Here I am, still in the furnace. I have not gotten better and that's all I ever focus on. I forget that I did not get worse. Sometimes that is all I can expect.
Grace is God drawing us sinners closer and closer to himself. So instead of shielding us from assault by the world, the flesh and the devil, he exposes us to these things so as to overwhelm us with a sense of our own inadequacy, and to drive us to cling to him more closely. (from J.I.Packer)
He will not give us more than we can bear 1Cor10:13 but equally not less Acts14:22 Additionally, the bible is full of stories of failures who get turned around and go on to glorify God.
