Insignificant Failures

I imagined I had died and had been in heaven for a while when Jesus came strolling by. He stopped, He lingered, He sat on a rock and we chatted. After a while He said, “So, tell me about your life on earth.” And I said, “Well, if you strip everything away I failed.’ And He said, “All have failed”. And I remembered the Scripture that said, “All have sinned.” It’s like He was saying, “No big deal – that is true of everyone. Now tell me something else, something interesting.” Somehow from that perspective, my failures lost their significance.
