If I had a dollar for the times in my mind, I would say that there was no hope because I blew it, because I made too many mistakes and the list would go on....
But I'm glad that something inside pushed me to move... forward... and I found out that failure wasn't final.
Forward Friday's video is our push to never give up, no matter how we found ourselves in a failure position or thought.
If we gave up, we'd never know the satisfaction of the push forward.... So don't give up, don't give in, don't sit down and throw your hands up; Failure Is Never Final! And there's Good News Medicine because we all could use a healthy dose of Good News!!

3 Reasons Why Failure Isn't Final
Failure Should Grow in us Humility
Failures get our attention. They cause us to reevaluate our spiritual maturity. God often uses the failures we experience to humble us, remind us of our limitations, make us more willing to depend on God, submit to His commands, and remain open to His leading in our lives.
2. Failure Helps Us See Where We Are Strong And...Weak... And Sometimes. It's Us.
Many times, we can take failure moments and turn them into valuable assets as we move forward to grow our life. But self inflicted weaknesses could look like:
Paralyzed: where we find ourselves frozen, unable to move forward due to the grip of fear....
Procrastination: the cycle of delaying or avoiding our goals and visions;
Perfection: the belief stuns us that everything we do must be perfect leading us to endlessly try to fix or even give up our projects because they never seem "good enough."
3. Failure Builds Resilience And Inner Strength
Challenges, obstacles are part of life.
And the Bible has some good help for us.
James 1:2-4
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
Remember, Failure Is Not Final!!!
