Whenever I hear someone say they are a failure I remind them that failure is an event not a person. They are may have failed but they are not a failure. They can learn from the event and try again. Many warehouses and factories have a board that has statistics which include number of days without an accident or injury. The number increases and gets very high, but one day an accident occurs and the number go back to zero. When this happens the company doesn’t close down or give up. They investigate what went wrong. Was it inadequate training, poor safety procedures or warnings, or carelessness. Then they rectify it and try again. Failure is na event not a person.

Thank you for the reminder that events don't always turn out the way that we planned! The Lord may have a higher purpose by teaching us lessons that we might not have learned without experiencing the failure firsthand.
