Morningstar making mistakes is a part of our nature. Only God is perfect, only Jesus was able to walk this Earth without ever messing up. We are all flawed, we have all made mistakes and will continue to make them. It’s because of our imperfection that we need God. We don’t stop making mistakes the moment we put our faith in Him. How we handle these situations, ultimately will form who we are.
These mistakes are a key part of our journey with God and test our character or even our faith. A mentor once told me, “It is not about how you fall down, it’s about how you get back up.” Often times it is tempting to give up, but that is when we need to remember God’s forgiveness and love. He will never allow anything to stand between us. So when will fall down, what matters is how we get back up.
The hardest lesson I’ve had to learn was how to recover from my mistakes. It took a while to understand how to do this, until I looked to David as an example. The Bible says, “David is a man after God’s own heart” even though he still made mistakes. David is a great example of how to handle mistakes with humility. After every mistake we see him make, he recognizes them, calls them out and begs for forgiveness. We need to realize that what we have just done is not who we are nor does it define us. Once we take our mistakes to God, we can start to grow from that experience. We have already been forgiven by His love and grace. Learn from David and and the way he handled his mistakes.
