God’s Love Allows Me To Fail.
1. When God allows me to fail, it’s an act of His love, not a lack of His caring.
2. God uses failure to draw me to Himself, not to push me away from Him.
· God can use failure to get my attention.
· Failure can be redeemed and become God’s gift to me.
3. In God’s hands, failure can break the power of self-centeredness in my life.
