We are imperfect, living in an imperfect world. Mistakes are part of the price we pay for being here. But, even though mistakes are an inevitable part of life‘s journey, repeated mistakes should not be. When we commit the unavoidable blunders of life, we must correct them, learn from them, and pray to God for the wisdom not to repeat them. Then if we are successful, our mistakes become lessons, and our lives become adventures in growth, not stagnation. Mistakes offer the possibility for redemption. No matter what we are guilty of, God can restore our innocence. When we make mistakes and fall short of God’s commandments, let us ask for His forgiveness. Let us learn from our mistakes so that we can be better examples to our family, friends, and all around us. — Psalm 51:1-2
