I'm Tired of Being Wrong
I have had to quit watching television quiz shows. My mental health can
no longer stand always being wrong. It must be a sign of age and fatigue
because I used to be able to be corrected over and over and over and over.
But these days I find myself making more and more mistakes. It is most
likely a mistake to talk about my mistakes. But they are so overwhelming.
I am so thankful for spellcheckers. However sometimes I make the mistake
of forgetting to use it.
Have you ever had the feeling that you cannot do anything right? I was
going to use the word "can't" but realized that would be a mistake to use in
writing. It is only for speech. But then I wrote "can not" and the computer
immediately put a green line under it telling me I was wrong. "Can not" is
"cannot." I did remember to put the quotes outside the punctuation at the
close of the last sentence. But when I started the last sentence my fingers
got off the home keys and I had a line of mistakes.
Thank God for Jesus. He forgives our mistakes. Actually mistakes and sins
are two different things. I like to call my sins mistakes because then they
don't seem so bad. (Opps, I used the word "don't.) But whatever we want
to call them He blots them out. Isaiah tells us about that in 43:25, "I, even
I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers
your sins no more." I love that verse!
