“Master we have toiled all night and have taken nothing”.

This sounds like failure, but if we have toiled all night and lost nothing perhaps we are on the way to success. Success and failure are deep, inward, and spiritual experiences. The chief concern is not over the thing we do not win, but the thing we do not lose. So often success wrings every ounce of love and joy out of our work leaving the heart empty, whereas if we have tried and failed we are strengthened not only to try again but to help some one else to reach their goal.

“We lose what on ourselves we spend,

We have as treasure without end, Whatever to the Lord we lend,

Who givest all”.
