Mistakes...

In this life that we live, we are bound to make mistakes and sometimes some mistakes are bigger to us than others. However, to God, sin is sin and there is no level of ranking (Romans 3:21-26). The one thing to remember is that you can always go back to God...the biggest mistake you can make is becoming subject to the mistake you made. Allowing yourself to become a victim to guilt is the worst thing because God is there with open arms waiting for you to just get back up, learn from it and keep it moving. Donnie McClurkin’s song, ‘We Fall Down’ comprises this saying that ‘a saint is just a sinner who fell down but got up’. Whatever you have done does not make you less of a Christian; neither does it put you below the rest, it simply means that you fell and you need to get up with a repenting heart. Nothing more, nothing less. Satan wants you to believe that the world must stop and you have no place, neither any right to even call on the name of Jesus BUT in Proverbs 24:16 it says ‘for a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again’. Isaiah 44:22 clearly states ‘I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you’. Even Jesus specifically says in Matthew 12:31 ‘every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven’, so who, based on the Scriptures, can ever tell you that you cannot come back to God? Answer, no one. Numbers 23:19 says that ‘God is not a man, the He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent. Has he said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?’ and Isaiah 55:11 says ‘So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing that I have sent it’. This basically showing us that God is not a liar and when He says something, so shall it be. So when you make a mistake just remember that God IS waiting there for you to redeem you and put you back in line with Him as long as you repent. Never, ever, let ANYBODY neither yourself tell you otherwise...
