19 | When the Delay is Magnified by (Your) Failure

In the previous episode we discussed waiting / delays related to our dreams / purpose. We mentioned four things which occur…

⭐️

There are three more things that happen during our seasons of waiting (listen to our previous talk for the first four):

5️⃣ PLANS & IDEAS develop + mature. That is, the ideas become “better” and more refined.

6️⃣ PATIENCE grows— making us more complete. When we remember that God WILL fulfill the plans He’s created for us (see Ephesians 2:8-10 & Acts 13:36), we can really lean into this one, acquiring the lessons and insights we need during the wait.

7️⃣ PASSION either grows or withers… and, if it wains, it’s probably a good thing that we didn’t jump headfirst into the project or pursuit.

💥

But what do we do when the wait is— at least in some measure— our fault?

Turns out, grace covers it.

And, more than that, GRACE OFTEN makes that the very platform where we make a difference.

📈

History— and the Bible— is full of the stories of people who waited (and failed) and became massive “successes” in the very area of their struggle.

Turns out, we’re often perfectly positioned to serve the people who find themselves walking through the same muck & mire that we once traversed.

So, shame free…

… lean in.

And don’t waste the lessons you’ve learned during the wait— even if it was, in part, your own doing. God redeems ALL things to impact ALL people.
