What happens when you fail?
When the flesh wins.
When you fall back into something you thought God already delivered you from.
Those moments.
I love Jesus. I really do.
I seek Him. I pray. I open His Word. I want my life to reflect Him. But if you follow my content, I want you to understand something about me…
I’m not perfect.
There are days I struggle.
Days where my flesh gets the better of me.
Days where I walk away from a moment thinking,
“Lord… I should have handled that differently.”
And I’ll be honest…
There are days my flesh wins battles I wish it didn’t. And in those moments the enemy loves to whisper, “See? You’re not who you say you are.”
But here’s something I’ve learned through my failures… Those moments are exactly what the gospel is about.
The gospel was never for people who never fall. It’s for people who fall… and realize they desperately need a Savior. It’s for the person who runs back to God after messing up and says…
“Lord, without Your mercy I have nothing.”
My failures don’t make me run from Christ.
They make me run to Him. Because every time I fall short, I’m reminded of something powerful…
I was never saved because of my perfection. I was saved because of His grace. So if you follow my page thinking I’ve got it all figured out…
I don’t.
I’m just a flawed human being who loves Jesus and keeps getting back up, running to the cross.
The cross wasn’t built for people who have it all together, It was built for people like me who don’t.
