You're Mistaken, My Dear

You look at your mistakes as if they are the end of the world. As if life itself has come to a dead halt because of one accidental, or intentional misstep. As if they controlled every ounce of your future and as if they erase all the positive attributions you've made to the lives around you. You look at mistakes as if they are encompassed in the devil's wrath.. but what if they are really drenched in God's grace? Everything happens for a reason, and I promise you mistakes are included. They shape you into the person you are meant to be, and allow you to shed light on others through the testimony they lend you. Without mistakes, it would be impossible for you to relate to, or influence, or change the lives of the people around you. People thrive on mistakes, because they are the one thing every single human being on this earth has in common; We are irreparably broken. And I thank God for this. This brokenness is the driving force that brings so many people together on Sunday mornings, and so many people closer to enlightenment. They allow us to better ourselves, others, and the world around us. Mistakes are absolutely imperative to our human race, because they are the constant reminder to search, find, and indulge in God's grace.
