Imagine this. I reach up and get up on my tippy toes to try to grab the shade of lipstick I wanted that was positioned on the top shelf as if it was childproof. That's such a pain when things like that happen right?
Well, keeping in mind my awesome balance (I'm kidding), I was able to reach up and grab the lipstick right? Well, let me say half right. Meaning, I got the lipstick at a price I did not want to pay. Let's say I fell dead on my face, knocked myself out, and was rushed to the emergency room. That would have been bad huh? I bet I probably would not care for that lipstick shade in the future.
That was just an example my sometimes crazy and bizarre mind concocted just now. See, that's how maybe some of us think sometimes. I know sometimes I think I'm like that of superwoman. And, who cares if I have difficulty doing certain things because of my disability? UM I SHOULD CARE!
I guess maybe that's why God doesn't stop mistakes from happening at times. He wants us to learn from them and fix our minds on not repeating the same mistakes. Sometimes, I really feel like God is allowing my mistake so I can apologize. The other party can be forgiving. And, God definitely would want me to learn from the mistake.
That definitely does not mean I am giving a free pass to making mistakes. No! I am certainly not telling you what to do. Remember I am just sharing my deep thoughts and I believe you have inquiring minds, so feel free to make your own thoughts regarding mistakes. I gather you never really thought about this subject huh? I'd love to see your thoughts as well! :)
This is a song with great words that can be your prayer as it is mine, because Lord knows I need all the help He can give when I need to be forgiving. Enjoy!
