From "Finishing Strong" by Steve Farrar - Chapter 8
"He who has never failed cannot be great. Failure is the true test of greatness" - Herman Melville
Our society is intoxicated with the idea of success. That's why we are so afraid of failure. But if you know Jesus Christ, you should know that failure can be the back door to success. The fact of the matter is this: God uses our failure to equip us for future success.
When you look behind the scenes at some of the most successful people in all of history, you will find that they were not unacquainted with failure. And it was failure that became the bedrock that enabled them to handle the triumphs that came later.
