THE GRACE TO LEARN AND MOVE ON

Philippians 3:12 says, “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.”

The Lord has given us the ability to learn from our mistakes and errors. There are errors you committed in the past that would have led to your death; many others did the same but are not alive today. This proves that we are able to learn from mistakes and move on. As far as there is flesh, as far as you are not yet perfected, mistakes will come, but you should learn from them and move on. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, never promised to keep us away from mistakes; however, He has given us the grace to learn lessons and move on. He never promised to keep you away from all these challenges, but He promised to see you through them. If gold must be gold, it must pass through the furnace. If you must be a Christian, there is a process. What it takes for gold to be gold is what it takes for you to be a Christian. Your character must be tested in real situations. Each challenge moves you either forward or backward. To make a change, you must take a stand on God’s Word, accepting that the assurance of His salvation will help you to maintain that change.

Prayer: O Holy Spirit, take more of me and give me more of You! Give me more of Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control, in Jesus Christ’s name! Amen!
