Let's identify our faults so that we can rise

Hello everyone,
​
I hope you all are good and let’s remember that this is a new day with new beginnings and to me a new life. Each day is a new life because God has given us another chance to live.  We all are living different journeys with the same mission and God gives us choices to live the way we want to live it.  He teaches what’s good and not so good for us so that we can have joy even in the most difficult times of our lives.
 
We learn as we grow, and we learn as we encounter situations or go through the struggles of life. We all were raised different and it’s all about what we were taught, what we had to deal with in life, how we perceived things as adults and if we accepted God’s grace.  Sometimes situations are tough to deal with and it’s only by the grace of God that we can get through obstacles. None of us are perfect and we all mess up sometimes.  When we do wrong, people try to tell us do this and do that and most of the time, they are not doing things that are right themselves.  They try to tell us to change our lives or repent but to be honest, we all need to better our lives each and every day before we try and tell others how to live theirs. We also have to see or identify our own faults within before we can get better or help anyone else. We all have some repentance to work on but let’s fix our own mistakes first.
 
In Matthew 7:1-5 God said “Stop Judging, that you may not be judged.  For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.  Why do you noticed the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, let me remove that splinter from your eye while the wooden beam is in your eye?  You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you can see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.
 
All I’m saying is let’s love more and not judge, but take care of ourselves first then we can serve better and change the world.  Let’s work together to better the entire Body of Christ not just find faults in others when we should be working on the faults within. Again, we all need to repent in some area but let’s work towards doing it right so that we don’t find ourselves doing the same thing over and over again.
 
We all are on the same boat trying to be the best that we know how so let’s have patience with one another and help each other not tear each other down.  We all make mistakes, but the goal is to be a disciple to serve and the only way to do that is to work on ourselves first so that we can still rise when it’s all said and done. Life is not about mistakes that we’ve made but more about how we bounce back, ask for forgiveness (if the wrong doing is done to someone else) and get up with integrity after we’ve messed up.  Let’s make sure we refresh our relationship with God so that we always have the flavor to serve.  (See the word below that relates to this statement).
 
Please listen to the word of God below, as well as the poem about mistakes and the beautiful song at the end “Still I rise” on the link.  Thank you and Amen
 
Luke 14: 34-35
Salt is good, but if salt itself loses its taste, with what can its flavor be restored? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.  Whoever has ears to hear out to hear.
 
Mistakes
 
We all mess up in life from mistakes that we make
Let’s be real.  Let’s not be fake
 
Don’t think you have to be perfect for anyone
God made you for his purpose until it’s done
 
We were born sinners there are going to be mistakes
We just have to get to know Jesus before it’s too late
 
Some of us who know Jesus fall short as well
Because the devil is all around and I’m sure you can tell
 
You will find yourself making the same mistake over and over again
If you don’t get close to Jesus, you will never win
 
When you do wrong, don’t beat yourself up in anyway
Try again, stand up tall and say
 
“God please make me stronger the next time around”
He will give you the strength & a peaceful sound
 
He will tell you to grow & learn from your mistakes
Move on with life for your sake
 
He said I love you and it will be okay
I forgive in each and every way
 
Continue to live when you fall
Just let me guide you to seek your call.
 
 
Mistakes help us to grow.  Learn from your mistakes and move on in life.
 
HEBREWS 8:12
 
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.
