“Don’t be so hard on yourself.

I can bring good even out of your mistakes.

Your finite mind tends to look backward,

longing to undo decisions you have come to regret.

This is a waste of time and energy,

leading only to frustration.

Instead of floundering in the past,

release your mistakes to Me.

My infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad

into a lovely design.

Because you are human,

you will continue to make mistakes.

Thinking that you should live an error-free life

is symptomatic of pride.

Failure highlights your dependence on Me.

I am able to bring beauty

out of the morass of your mistakes.”
