mistakes along the way...

I know we all make them. But do ya ever think of the baby Christians or NON believers around you AFTER you've made them? How do you re-do that? I battle with the evil one daily, as he reminds me of all of my mistakes along the way. I curse him, and tell him there's no room for him in my life, but the flashbacks of my mistakes still haunt me.

I'm thankful that most of the mistakes have been changed or those that I made the mistakes with have come back around. I am not perfect. I am forgiven. I get stressed out just like the next person. The difference is, my heavenly Father sets me straight when I'm done having my little fit!! And I strive to do better the next day.

As a Christian, I struggle with staying "unstained by the world". I try to shine the light of Jesus. I try to be His hands and feet, then when trying to do this with an unbeliever, they can't see past a mistake I made awhile back. This makes me so sad. I see other people that are being hurt by these baby Christians and unbelievers and I get saddened all over again. So, I go to my closet and pray.

Why can't we all get along and learn from one another? I really really REALLY want to know this!! Without Christ, we are "mud pies baking in the elements of PREFERENCE and prejudice"! (Beth Moore~James~Mercy Triumphs) I emphasize preference because this is what I am fighting and a friend is fighting right now. Preference of others above us. I say it's ok...I know I've wronged these people over the years...but in these "mistakes", their best interest was always in mind.

So now I study today on Favortism. Oh brother! I'm going to get smacked around a bit again ~ I can feel it. But from these mistakes, I've grown. Don't mind me, I say...God isn't finished with me yet!!
