We all fail sometimes

  Anyone who has been a Christian for very long can recall a time when they just didn't stand up for God when they should have.  Your palms and brow sweat. "You wimpy coward!" screams out from your very innards making you feel like you could literally curl up and die. Guess what? We have all been there.

  Imagine Peter as he denied Jesus for the third time as that old cock crowed. Just as Jesus told him he would do. As brave and courageous as Peter was he almost gave everything about his life with Christ. Peter feared for his own life as he watched the angry crowd beat and tourer our sinless Savior. Jesus was God but also a sinless man.

  God knows we will fail, that is why we need a Savior. No one, not even a "saint" will ever be "good enough" to make it to heaven on their merits. Jesus accepts us where we are. He ask us to call on Him when we need a helping hand. He's the most understanding friend we will ever know. Jesus is the only helpful constant companion we will ever have .

 "What a friend we have in Jesus-All our sins and griefs to carry, take it to the Lord in Prayer!" Remember that wonderful old song? :)

  When you fail, just remember Jesus stands with open arms waiting to pick you back up. He still loves you and so do many brothers and sisters in Christ that understand forgiveness because of three spikes, the only sinless loving Savior, and His love that says, "You were worth dying for; I Love You."

"For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will stand before God's judgement seat. It is written:

'As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God."

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God."              Romans 14:9-12 NIV
