Defeat. It may be part of everyone’s story from time to time, but it doesn’t ever feel like PART of the story — it feels like the END of the story. How can a story about a headless and handless idol tell us otherwise?
God’s reaction to my failure often surprises me. He doesn’t react like humans do. As soon as repentance takes place, He is ready to move forward with me! There is no protracted guilt trip or silent treatment. He forgives and moves forward.
