Mistakes: The Price Of Being Human

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. Psalm 107:13

Mistakes: nobody likes 'em but everybody makes 'em. Sometimes, even if you're a very good person, you're going to mess things up. And when you do, God is always ready to forgive you - He'll do His part, but you should be willing to do your part, too. Here's what you need to do:

1. If you've been engaging in behavior that is against the will of God, cease and desist (that means stop).
   
2. If you made a mistake, learn from it and don't repeat it (that's called getting smarter).
3. If you've hurt somebody, apologize and ask forgiveness (that's called doing the right thing).
4. Ask for God's forgiveness, too (He'll give you it whenever you ask, but you need to ask!).

Have you made a mistake? If so, today is a perfect day to make things right with everybody (and the word "everybody " includes yourself, your family, your friends, and God).
Mistakes are the price you pay for being human; repeated mistakes are the price you pay for being stubborn. So don't be hardheaded: so learn from your experiences - the first time!
