When you fail, don’t feel sorry for yourself and wallow in self-pity. God loves you and has chosen you as a vessel to carry His gift to the world. He doesn’t make bad decisions. So get back on your feet and get started moving forward again.
Self-Pity
Oswald Chambers
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. … When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. … Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world.
Sarah Young
Self-pity is a slimy, bottomless pit. Once you fall in, you tend to go deeper and deeper into the mire. As you slide down those slippery walls, you are well on your way to depression, and the darkness is profound.
