Have you ever made a mistake that you decided to just ignore. Ignore in the sense that you fail to acknowledge it even though everyday you are reminded of it π, you decide to move on without actually dealing with it and then after a long time of self denial you finally face it and correct it π§π§ .
Nothing can actually be harder than correcting a mistake only you know to be one. A mistake that even people applaud you for, making it easier to just go with the flow.
I think I've found myself in this type of situation before and I can't help but wonder if I'm the only one 'amazing' enough to do such a thing.
It's amazing though how much God cares about us that even though we put ourselves in that situation he is very ready to help us out all by himself without even rubbing it in our faces ππ. But trust me, the devil will have nothing of that. He is so going to rub it in your face like what else can he even do when God has decided to help you. Pitiful!
It is important to note you are not your mistakes though. That you made a mistake doesn't define who you are, if anything, it makes you wiser and smarter. You know what you don't want or need at least. I like the saying of Thomas Edison that though he failed 1000 times, he learnt 1000 ways not to make a light bulb.
Second, In Christ, grace speaks for you and so you don't have to pay the price. Jesus paid it all πππ.
My conclusion, I would try my best to listen to the inward witness better so I can avoid all those mistakes, yet if I stumble, I would listen to him yet again because only him can get me out.
I love that I'm not helpless, that I have the one who created the universe on my side and he loves to love me .
I like that when I fall, there is that hand waiting to help me up every single time because he was there to help me not fall in the first place.
I love that God Almighty has called me his own and I don't even want to do anything about it but live like his own.
You see, your mistakes are part of the scars that make you look beautifully human wrapped by Gods grace. The only reason you would at times be able to justify your humanity because indeed you are a totally new creature in Christ.
My point is this, though I make mistakes, they don't define me and I would always let God's love bring me out and because I'm certain all things work together for my good, I don't even let the devil rub it in my face.
Look back at those mistakes and smile because something beautiful has come out of it!
