Everyone who has ever lived on this earth has made some kind of mistake in their life. The mistakes we make are not intentional, they just happen from time to time. We look at ourselves as failures when we fail at something, and we wallow in self-pity and mope around feeling sorry for ourselves thinking that all is lost, when all we have to do is get up and start over again. We become self-absorbed within ourselves and do not think about others who may be going through the same things as we are. We have to understand that we are not the only people in the world who goes through changes. We are not the only people in the world who suffer because of something we go through every once in a while. We are not the only people in the world who loses someone they love very much. We have to consider what others are going through as well.
Well, let me tell you this. There is someone who lives in the world who comes to kill, steal, and to destroy. They bring up our past faults, our past mistakes, our past failures, and places doubt in our minds so we will lose our faith in the One who lives inside of us. He does not want anyone to succeed in anything they try to do, He makes them feel like they cannot do anything, and that their life is meaningless. So many people in the world have taken their lives because of the things the enemy told them, and because of how He made them feel.
See, He brings up the past in our lives and the mistakes we have made and causes us to feel guilty. He makes us feel as we have not been forgiven for those things, but what we have to remember is that we are forgiven of those things. When God forgives us, we are forgiven and there’s nothing that can change it. We have to know that God does not want us to live in the past. He does not want us to dwell on things that will bring us down. He only wants us to think about those things that are good and praiseworthy. When we think about the good things in our life, and all of the accomplishments we have made, it makes life worth living. It makes us want to do more to feel better about ourselves. It makes our heart happy, and keeps us feeling young.
We have to learn how to resist the devil, which is the enemy so he will flee. We have to learn to draw near to God so He will draw near to us that He may give us the desires of our heart. There’s nothing good about the enemy, but there is everything good about God.
When we think about it, life is never going to perfect. We are always going to make mistakes, and have failures. The good thing about it is that we have the opportunity to move on from it, and we are not defined by the mistakes we make, and we are not our past, nor are we defined by it. We are who we are, and we will always be who we are flaws and all. So, therefore we must accept ourselves, and see ourselves as God see us. We cannot keep knocking on ourselves and putting ourselves down. We are all special and unique in our own way just the way God made us. Life is a gift, and we cannot let the enemy make us think otherwise. Well, I have enjoyed sharing this article with you all.
