Bounce Back预览

Keep moving forward.

Although this devotional is called Bounce Back, my prayer for you is not to return to where you were, but instead bounce forward.

You may have personally or professionally stayed in the same position or even experienced a setback, but that does not mean you are the same person emotionally and spiritually.

You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can be changed within them.

You are going again in the knowledge you are forgiven and covered by grace. You have learnt lessons from this failure. You’re becoming healthy on the inside and building resilience.

This failure does not define you. There is a race marked out for you, and you have not completed it yet.

There is one thought, however, that I want to leave you with as you end this devotional.

You may fail again. If you are a risk-taker, entrepreneur, a dreamer, it might happen.

But do not be afraid of failure. Instead surround yourself with your own great cloud of witnesses, like the family in Meet the Robinsons, who will cheer you on to keep moving forward.

Just like failure doesn’t define you, neither does your success. Shape your identity on who you belong to, not what you achieve. This will happen if you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. You have a purposed-filled future. Run after it.

Today’s passages focus on identity – grounding yourself in who you belong to and who God says you are.

Cheering you on all the way as you bounce forward.
