No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37,NIV)
Moments like this remind me that I seem to be writing to the wind, or spreading a seed with heavy uncertainty. Who’s willing to take it? I do not know, but God will do His best. Sometimes, it is hard not to think if all of this fails. Unfortunately, an “if” factor is hanging around my neck: what if I do this or that, or so-and-so, and it fails?
It is simple comedy when we see something we consider “epic fail”. T-shirts, bad reactions, figure skating wipeouts, and even Christian side hugs are on the list that we consider a “fail”. (With the latter, I’m pondering about it…) When they throw these things to the eyes of the world, we will look at them in a seemingly odd way. We will have also made a conclusion: fail or not, and there is no guarantee to that either.
With my “personal projects” (which most of them involve writing), I also have no guarantee of them being a success or a fail. Therefore, I rely on God who made us more than conquerors. Even if it looks like I’m writing to the wind, or spreading the Word to concrete walls, or even singing to people who don’t wish to open their hearts, I still have a Fail-Proof King on my side. What the world considers “fail”, it may be that same thing God was looking for another person, or for myself.
As I said earlier, I’m grateful that I’ve found my Fail-Proof King. Or at least, He found me.
