I was reading in my devotional today about Timothy, the Apostle Paul's protege. Timothy had a complex because of his age, his appearance, etc. He felt no one would take him seriously. Paul urged Timothy to live a godly, pure life in order to set the example of Christian living, in short, be a witness.
I have known failure in my service to God and I have been letting it hold me down. But now I see that perhaps my "failure" was a test, a test that could have been a failure if I hadn't seen it for what it was.
I am getting back on the horse, so to speak, and I encourage any and all that may read this to take heart in your circumstances. All is not lost because Christ is eternal and it's all for Him. Our "failures" are for Him and, yes, He's worth the risk of failing. Knowing this, isn't not trying a sin?
Pray with me:
Father,
Thank you for setting my sights on things above and not on this earth. I only want to serve you in anyway and not on my terms, but yours. I love You and am wholly yours.
In Jesus's Name,Amen.
Thank you all and may God Bless.
