Everyone deals with failure. Whether we like it or not, it’s going to happen. For some people, failure is harder to take. I am one of those people. I am not a perfectionist (but I’m pretty close) and I am well aware that failure often brings success from learning. But I am also the girl who is still bothered by the fact that I got one B in high school (I’m a year away from graduating COLLEGE). I still cringe at my failures from the internship I took the past two years. I cannot help but panic when I sense failure around the horizon or on my front door.
Yesterday, two couples I know who have been together less time than my boyfriend and I got engaged. So I panicked. I love him to death and I definitely want to spend the rest of my life with him, but I also know that we are not emotionally or financially prepared to do so. And I felt like a failure. How come I’m not emotionally ready!? How come he’s not financially ready!? How come we are both still in school!?
But this morning, God reminded me of who He is. Lamentations 3:22-23 reads, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
Great is Your faithfulness. I want Your timing, Jesus, and not my own. God makes us new every morning. He’s got us. Whether you are struggling watching other’s get married, struggling to find a good internship or job, or just struggling to pass your classes… God has got you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. Great is His faithfulness.
