Look out

We all make mistakes.

Every one of us.

The enemy loves when we do.  It is not just because he likes to laugh when we are down.  Many times, when we are down, he will kick us.  He has a very effective way of keeping us down.

Usually, once the mistake has been made, guilt creeps in.  Making a foolish mistake as a Christian is common.  Guilt is what truly makes us ineffective so many times.  The enemy will whisper in your ear how unworthy you are.  "See? You call yourself a disciple?  You can't even hope to live up to that.  You might as well just lay down and forget about it.  Let other, more spiritual people serve him.  Not you though.  You are just not good enough."

Look out.

Repent for your mistakes.  Seek forgiveness from God and whoever else you need to seek it from.  Then move on.  Get up and start again.  Make whatever repairs you have to then keep moving.  Do not let the guilt of a foolish moment keep you from pushing forward.
