Mistakes are Mistakes because they Hurt us or Someone else. LEARN FROM IT. [10-15]

Quote (Oct. 15, 2020): "If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything." (Marva Collins)
"Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God." (3 John 1:11)
Deliberately doing a mistake (evil) over again, he has NOT even seen God. Mistakes that are unintentional in life are inevitable. But when we have the knowledge and ability to change, we will, we will unless we have not truly found nor seen God. God's perfect love makes this change so worth it. Submission to him is ultimate fulfillment and satisfaction.
