Ode to failure: a life that hasn\u2019t turned out the way one had hoped.<\/h2>\n

If we genuinely believe that nothing is wasted, that God is the ultimate recycler, working ALL things for our good, can we see our failure<\/span><\/span> and disappointment through different eyes? Can we see the hidden cathedral deep within the rock pile?<\/span><\/p>\n

What does love see?<\/span><\/p>\n

Love sees a multiplicity of possibilities.<\/span>
\nLove inspires creativity and innovation to navigate within the possibilities.<\/span>
\nLove is the inspiration of perseverance and overcoming.<\/span>
\nLove is the bedrock of courage<\/span>
\nto get up and live again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Failure, oh failure! Where is your sting! For failure is not fatal. Failure does not have the final say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let love wipe away the tears.<\/span>
\nLove, the lifter of your chin<\/a><\/span>.<\/span>
\nThrough the eyes of love, look again.<\/span>
\nAt the broken things, the rubble of mistakes, failures,\u00a0and disappointments,<\/span>
\nwhat do you see?<\/span><\/p>\n

Love sees a cathedral<\/span>
\nIn you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single person contemplates it, bearing the image of a cathedral within. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery   Ode to failure: a life that hasn\u2019t turned out the way one had hoped.
