Dear brothers and sisters, have you ever considered that the road to success is often paved with failures? The message, “Friends, I say to you, the day you recognise your failure as failing forward, that day will make the beginning of your success untold,” reminds us that our setbacks do not define us but propel us towards a brighter tomorrow. Instead of viewing failure as a mark of defeat, let us embrace it as a catalyst for growth and transformation.

Look to the life of Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, for inspiration. Despite his many failures and shortcomings, Peter’s faith never wavered. He walked on water only to falter; he denied Jesus three times only to receive Forgiveness and Redemption. Through Peter’s journey, we learn that our failures do not disqualify us from God’s Grace but serve as opportunities for God to work in and through us.

Friends, let us not be discouraged by our mistakes but see them as stepping stones towards success. Each setback is a lesson, and each failure is a chance for growth. As we press on in faith, may we remember that God’s Strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. Let us embrace failure with open hearts, trusting that God is shaping us into vessels of His Purpose and Grace through it.

JESUS IS LORD
