FAITH IS THE SEED THAT TRANSFORMS FAILURE'S GREATEST HOLD

THE PORT OF TRUST AND TRUTH

A heart that stands firmly on the trusted foundation of faith and prayer will succeed

 

     Have you ever gotten the horrible feeling that you failed?  Things that once seemed ideal by personal standards on the journey have possibly changed.  There are many factors that can be dynamic catalysts of change.  These factors may include:  life, circumstances / situations, people, and yes, even faith.

 

     The pathway of life has many paths and inroads that can facilitate change.  An example would be welcoming another birthday.  In the early years, birthdays are considered a milestone and celebration.  But, as progression happens in life, they become an annoyance.

 

     Why?  Every year is a precious and fragile gift from God.  We should be grateful for it, and count every blessing as a precious jewel of love upon our journey crown.  Why does society treat the elderly like a problem instead of an answer?  They should be revered for the beautiful blessings that they are.  

 

     Circumstances / situations arise in life where some are fortunate and some, not quite so much.  Suppose you just finished college.  But, due to a not so favorable economy, you cannot find your dream job, or for that matter, any job.  As time passes, your student loans start going into default.  What do you do?

 

     There are many ways that people can facilitate change.  The ideal example would be divorce.  But, how can faith be a facilitator?  Welcoming that perfect light of hope into your heart illuminates life anew...new man, new mission, new purpose.

 

     The main idea is no one ever said that the journey was going to be a straight road.  It is the way that the atmosphere is perceived that determines how beautifully the inner sun will shine.  There are a few ways to be assured of this.

 

     First, don't go by the perception of other people.  Secondly, be attuned directly to the perception of God and of the heart.  Just because something didn't go as planned doesn't mean it is a failure.

Keep in mind that no one is perfect.

 

     Failures are simply indentations in the mold of our lives that God can develop into something even more beautiful.  They may be challenging stepping stones in God's greater plan.  It is also a learning ground that facilitates the greater development of faith.

 

     When the heart realizes that faith and prayer are keys to the journey, it relies more strongly upon the trusted foundation.  Remember, failure as humanity sees it is simply victory's waiting room.
