Gospel Reflections #562: Grace in our failures

Matthew 6:29 “Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not dressed like one of these flowers."

God meets the needs of His creatures and gives each of them the beauty in which they can shine the brightest.

It is for this reason that we are moved by all things natural.

God does it for us, not by our own efforts.

Because God has given us the only free will we have, we often use it to better ourselves or to do for ourselves what God does for us.

God knows everything about us. We know that it is best for us to surrender, entrust, and follow Him, but we are unable to do so.

In our daily lives, we make many spiritual mistakes, and God sees us make mistakes, and he makes sure we can run to Him again and again and grow.

Failure is a source of growth and a blessing that connects us to God.

This year, as we experience many spiritual failures, let us experience God's work of making everything profitable and share the joy of it.
