DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF

God can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to God.

Look to God for trust, anticipating that God’s infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad into a lovely design.

Because we are human, we will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses.

Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on God. God is able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes.

Trust God and watch to see what He can do.
