The Failure Syndrome

Today's society makes it very easy for the human heart to feel like a failure.  People are always measuring one person against another.
Have you heard the contradictory lines?  Well look at the job so and so has.  Look at the progress so and so is making in college.
So when you make mistakes you feel like a failure.  Remember you are not a failure.  You are a beloved child of God.  He has forgiven your mistakes.  Why shouldn't you forgive yourself?
Never measure yourself by others.  Measure yourself by God.  You are his precious child.  He loves you so much!
