I've been crocheting lately, and as I crochet I have made many, many mistakes. But anybody that crochets knows that a mistake can be pulled out, re-crocheted, and the mistake will never be noticed, because, by redoing there is no longer a mistake. Don't we wish that mistakes that we've made in life could be that easily taken care of. Don't we wish we could simply undo a mistake where it could never be seen, heard of or thought about ever again.
Even when sewing, mistakes can be undone, and re-sewed. But there will always be small signs that a mistake was made. Just as in life, mistakes we have tried to hide. But just as in sewing mistakes, there will always be signs of those mistakes in our lives.
I'm sure in your lives there are many things that you wish you could go back and undo. I know there are many things in my life that I wish I could. It's a good thing that God understands human nature well enough that He understands. And the most wonderful thing of all, He's merciful enough to forgive us when we fail.
I think that is why we read so many stories in the Bible, about mistakes that God's chosen people made. God wants us to realize that He knows we will not be perfect. Take Abraham and Sarah when they lost their faith that Sarah would be the one to have Abraham's son. So they took Sarah's maid Hagar to have Abraham's son. But as we all know that was not God's will nor intention. And what about David? He was beloved by God. And look at all the things that David did wrong. He was guilty of murder, he was guilty of taking another man's wife. And yet God forgave David when he repented. All you have to do is read the Bible to find out that mistakes are just human. Some mistakes are worse than others, but God doesn't see the size of the mistakes. God only sees our hearts when we repent, and ask forgiveness for our mistakes. When God forgives--- He really forgives! Your sin is washed away. kinda like undoing crochet. Never to be seen or heard of again. Yea, Jesus loves us that much! Until next time God bless and God save.
