Do you ever find yourself wincing at your frequent failures in your walk with God? Are mountaintop victories sometimes followed by valleys of our own making? No life of faith is a straight climb toward perfection, but rather a winding journey of wandering and returning. But here’s the good news: God’s grace meets you every time you stumble, His Word continually calls you back, and His promises invite you to start anew. He knows that you long to be faithful, even when you falter. Take heart in that truth and remember that the only time you fail is when you refuse to get back up!

Jesus has entrusted each of us with different “talents” and one day He will return to see how we invested them. Will we hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” or will He rebuke us for the way we managed what He gave us?
