“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
― Winston S. Churchill
“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition, says: 10‘If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I have relented concerning the disaster I have inflicted on you. 11Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the Lord, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands. 12I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.’(42:9-12)JEREMIAH 40-42
HEBREWS 2
10In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. 11Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.g

To think that we are considered brothers and sisters with Christ is really pretty overwhelmg. Yet this is also the affirmation and confirmation we need to be able to pray to God as our Father without shame or embarrassment. Scripture assures us that we will be accepted, loved and cherished just as Christ is cherished, loved and accepted by God. By accepting this we free ourselves of all shame, insecurity, anxiety and fear. For the God of all creation is our Father.
With this knowledge we can then persist in life with gratitude and perseverance. For we can be grateful in all things, knowing that God loves us, cares for us and will lead and guide us in all ways that are part of the greater plan. In this we can trust and seek God always...this is our salvation, this is our hope and this is our purpose.

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,k neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ROMANS 8: 37-39
