"Mistake"

Life is full of mistakes. Mistake in making a decision, mistake in doing things that you thought was right, mistake in hurting someone, mistake in choosing friends, and mistake in saying things that you will regret in the end.

I have made many mistakes in my life, and they are obvious to others, especially my friends. I agree with scripture that it is easier for us to see the specks in others' eyes than to see the log in our own eye.

My own devotional time gives me the opportunity to look at myself honestly. In these moments of silent reflection, I look back not only at my experiences but also at my responses. I reevaluate my choices and judgments. The presence of the Lord in my life not only helps me discover my errors but also brings me peace. I work out ways to make amends; hurt feelings are healed, and I experience greater growth in life.

However, there are some people not willing and open to make amends. They rather choose to stay away from you and simply ignore your effort when you make peace with them.

But God is not like that. When we come to Him with a personal mistake or sin. God does not throw us away because of a mistake. Instead, God works around our mistake and weaves it into the beautiful, colored tapestry of life.

We don't have to give up when we feel that we have failed God. When we come to God, admit our failing, and resolve to do better, God is ready to forgive.
