And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9

 It’s said that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before perfecting the incandescent light bulb. That’s a lot of failures! Not sure I would have continued after 5,000 times; but Mr. Edison continued because he had a vision and wanted to see it to fruition.

 What’s your vision? Maybe it’s to have a family one day with a spouse and children, a career that you desperately want, or maybe you too have a new idea you want to turn into a reality. Failure can put a damper on your spirit, no doubt, but the drive to continue when everything (and everyone) fails can make you question if your pursuits are worth the effort. I’m sure Edison felt the same at times, but that never stopped him from perfecting his experiments until everything came together. Just think about the billions of homes, businesses and streets that are illuminated all because Edison was determined to make his idea a reality.

 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Matthew 21:22

 God wants to give you a fulfilling life and most likely that vision is something He put in your heart. Together with His help and your faith in God, you can accomplish much. Failure is one step closer to seeing your dreams come true. Never give up on your vision, keep the faith, and see it to fruition. God bless!
