This current Gen Y generation is so much about “me” that it needs to maintain a healthy perspective. What the Gen Y are engaged in is so much bigger than their daily tasks that they spend a lot of time working on. If our dreams are not fulfilled, it is easy to be dissatisfied and feel like a failure. When people go through a period of perceived failure, they can enter a prolonged period of depression.
There is a relationship between imagination and faith. Imagination is the foundation of faith and faith the foundation of hope, and hope is what people need who are looking for a job.
We are given just a few years to live here on earth because when we look at our lives in the perspective of world history, our lives are just a moment in time. We are transients just passing through. Normally this would not give our lives much meaning, but with a look forward, we realize that we are a part of a very large story. As we work at our jobs, we need to understand, “What is the big picture we’re doing?”
To set aside our selfishness and personal ambitions and live within the context of history is of great benefit. Even our failures can be the seed for someone else's success. But the world is a bigger story and our failures and successes can play a key role in the overall plan. We wrestle with this concept because we want our dreams to come true. Even our failures can be the foundation by which other dreams may become a success.
David, king of Israel was an artist, a musician. He had is successes and failures written out in the Bible for all to read.
The successes and failures can be the foundation of the success and failures of others that come after us.
You are a part of something so much bigger than you can imagine. Our faith is not complete without the faith of those who came before us. There are those that have gone before us that give us perspective. The saints that have gone before us are a part of the great cloud of witnesses.
Moses persevered. He was a hero of the faith. These people were:
1. humans with successes and failures
2. they persevered regardless of the challenges and difficulties.
The next generation will go further than we have gone. What a wonderful joy to realize that God is using us in his bigger picture.
We are a part of a narrative of redemption that if we really understood this, we’d partner with each other with more determination.
Acknowledge moderate successes, reward great failures.
“The reason we see so far is because we stand on the shoulders of giants.” - Isaac Newton
Are you willing to be a door stop? If so, there will be people that can come after you, walk through the door and who will do greater things.
Things that seem tragic, God can use for his purposes. Let God write the script of the story. It’s a big story. God’s story is extraordinary.
There are real failures because we mess up, but perseverance is important. God births new things out of both successes and failures.
If a “failure” happens, it is a matter of perspective as to whether or not it really is a failure or not.
Some of your failures/successes, no one will know but you and God.
Attempt great things for God. God’s definition of success and failure is very different from how the world defines them.
The crucifixion of Christ is the ultimate example of what appeared to be a failure but was the ultimate success.
