It has been hard to come to terms with my failures even harder when reminded of the expectations I should have as a Christian.
Victory, success and opportunity all seem to be attributed to God but very few aspects of fear, failure or doubt are ever heard in the Christian culture or Church. Not that I expect it all the time but a little would make me feel more normal. For me success has never come without multiple failures. I take comfort in the words Jesus expresses amidst his own sorrow and loss in Gethsemane “Abba Father” he said “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me.” Not once but three times he pleads for a way out of the torture and failure ahead. For me another dead failure may be an opportunity down the track but I do not want to know that at the time. I want to know someone who shares failure and loss like mine. I want to be listened to more than ever in my inadequacy.
