How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

It came from my failed marriage. I won’t go into the particulars right now but it prompted me to seek Jesus. Mainly because having him in my life is truthfully the only success that I can claim in 62 years of life. If you’re wondering did finding Jesus fix all of my problems the answer is not really. It helped but I still got in the way many times and walked off the pathway with Him that I should’ve followed more diligently.

Following Jesus is not the way to a perfect life because we are not perfect. Our mind gets in the way and the devil uses that against us on a daily basis. In the last decade or so, I have gotten better at staying on the pathway with Him but I still fall and sin daily. God knows we are not perfect but He expects us to strive to be more like Him than like our old life. One day at a time is the only way to live a life with Jesus.
