The Lesson:

By learning to fail, the player learns not to be too hard on himself.

You have to learn from your mistakes, put them behind you,

and become a better player.

Life Application:

God does His best to teach us that we are all failures (Romans 3:23),

but He has a plan for our lives (John 3:16,17,18a). When we accept the plan,

we will still sometimes strike out, make errors, and never pitch a perfect game...

but we will always be able to go on, pick ourselves up,

shake the dust off and move forward with Christ.

The next time you step up to the plate and God gives you an opportunity

to share His story and His love with someone else,

remember, because you have learned to fail,

you can call on Him and through HIS strength,

you can be strong.

(2 Cor. 12:9-10)
