Day 2: Failure You Have Experienced

God gives us many trials and tribulations in our life. Sometimes we pass, sometimes we fail. In this moment, it is hard to choose one failure in my life to tell you about because there are so many, in fact I have on everyday. My Faith gets tested everyday. The past two Wednesday nights our youth pastor has taught us about letting God interfere. I guess that is the failure I want to tell you about. It may be my biggest failure. The first part in this failure is denying Christ into my heart repeatedly. I hate that I did that. Knowing that this tugging on my heart was Him saying "become my daughter" and me constantly saying no. At that time, I honestly didn't know I was saying no until one day I suddenly felt sorrow in my heart, began to cry, then opened my Bible and I remember reading Deuteronomy 32:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." I knew from that day on that I was and am a Believer and Follower of Christ. They story of course doesn't end there though I wish it did. Even though I became a Follower, I still didn't always act as I should. In different places  I used to act different ways, and I'm still not one hundred percent there, but I work everyday to be the same person I am on the inside everywhere I go, and not a different person at every place I end up.  This past Wednesday we were talking about what society thinks of us and I think my youth pastor misunderstood me. One of my fellow youth members was saying how she cared about what people thought about her, and I kept asking questions but the whole time I was trying to get at that what she should be looking at is through God's eyes because he has the final judgment. Who cares if you are popular in high school? Who cares if you've got the latest fashions? God sure doesn't. So why should it matter? We should live our lives pleasing to Him and not society because society gives you eternal Hell but God gives you eternal life in Heaven! At Liberty Winterfest 2013, Sadie Roberson was there and told me to stop worrying about what others thought of me that the only one who mattered is God and I took it to heart and believe that. I look at this failure in life as my biggest gift. Without this failure I would not spend my life in Heaven when I die. So I am not ashamed of this failure, I'm blessed to have had it. Without failures in life, we wouldn't be so happy about the success!
