Note: This is an old comic, there are a lot more examples I can give. In fact, most everyone in the Bible fail in some way. Just goes to show that we ALL fall short of the glory of God!
Original Commentary (From November 8th, 2020):
"I encourage you to read the stories of these Bible characters. You will find that these are simply imperfect men that are being used by God to accomplish His will. Though we all fall short at times and even mess up badly, God does not forsake us. If we have a willing heart, God will for sure use us. When you do mess up, know that God will treat you with grace and forgiveness. Of course, the consequences of our own actions will still take place, we can have peace that God is behind it all and everything works together for the good of those who love God.
If God can forgive you, if He can forgive David for adultery and murder, then He will by no means forsake others who mess up. So the next time we hear about a fellow Christian succumbing to sin, our first thought should be one of love and understanding. Does it excuse their mistakes? No. But we know that God is the judge, and He will be the one working on their hearts. All we are to do is to pray for them, be there for them if needed, not judge or lose faith over them. Remember, love is long-suffering, love remembers no wrongs, love always hopes and forgives, and most of all, love never fails. God’s love didn’t fail us. And if won’t fail on anyone who belongs to Him. Hallelujah."
