“You can never make the same mistake twice
because the second time you make it; it’s not a mistake. It’s a choice.”* There
was only one perfect human being (Jesus) that lived on this Earth.
Our goal in life is to become more like Jesus
every day. Though no one today is perfect (or sinless), we can all observe the
mistakes we make, learn from them, and resolve not to repeat them again.
Controlling the words that come out of our
mouth is one big way to keep from hurting others unnecessarily (James 3:2). If
you need to, confess your wrongs to God, He will forgive you (I John 1:3).
God has promised that He will not allow any
temptation that is more than you can handle (I Corinthians 10:13). The key to
that statement and verse is that when you are overwhelmed by the enticement;
give it to Jesus so that He can bare it for you.
If you are receiving correction from God, this
means you are His child and He loves you (Revelation 3:19). The Heavenly Father
can use your weakest flaw for His ultimate purpose (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Romans 8:28 (VOICE) says, “We
are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward
something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His
invitation to live according to His plan.”
It all boils
down to your daily life and who has the ultimate control of it. Can you give it
up to Someone that has more experience in decision-making than you? God knows
how it will all work out in the end.
Aren’t you just
completely exhausted with making the same mistakes over again? Do something
different, and allow a divine influence to make a positive difference.
