Moving front and back (is still moving front)

There is a famous book written in the 1980's by Chuck Swindoll. The title was 'Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back.' We can relate to that, can't we? The problem is that we are prone to focus on the two steps back and not the three steps forward. The flubs, failures and fiascos capture our attention to the point that we lose heart and wonder if it's worth it. But can I remind you that three steps forward followed by two steps back still equals a net gain of one step forward? Sure you're not what you want to be ultimately. None of us are. But thank God you're not what you used to be. You are being formed by God into a world changers. Way to go!"
