How does God measure success?In the Bible, you'll find no lack of sinfulness, shortcomings, rejections, and broken people. People like Joseph, Rahab, David, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, The Samaritan Woman, Peter, and Paul. Yet, we don't think of these people as failures. Rather, we see them as people God transformed, turning their lack into faithfulness for His good.Study these eight biblical figures to see that God does the same for you. He takes what you or society perceives as failure and transforms you for His plan. God does not judge based on earthly standards. No blunder is too big for him. No mess-up is beyond repair. His goodness goes beyond and turns your missteps into miracles.

When we are weary or frightened, God wraps us in His care. When we feel fretful, apprehensive, discomforted, our heavenly Father comforts us, calms us, and reassures us. And when we are feeling strong and brave, rejoicing in all the good things life can offer, our Lord is with us then, too, with the perfect grace and love that only He can provide."Contributing AuthorsDonna Snow ¿ Deb Burma ¿ Rebekah Curtis ¿ Caitlin May Dinger ¿ Molly Dixon ¿ Sharla Fritz ¿ Perla Gil de Rodriguez ¿ Christina Hergenrader ¿ Martha Streufert Jander ¿ Darcy Paape ¿ Kristina Paul ¿ Sarah Schultz ¿ Alli Bauck ¿ Terri Bentley ¿ Amy Bird ¿ Elizabeth Bruick ¿ Faith Doerr ¿ Margo Heath-Dupre ¿ Wendysue Fluegge ¿ Angie Goeke ¿ Heidi Goehmann ¿ Hannah Hansen ¿ Lindsay Hausch ¿ Sarah Holtan ¿ Haleh Kersten ¿ Pat Maier ¿ Cassie Moore ¿ Raquel A.
