If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
EPHESIANS 3:2-13
We all have failed many times before. We all feel down when we tried to walk.
That was failure! Don't be afraid to fail and don't stay at your point if failure and mistake because failure does not mean you are a failure.
It is better to have tried to climb a mountain and fallen/failed than to live in the deceitful comfort of the plain.
It better to have fought and demonstrated your courage even if you failed than to live in the paradise of timid souls.
He who tries and fail may be a founder of a better day and become the way for weaker souls! Forgive yourself for that big mistake/ failure of the past.
Have you ever seen a man and woman of God used mightily without initial failure? Check it out - from Adam to Moses through Malachi, to the generation of the Apostles ( for example, Paul in today's scripture).
The same story line is what you will see. Failure is the father of fortune.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not capable of crashing in on the experience.
Refuse to be one. Move on with determination.
