You are amazing Bailey. We all fail to various amounts . Recognised by many philosophers and teaches in the past. The writer of the Bible book of Romans notes it in Chapter 3 verse 23 and even Jesus himself replied “<b>No</b> <b>one</b> is <b>good</b>—except God alone” (Mark 10:8) acknowledging that we all fail.
But the way you pick yourself up and carry on is wonderful. Many do fail and are unable to pick themselves up. They need our help and encouragement. The Christian’s recognition of failure is not the end. That end is in the hope that follows: hope declared in the Gospel and the very grace of God.
So much for my ‘preaching’ but it is hope that is the counter to failure. As pwCF there is is hope that new treatments and understanding will resolve all the negatives of CF and allow pwCF to live a normal life.
Keep up your HOPE!
This means the world. I can’t thank you enough for writing this… I truly felt like I “hugged” every word into my chest as I read them. Thank you friend!
