Failure Or Opportunity

Is failing at a task really failure or an opportunity?

People would say now; hey um Dewaldt are you ok? Failing is failing my friend what u going on about an opportunity?

Well let me put it this way for you, I wrote my motorcycle learners exam today and I did not pass, after I studied so long and hard from salearners.co.za, only to find afterwards and during the exam they did not have all the roadmarking signs under the theory link.

So now how do I react? All upset en disturbed and negative and saying to myself I have failed? No I do not, I say I did not pass today but here is a perfect opportunity for Jesus to intervene and take this whole situation and turn it into something victorious.

God knows why I did not pass and so what if I didn't.

(Romans 8:28 NKJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

All things work for good, does not mean happy ending, God know what He is doing and this is where trust comes in. Paul rejoiced even while he was in jail and he did not let his circumstances get him down, cause he knew as do I that nothing can capture my spirit from being free through the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.

So here is an opportunity for God to turn the whole thing around let me write again and people looking at me and seeing that my actions stay positive and full of happiness are asking themselves why is this guy happy, and there is the perfect opportunity for God to get all glory again by my testimony through my actions and words just praising God even in moment of not failure but opportunity for His working grace and love.

UNSURE

Technorati Tags: Greatness,Jesus

Never be unsure about anything in your life if God is the centre of your life, all you have to be sure off is that He is in control and He will protect and lead you, all you must do is follow where ever He leads you.

I read someone's status the other day and it read "Greatness is in all of us, we must just learn how to apply it"

It is a very nice thing to say, but what is one implying by saying that. So greatness is in us hmmm, I would state it differently; I would say through Jesus in us there is His greatness and we must just learn to follow Him so we can apply His greatness which is upon us through Grace for not one of us is worthy.

Luke 9:43 MSG
(43)  They all shook their heads in wonder, astonished at God's greatness, God's majestic greatness. While they continued to stand around exclaiming over all the things he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,

Eph 1:19 AMP

And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable {and} unlimited {and} surpassing greatness of His power in {and} for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

see it is His greatness not ours, the only greatness we have is what God allows us to have and in fact it is only when we reflect His greatness through unselfish true acts towards others that people can see His greatness.
