I love something I heard John Hagee say, "Failure isn't final". When I eat too much, it's not too late to wait until I am truly hungry before I eat again. When I entertain thoughts that are not godly, I can change my thinking without having to feel condemned. I am thankful for that because I get off track. It's encouraging to know that God does not require me to beat myself up for several days before I can get back on track. My God is gracious and merciful!!
Romans 8:1-2, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
Lamentations 3:22-23, Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I do not have to give up just because I failed. I love that about my God!!
