Mistakes

 


  Forgetting those things which are behind … I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus

                                                   Phil. 3:13, 14


It is not by regretting what is irreparable that true work is to be done, but by making the best of what we are. It is not by complaining that we have not the right tools, but by using well the tools we have. What we are and where we are, is God’s providential arrangement—God’s doing, though it may be man’s misdoing. Life is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian who makes the fewest false steps. He is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes.

Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997).


Our lives are often a string of mistakes, failures and shortcomings. When we look back, we realize they cannot be undone so we press on. With those mistakes in mind, we press on in the hope of greater results than those of the past. Mistakes forgotten are mistakes repeated. Love of the Lord and His word is a sure footing in the way of life. 


May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.

  1. As horrific as it all was, I wouldn't change the past because without it, I wouldn't have received the blessings I have now.
    Love and hugs xoxo
