Free to Succeed Wildly

I'm free to fail and to succeed Wildly...

I read a T-shirt while riding this AM. It read, “Failure is not an option.” I remember thinking, if it means keep trying, keep exploring new options. Excellent! But if it means don’t do anything until you’re sure you can do it perfectly, until you can do it w/ 100% assurance you're not going to fail, t o fall, to suffer. If that’s what it means, how SAD!

At LEI, we’ve entered into the LOVE of the Father. He’s given us permission to try new things. Some quite frankly that probably won’t work. But in that freedom of the Fathers love, new things are happening, wildly successful ideas are coming to fruition. The kingdom of God is expanded in significant ways through literacy mission.

Parable of the Talents:
Jesus talked about a servant that was so paralyzed with fear, he hid his "talent" in the ground. The other two servants in the parable "entered into the Father's JOY", because they were overwhelmed with passion for the master.

Now, don’t get me wrong. We definitely want failure avoidance mode. We need to plan appropriately and garner wise counsel. But we're not frozen in fear. Instead we're walking in love, unafraid of where a passionate life will take us. “Perfect love, cast out all FEAR.”

Our heavenly Father gives us permission. Those within LEI, I give you permission to fail, but also license to succeed wildly for the sake of the kingdom, living lights out, passionate lives responding to the love of the Father. Bathed in His love, consumed in gratitude for the grace and love extended to you.

If failure is not an option, you never approach the edge of Greatness.

May God release you from any fear that might hold you back from doing great things, wildly successful things for his kingdom.
