FAILURE HUMBLES


Failure first
Makes you humble.
The deeper the sting,
The greater the revelation.

Release the need
To assign someone blame.
Accept it as your own
To expunge your searing shame.

Guilty Pride will mask and hide
The truth of your shortcomings.
Don’t indulge in its deceitful lie.
It shuts the door to self-examination.

Revelation is the real and only forgiveness.
It provides a second chance for you to try.
Without Its Grace, redemption remains
Locked away in a distorted and hateful lie.

You are enough.
You can succeed.
Shift your mind’s muddled perspective.
Let Failure take you by the hand,
And lead you to new heights of revelation.
