The Price of Being Human

Mistakes: nobody likes 'em but everybody makes 'em. Sometimes, even if you're a very good person, you're going to mess things up. and when you do, God is always ready to forgive you - He'll do His part, but you should be willing to do your part, too. Here's what you need to do:

1. If you've been engaging in behavior that is against the will of God, cease and desist (that means stop).

2. If you made a mistake, learn from it and don't repeat it (that's called getting smarter).

3. If you've hurt somebody, apologize and ask for forgiveness (that's called doing the right thing).

4. Ask for God's forgiveness, too (He'll give it whenever you ask, but you do need to ask!).

Have you made a mistake? If so, today is the perfect day to make things right with everybody (and the word "everybody" includes yourself, your family, your friends, and your God).

Mistakes are the price you pay for being human; repeated mistakes are the price you pay for being stubborn. So don't be hardheaded; learn from you experiences - the first time!
