Learning to live with our past mistakes is

Learning to live with our past mistakes is hard.

April 8, 2024

Learning to live with our past mistakes is hard. We all have things we wish we could change in our life—situations or circumstances, words spoken. In fact, if we could, we would do anything to change that moment in time. But if we did change that moment in time, we would not be the person we are today. And don’t you like the person you have become? Romans 8:28 reads, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Everything comes together according to God’s purpose. It is something to think about. It is something to remember. The key to life is learning to forgive yourself the way God has. And embracing who you are, because the past has made you who you are today. God Bless. Amen.
