from failures to success.......
In politics, our minds immediately go to Abraham Lincoln. In spite of his family's poverty, he rose to the greatest heights as a leader of men. In Tupelo, Mississippi, the son of a drunkard grew to influence popular music and modern culture like few others. His name was Elvis Presley. The seacoast city of Wilmington, NC seemed an unlikely place for a cultural icon to be born. Michael Jordan had an ordinary childhood until high school when his basketball talents began to blossom.

Those are worldly examples, but the same principle applies in religious circles. D.L. Moody was an orphan who grew up with none of life's luxuries. No one thought that his life would amount to anything special. The great missionary David Livingstone was born near Glasgow, Scotland to a very poor family. He was forced to work in the local cotton mill at ten years old to help his family. One of the greatest preachers and hymnwriters in Christian history was John Newton. His mother died when he was seven, and his father raised him on board the ships he sailed. At twelve, he was on his own. As an adult, he was captain of a slave ship. One could look at Newton's early life and wonder how such a one could ever do anything for God.
