A reminder
for today
Take
control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips. (Psalm 141:3)
When we have fallen, do we accept our mistakes or do we
go into blame mode? You see a lot of us fall by our own mistakes but we are too
proud to see our own faults and then we start to blame. We shift the blame out
of our own insecurities so that we can feel better about ourselves and maybe
even free from the reason for our fall. We become blinded by our own
inabilities as we seek to place the blame on other. We become cold and
irritated and we start to say things that we shouldn’t. Our words become our
weapon of destruction as we begin to hurt people for our own mistakes.
When we rise from the place where we have fallen we
should rise a better person with gained knowledge and a better foundation. When
we stand up we should stand on Jesus as the foundation from where we start. We should
not seek vengeance and destroy other for our own mistakes. When we allow Jesus
to become our starting block let us also ask Him to control what we say and
guard our lips.
Why do we need to break down when in Jesus we can
rebuild. It does not matter in the end who made the mistake and who made you
fall. It is how we stand up again and how we rebuild on the correct foundation.
We are more with Jesus and we are stronger by His forgiveness and the very
forgiveness we give and accept. We cannot carry on if we do not forgive
ourselves. You cannot keep on blaming yourself when Jesus has already taken you
burden for you. If you continue in that way you are a hypocrite and you go
against the very core of our religion. Jesus is all love and all forgiveness.
Live and rebuild by it.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
