Fail
Posted by Colston | | Posted On Thursday, November 18, 2010
Im a failure in so many aspects of the word. Singing= fail... dancing=fail... juggling=fail... playing an instrument=fail... skateboarding= fail... loving others at all times= fail... worshiping God at all time=fail... being selfless=fail...
This week I read a verse that I have read many many times but that struck me in light of being a failure. Eph. 2:10--For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
The list could go on for a long time... just ask my wife!
I have come to grips with the fact that I fail. I have learned a lot from my failures. It has allowed me to know and understand who I am a whole lot better.

I realize that I will fail at loving God and loving others. i realize that I will fail at worshiping God with all my life. Then I read this verse and realize that God still has something incredible for me. I realize that God still desires my worship, still desires my heart, still desires my love even though I will fail to give it all to Him.
Most of us, we someone betrays us we don't allow then to get close enough to hurt us again. I am thankful that God isn't like this... He doesn't give up on you and I when we fail.
Its this little thing God has called unconditional love and man is it good stuff!

Great post, Colston!
That's the gospel.
We aren't often up to it (the Christian life)...but He loves and forgives us, anyway.
Thanks for sharing that Good News!
