MAKING MISTAKES

I talked to two people yesterday who said they had made some mistakes in their life that they felt bad about. I shared God's grace with them and told them that this is the nature of our wayward sinful hearts. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Look at Peter. He failed but then prevailed. Why? Because Jesus restored him.

Are you feeling bad about some mistakes you have made in your life? Remember that in Christ there is no condemnation (Rom 8:1). Let God's grace cover you guffaws. Watch what God will do when you put your "falling short" in His hands. You can become a trophy of God's grace. Others will be inspired, not by you, but by what God has done in restoring you.

(Rom 5:20) ... where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

Have a blessed day!
