JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Most people fear failure above all else, and it keeps them from living out their dreams.
Thomas Edison was one of the greatest inventors of all times. He had over 1,000 inventions and held more patents than any other person in the world – at least one every year for 65 straight years. He said that “Genius,” is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. He believed in hard work and perseverance. However, he failed at finding the right material for the incandescent light bulb thousands of times before he found the right combination. He said, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
When you turn on your lights tonight, be thankful that Edison didn’t let failure stop him. Today, don’t let the fear of failure stop you from living life to the fullest. Also, don’t let a failure keep you from trying again. I invite you to come and connect with us at Central.
