It is far easier to blame others, institutions, or even God, while not taking responsibility for your own choices. How your choices brought you to where you are is so obvious that you may choose not to think about it. Trace your steps. Remember your decision. Accept it. Let it humble you. Learn from it. Move on. Taking responsibility is how you learn to be responsible. Invite the Holy Spirit’s involvement in the whole process. Accept the grace of forgiveness. He knows you. He also wants to bring you to what you need to be in Him.
Father, we think of our failures and are drawn to Your unfailing faithfulness. We think of our weaknesses and are drawn to Your strength. We think of our “undone-ness” and are drawn to the wholeness You give. Grant us Your unfailing grace. Amen!
