Samson was called to live a life that had lots of restrictions and honestly he made a lot of mistakes, but that is why God tells us this story. He tells the story of Samson because Samson is strong because God makes it so. Even more than that though is that when Samson gets in a position where he is not strong enough God gives him the strength he needs.
There's this song by Natalie Grant who is an awesome Christian music artist. The song is called Perfect People and the chorus is awesome.
There's no such thing as perfect people There's no such thing as a perfect life So come as you are, broken and scared Lift up your heart and be amazed And be changed by a perfect God.

No matter what you do in life you will always have God. Always. Friends will come and go, even your family won't be able to be there for you all the time, because they are in fact human. God is the only being in our lives that will always be next to us, supporting us and pushing us to keep going. Remember that this week and every week of your life. Remember when Jonah was scared and ran away? God saved him. Remember when the Israelites were in a bad spot thanks to a giant called Goliath? God delivered them. Samson was in a bad spot, God gave him what he needed.
Yeah the story of Samson is really cool and inspiring. I mean he brings down an entire temple. That's awesome, but the gracious Love that God always offers is so much more amazing than anything anybody can offer. Ever.
