“To bear failure with courage is the best proof of character that anyone can give... You will find that people forget the failures of others very quickly.... My last piece of advice is not to let anyone see your mortification, but whatever you fancy people are saying about you to go on with your ordinary life as though nothing unpleasant had happened to you.” PeopleGivingCharacterLastsForgetPiecesHappenedAdviceFailureGoes OnBearsOrdinaryProofFancyOrdinary LifeMortification Author:W.

“I do not believe in a God who would set up rules and commandments only to wait for us to fail so He could punish us. I believe in a Heavenly Father who is loving and caring and who rejoices in our every effort to stand tall and walk toward Him. Even when we stumble, He urges us not to be discouraged-never to give up or flee our allotted field of service-but to take courage, find our faith, and keep trying.” LoveGivingTryingBelieveGodCareChristianFaithFatherBeliefI BelieveWaitingReligiousWalksEffortChristianityCourageFailingFieldsFailureGiving UpI Believe InCaringPunishmentGod LoveHeavenlyUrgesTallRejoiceCommandmentsNot Giving UpNever Giving UpDiscouragedKeep TryingHeavenly FatherStumblingFleeing Author:Dieter F.
