A failed dream doesn’t deliver, but also doesn't make you a failure. Failure indicates that you've taken a risk and you now have more valuable data to make your next non-failure-decisions with smart steps.
Some people fail by indecision and lack of love. Do you know and inquire of the Lord in prayer? Some choose not to fail-forward by grace .. a grace that they could take hold of. Do you obey your Lord to go forward with him, not running ahead or lagging behind Him? Ask God in faith. He will rescue, forgive, deliver, save, help, guide..and use you. They become failures because they don't gain needed courage or refuse to gain the knowledge and wisdom for knowin' how to pick up after failing.
Sometimes there's unexpected turbulence, trials, cost in the will of God.. and even beauty in not failing. A givin' up.. that's appropriate. For weeks lately I've felt a warm breeze and seen seeds from the south float by. What's not to love about the spreading of seed? Have you given up your idols? There's a giving up what's not helpful for anyone.. what's unnecessary, or slows you down, or holds you back?
"He (Jesus) told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: 'Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!'" Matthew 13:3-8
