My knees gave way crossing the Pyrenees. Disappointed, my
focus was on the first part of that sentence, but I’ve been challenged to focus
on the second half. I crossed the Pyrenees on foot. Carrying a pack. In the
rain. The pain in the rain in Spain was not in the plain, but in the mountains.
But I did it.
The tendency is to focus on the negative failures and leave
the positive accomplishments in the shade.
Jesus looks at us and sees our potential. He calls forth the
gold in each of us. Whether it’s crossing a mountain range on foot or in our
hearts or heads, we need to celebrate our victories and let the failures fade.
Whatever tough terrain we’re navigating, he is right there
with us.
