Failure of man

This morning I am thankful for those men of Christ who have failed/dissapointed me.
I was thinking this morning of failing others in their time of need and I guess it led me to think on those who have failed me. Could be something as simple as a time when I was looking for encouragement. Maybe someone who hasnt been there for me in my time of need even during a time I was crying help for help. Could move on to guys Ive worked with who were deacons and Gideons leaders of their church yet were constantly degrading others, telling off color jokes and always making lustful comments. The men who have coward down and not done the right thing. Maybe its the local business man who while I see then walk up right there is a rumor of unfair business practices. Maybe its the husband who while on the outside all is well is running around. I am thankful for each of these people in my life. If these people had not failed me I could easily place my faith in them. While its important to have mentors and its important to look up to fellow Christians we must be careful to not shift our focus from God to man. I am thankful for each man who has failed me in life I am even more grateful for a God who never has.
