Who we look up to...

King David was a murderer and an adulterer.

(2 Samuel 11:14-17 - 2 Samuel 11:2-4) 
Jonah fled and refused to accept.
(Jonah 1:3) 
Jacob was a deceiver and showed favouritism.
(Genesis 27:18-19 - Genesis 37:3) 
King Solomon was a womanizer.
(1 Kings 11:1-4) 
Paul killed countless believers.
(Acts 8:1-3)
Noah was a drunkard. 
(Genesis 9:20-21) 
Mary was demon possessed.
(Luke 8:2) 
Zachariah doubted. 
(Luke 1:18-20) 
Simon Peter denied Jesus three times.
(Matthew 26:69-75)
Thomas refused to believe unless he saw.
(John 20:24-27)
Rahab was a harlot.
(Joshua 2:1) 
Abraham was impatient.
(Genesis 16:5) 

And funnily enough, we look up to these individuals. The truth is, these men and women were just like us, friend. They were sinners. They fell short, and stumbled along the way. God still used them. He can and will use you if we allow Him to and give Him our all in all. We will still stagger, for the way is narrow and difficult (Matthew 7:14) but He shall be right there with us, a Guide (Psalm 48:14) and a Lamp to our feet (Psalm 119:105). Just believe, and yearn. 

Romans 3:23


But I still believe that...





His,
