You’re going to fail. In your obedience to God, you’re going to fail AT doing certain things. In your disobedience, you’re going to fail TO do certain things. Is failure really necessary?
Things grow by first breaking down: muscle, nutrients, seeds, pride, and comfort. You have to be willing to allow difficult circumstances into your life, if you want to grow and become more like Jesus.
If you want to succeed at grit, you have to be willing to both fail and to trust God in and with your failure. Is He trustworthy? He has already proved he is.
