"It's part of life." But it really is, IF we're growing. If we numb and distract ourselves away from God's growth opportunities, we can really get off track. When you have made a mistake, own it, apologize for it, learn from it, and tether yourself to Christ BECAUSE of it. We can't do this on our own. We're not supposed to. And if you think you can, sin is probably getting in there. When you make a mistake it is a grace. "It is His kindness that leads us to repentance." Romans 2:4 How cool is it that he redirects us on THIS side of eternity. Accept a failure as a gift. A gift to grow. A gift to say "never again". A gift to completely change everything. A gift to make an important tweak. A gift to make a life-altering habit change. (Yes, habits alter our lives... more on that another time!) Bravo to you for growing. Bravo to you for listening to God's leadership. "His ROD and His staff, comfort me." Psalms 23:4 His rod is his direction and redirection -- we get to be comforted by the fact that He will not let us go off the path into danger. If we allow his rod which is firm and instructive to guide us. Listen in for encouragement and the knowledge that your failure is a GOOD opportunity for God's work in you.
