RE: If You Want Success, Allow Yourself to Fail More!!!

in #mindset5 years ago

Failure is not your end. In the Bible we find several examples of people who failed, despite having all the conditions to succeed. But let me refer to a particular character.
Samson, the Failure of a Hero.
In Judges chapter 16 we find the shameful story of Samson and Delilah.
As you know, Samson was a Hebrew man who was appointed by God to lead his country, Israel, to victory against the Philistines. For this, the Lord endowed Samson with extraordinary physical strength, something like a Hercules or a superman. The strength of this subject was really extraordinary; however, he had a weakness: He let himself be seduced by the sensual pleasure of the opposite sex. In other words, failure was at the door of this man's life. And in fact, the Bible does not hesitate to mention that Samson fell into a state of shameful fornication even for our times: Delilah, a lovely young Philistine led him to the point of breakdown, fall and total sin. Yes my friends, the Bible tells us that Samson failed in his mission to liberate Israel, Samson failed despite initially having the support of God, his family, his countrymen.

What I mean by this is: The Bible speaks of men and women who failed, but it also speaks of the love of God that forgives and restores.

How many of us here have experienced the pain of failure? I'm sure there are people in this community who have experienced the pain of failure in their marriage, failure with their children, failure in their company or business, failure in their studies, failure in their personal lives. Hey, I have also failed! But something I tell you: In his perfect will God uses our failure as a second chance to succeed in life, how many believe it?

Failure is an Opportunity to Grow.
Each failure teaches man something he needed to learn (Charles Dickens, British writer).
Failure is sometimes more fruitful than success (Henry Ford, American industrialist).
Failure fortifies the strong (Antoine de Saint, French writer).

The Bible tells us that no matter how many times we fail, God will always be willing to rise up, God will always be there to help us.
