44 hours. That is how long I had a 3D print going. This was supposed to be a present for a family member and it looked great for over 40 hours, then at the end, a major unfixable (without a table saw, epoxy, patience, and time) error. I was frustrated. I wanted to say several unChristian words and toss it against the wall. But I knew, I couldn’t give up. The funny thing was I posted about it on Facebook and a friend said it would make a good #faithbites lesson. He was right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have failure and fall far short of the Glory of God. It is ok. What matters is how we deal with the failure. Sure, 44 hours is a long time and wasted materials but in the grand scheme of things, it is small potatoes. Heck, some of us have behaviors that are not good for us, are failures, and we’ve been doing them for years and decades. The hard part is when do you acknowledge the failure and how do you correct it. In this case, I case the failure, but wasn’t sure how bad it was and through it could correct itself. I could have saved a couple of hours and some plastic, but let it go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you continuing to fail because you are afraid? Have you stopped the activity and now don’t know where to go? Remember, Jesus forgives and wants you to use your failures to grow and succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
