The fisherman that didn't try

Once upon a time, a fisherman let his Master down. The Master mentored, trusted in, and provided for him. The Master had warned the fisherman that he would fail, but said "do not worry, even as you fail me, you'll be okay. It will be alright. You can still be great."

When the day of the majestic fail came, the fisherman no longer felt worthy of a great life, so he went back to his old, bad habits. Upon time the fishermen's wife said "Peter, why are you doing this again? What happened to your dreams?". To which, the 'humble' fisherman replied "I am not worthy, I'll never get there"

The same happens with our lives:

• We don't study because we don't think we can get the good grade
• We don't attempt to be holy because we don't feel worthy
• We don't exercise because we'll never be as fit as that guy on TV
• We don't try to talk to her because we think she won't be attracted anyway

STOP!
I wanna tell you that:

• Yes, if you do study, you can get that good grade and much more
• Yes, you can be holy if you make the commitment
• Yes, you can be fit, real fit if you discipline yourself
• Yes, you can attract that girl, or another one, but you must decide

Don't make excuses any longer. A tree grows as far as it can, likewise, go as far as you can. Don't limit yourself and the Lord your God. You're meant for greatness!

The story ends well - the fisherman saw his Master's Word come to be true. Later in life, his shadow healed the sick, and thousands came to see him as a leader. That fisherman's name was Peter and his Master was and is still known as Jesus Christ.
