"Because you are human, you 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 Me. I am able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust Me, and watch to see what I will do.
MY THOUGHTS...
all my life I have struggled with being very hard on myself and not giving myself leeway. not sure exactly what in life creates this kind of scenario but it's real. I definitely deal with this often and I also wrestle with God over it trying to give it over to him and realize that my sin is the whole reason and purpose for the cross. it is so hard for my mind to comprehend that and probably never will completely. my uncle wrote a book about living in the moment and it constantly reminds me about forgetting the past and not being so focused on the future that I miss the moments in my life. My mind can be so overpowering thinking about the past and the future...it takes much of my energy away from experiencing what life has for me at any given point in time. This happens to me a lot.
Lord I ask you to help me with this... I know you already are. I really have a desire in my heart to live each day fuller and to enjoy the moments and get the most out of the moments that come each day...good or bad.
