“Everybody makes mistakes.” are a child’s comforting words when we screw up. How do you know when you have made too many mistakes to try again? Are you breathing? Then no, it’s not too late.
Experience demands repetition. The deeper you delve into a subject or topic the more proficient you become. What about Life? How do you become proficient at life? Don’t give up.
What’s on your plate? Whatever it is, it is meant to bring you great blessings. The good and the bad. There are many stories of people who, though disabled, have gone on to win marathons and great physical accomplishments.
So, first things first, who are you performing for? Only a scraggly old hermit living in the mountains, doesn’t care what he smells like or how many teeth are missing. He doesn’t care what people think. I say we need a little more of that attitude. How about a whole new focus. What if we stoped and considered what God thought of us. I don’t think we’d be posting pictures of our booty on TicTok to impress Him.
The point is if your life audience is a Loving Father God, then your daily failures are opportunities for Him to SHINE through you. It’s like you are a very precious vessel. With the power of Christ in You, YOU WILL RADIATE LIGHT AND LOVE.
8 I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me. 9 But[a] he said to me, “My grace is enough[b] for you, for my[c] power is made perfect[d] in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9
How can it be that a mistake ridden human can radiate light? It is through the power of forgiveness. Holy Forgiveness. Christ on the Cross forgiveness. Through His death, burial and RESURRECTION, forgiveness. You as an individual were set on earth through the miracle of birth. You were gifted with an opportunity to reach for and love your creator or distance and run from Him.
