a part of the process. If it weren’t an expected part of the human experience, God wouldn’t have had to send Jesus.

The world might, but He’s not counting or criticizing your falls. He’s celebrating your steps. He’s patiently waiting for you to be ready to try again.

Past failure doesn’t disqualify you. CURRENT failure doesn’t disqualify you.

Please don’t allow yourself to believe the lie otherwise.

If you’re struggling because you’ve been trying SO hard, you’ve fallen so many times, and you need encouragement to get up again, you’re not alone. The below song has really been a balm to my spirit when I sense my own discouragement. Maybe you’ll relate and it will help you too.

Celebrate the steps. Forget about the falls. He has.

He loves us SO much.
