Hope in the Midst of Failure

For you who have failed and feel like rejects consider this...the Bible is full of people who believed but messed up royally at times as they tried to figure out the will of God for their life—Jacob took advantage of his brother and deceived his father; Moses killed a man; David numbered the people; Peter refused to sit at table with Gentile Christians. If God restored David after his adultery with Bathsheba and set up of the murder of Uriah, if Jesus recommissioned Peter after he denied Him three times, then He can and will and wants to restore you when you admit you have sinned and failed badly in missing, or neglecting to obey or discern His will.

View the will of God like He views His will...it is His heart desire for people near to His heart...not a commodity to pursue and attain, but a state of being in conformity to His desires, dwelling in Him, as God draws you deeper into relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
