Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of My brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to My holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with Me. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. You know that you will reach your home in My perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late.” “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.” — Hebrews 6:19

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.” But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.Micah 7:7
