Why is it that the truest, purest wisdom comes only from making mistakes? No matter how hard someone may try to impart wisdom on us, it is only head knowledge to us until we experience for ourselves a situation where we fall short. And then that wisdom is ours. We possess it. That incident where we goofed up reveals the very depth of understanding that our souls desire.
Often, when we look back on our lives, we think we would change certain blunders we made. But the reality is that those errors and mistakes imparted real wisdom that we could not have attained any other way.
So in our present circumstances, we ought not to live in constant fear of messing up to the point that we don’t take risks. Let’s live a little. Step out of your comfort zone. Know that your Creator, your Redeemer will never disown you. Friends and families may be disappointed in us. And no doubt they will articulate their disappointment. But life goes on. And the wisdom procured from this experience will shape us and mold us and make us more genuine people.
Maybe I’m wrong about all this. But I hope to learn from my wrongness.
Shalom, dear one.
I think you are right on brother! I always say that I would never change my past - because it has made me who I am today! Praise God that I am HIS and HE is mine….
Amen!
