John 21
We live in a world where people put a spotlight on perfection. We watch perfect people on TV with perfect hair and makeup. We follow perfect people on social media that seem to live perfect lives. And the problem with that is... All this perceived perfection in our world today... has a way of making us feel pretty bad about our own lives.
And here’s why: When all you see is someone else’s highlight reel... you tend to compare their high points to your reality... and when you do that, you forget what real life is supposed to look like. Listen... Your life here on this earth... is never going to be perfect. Can I get an amen?
In this life, you will have setbacks and experience disappointments. You will walk through difficult seasons. You will mess up... and you will fail. That’s true for all of us... But what I want us to see today from [John chapter 21] is... it’s how you respond to failure that will determine your future.
- There was once a General, who lost two-thirds of all the battles he fought in the American Revolution. Think about that... In all of his battles... 66.6% of the time, HE LOST!!! ... That General’s name... was George Washington. You know his name today because ultimately, he won the war.
- There was another guy who graduated 42nd in his class of 43 people. That same guy later went out and conquered Europe. His name: Napoleon.
- Thomas Edison tried over 200 different elements before he figured out the right element to use in the light bulb. He experienced over 200 failures before he finally got it right.
The question isn’t... Will you fail? You will! People who never fail, never try! Failure is a part of the process. Many times, you’ve got to get it wrong before you can get it right! So, let’s just embrace the fact that we all fail... and be willing to address the question ... NOT-’’Will I fail?’’... but... How will I respond to failure?
