For us as Christians, failure is never final. This is because the Holy Spirit is constantly working in us to accomplish His purposes. God's standard of success does not coincide with the world's standard. For that reason He does not shield us from the consequences of our actions just because we are His children. He may let us fall on our face, but He always urges us to view the humiliation of defeat as a steppingstone toward maturity. Here are 3 suggestions for turning failure into success:(1) Honestly face defeat; never fake success. (2) Exploit the failure; don't waste it. Learn all you can from it; every bitter experience can teach us something. (3) Never use failure as an excuse for not trying again. You may not be able to reclaim the loss, undo the damage, or reverse the consequences, but you can make a new start - wiser, more sensitive, renewed by the Holy Spirit, and more determined to do right.

God is always working for our good in every situation, and we must act on that good in order to grow. Knowing how to benefit from failure is the key to success!
