God has called each of us to fulfill a purpose in life. Whatever tragedy you have gone through, whatever trial you have faced, whatever obstacles have stood in your way, the key to moving ahead is to never give up. God has not called you to something he will not equip you to accomplish. God has not called us to fail, but to trust in Him for victory. You cannot fail if you are fulfilling God’s will for your life. God doesn’t call us to results, but to obedience to the tasks he has set before us.
