PETER, OR THE ELEVEN

"Failure is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night." - Zig Ziglar 

Which?

Someone said, "Fall seven times, stand up eight." Do you know that failing, is not ALWAYS failure, because failure is not the opposite of success, it's a part of success. You'll never know what possibilities lie in front of you, until you try - step out in faith - not minding the possibility of failing.

The decision to succeed involves a choice between risk and comfort. To be a follower of Jesus, we must chose to renounce comfort as the ultimate value of our lives: we’re built to enjoy comfort. Truth is, water walkers master failure. Failure is not an event, but a judgment about an event. It's not something that happens to us, or a label we attach to things. It is a way we think about outcomes. Do you think Peter failed? In a way he did. His doubts were stronger than his faith. 'He saw the wind.' He took his eyes off of where they should have been. He sank. He failed.
