A Great Fall



A Great Fall
42 sec.

Gabby Douglas is a star.  The world has been watching this young lady perform at the Olympics this week.  And last night, with millions of people watching, she fell off the balance beam.

What does one do after a great fall?

We get back up.

It takes courage to get back on the beam after a fall, but that’s what Gabby did, and that’s what we should do after our great failures.

Guess what.  Gabby is still loved and adored by her millions of fans, even after her fall. 

After any kind of failure one might name, it takes courage to approach God.  But that’s what we do.  And we find grace. 

We find grace, and we learn after a great fall.

Words to live by.
