Awesome Possibilities

Read James 1:2-8
My friends, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure.

-James 1:2-3 (TEV)​

WITH two days remaining, I was frantically trying to finish an art project for an upcoming show. I was near completing it when a slip of my hand ruined the whole thing beyond repair. I was devastated, and I felt like a failure. I quit and said I wasn't going to start again; it was too late.
The next morning when my husband said, "Try again," I took that as a nudge from God. Reluctantly, I did. The results were remarkable, even better than the original!
I learned about failure through that event and others in my life since then. Failure when viewed with negative eyes is nothing more than failure. But when we trust and listen to God, failure can become an opportunity for a change filled with awesome possibilities.

Dear God, give us eyes to see possibilities even in our failures. Amen.

Every day is a new opportunity to create something worthwhile, with God's help.

One time in the 90s I was on the computer trying to make a picture. It was new to me to use all these. But I saw how much easier it was to me that trying to do art on paper. As I was working on a face it looked like Jesus so I worked on it that night. It was Jesus with a candle cross with tears going down his eyes because he had compassion on all of us that need to know Him.

I still wish I had a copy of this. I lost it in my papers somewhere some time ago. The funny thing is I did not intend at first to make Jesus it just happened.
It is difficult sometimes to copy a good thing you have already done and then sometimes like this lady you will do better next time.

Have faith, it will show up one day again when you really need it..
