LEARNED FROM YOUR MISTAKES

For many Asian’s it’s not easy to not be so hard on our-selves. We grow up in a culture where many of our parents, relatives, peers and society judge us and criticize us for our mistakes. We are told from a young age when we fail, “You are good for nothing! Why didn’t you do better? What’s wrong with you? You’re a failure! Etc.” It’s not easy being Chinese, or just Asian in general. There is so much pressure to be perfect.

I simply needed to be myself and thank God that He loved me still even when I made a mistake. That’s why Jesus died on the cross. He died so that our sins could be forgiven because He knew we would never be perfect, but His love for us is. He loves us as we are and we must accept ourselves just as we are. We still do our best in doing what is right, but if we make a mistake learn to forgive yourself and one day you will get to where you need to be.

How do we learn from our mistakes?

1. Don’t see your mistake as a failure, but see it as a lesson to be learned ~ a baby doesn’t fall down when trying to walk and stay down. It gets back up and tries to walk again. We must recognize that we will stumble and fall in this life, but we have to get back up, learn from what we did wrong and keep walking.
2.Don’t be so hard on yourself when you fail, because you are only human ~ Failure is an event it is not a person. Remember, that we can always learn from our failures by understanding what we did wrong and by next time choosing to do better. Don’t think it’s the end of your world because you made one mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s what makes us human. Always remind yourself that your worth is not what you do right or wrong, but your worth is defined by God’s unconditional love for you. You are not a failure you are a precious child of God.
3.Admit to your mistake and keep a teachable spirit ~ a failure is only failure if we fail to admit that we failed. To deny our mistake is ignorance and pride. But when we admit to what we did wrong, own up to it and take responsibility to not do it again we can learn to be better people. Failures humble us and humility is what makes us appreciate God, others and the life we live. Always keep a teachable spirit and you will only grow wiser from every mistake you make.
4.Don’t be afraid to fail, because our failures lead us to our true successes in life ~ Thomas Edison (famous scientist) failed with over 1,000 invention before he invented the light bulb.If Thomas Edison simply said after his third failed invention, “I’m nothing but a failure and I quit inventing because I have no hope” then we would maybe never have electricity and light. Thomas once said,

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” - Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)

Don’t be afraid to make a mistake, learn from them and you will become a better person. Everyone who has ever done anything great in this life has had failures. It’s part of life. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Stay humble and never stop learning.

God Bless

FORGIVENESS

For many people who have been hurt by another, forgiveness is next to impossible. It is impossible to live this life on earth without getting hurt, mistreated, misunderstood, wronged, rejected, lied to or offended. Many of us don’t know how to forgive, because we don’t know what forgiveness really is. Let me explain what forgiveness is not, before I explain what forgiveness is.


Forgiveness is not…

• Forgiveness is not forgetting: We can’t pretend it didn’t happen. It did happen, and we need to retain the lesson learned without holding onto the pain. The word “forget” does not mean to “put out of one’s mind in the Bible, it means to “let go.” It means that we are not going to allow the experiences of the past to dominate our future and to prevent us from becoming all that God has planned we should become.
• Forgiveness is not avoidance: Forgiveness is not making light of something we find hurtful. It is not saying, “it doesn’t matter” by not acknowledging the wrong that was done. That is being dishonest. We must recognize the wrong done & choose to forgive.
• Forgiveness is not excusing: Forgiveness is not denying that the one who has caused the hurt is responsible for their actions. We excuse a person who is not to blame. We forgive because a wrong was committed.
• Forgiveness is not giving permission to continue in sin: Forgiveness is not giving permission to continue hurtful behaviors; nor is it condoning the behavior in the past or in the future.
• Forgiveness is not reconciliation: Forgiveness may lead to reconciliation or it may not, but they are not the same. We have to make a separate decision about whether to reconcile with the person we are forgiving or whether to maintain our distance, while choosing to still release to them forgiveness.

What is forgiveness then? In the New Testament “to forgive” literally means to “let go” or “cancel a debt.” It is to let go of the person who has offended you and to cancel all wrongs done against you by choosing to not recall a person’s sins to mind against them. Forgiveness is letting go of the need for revenge and releasing negative thoughts of bitterness and resentment. Genuine forgiveness–pardoning an inexcusable, devastating injury–is a miracle. Forgiveness is the miracle of a new beginning. It may not take away the hurt. It does not deny the past injury. It does not ignore the possibility and need for repentance and a change in the relationship. Forgiveness is a choice–a faith decision–not to hold a sin against a person any longer. How do we do this?

• Forgive others because you have been forgiven: No one is perfect. Jesus said, “Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.” He said this when a woman was caught in adultery and others wanted to punish her sinful act. God has forgiven us, therefore we must not judge others, but forgive others.
• Forgive others by faith not feeling: Forgiveness is an act of faith. It is a choice of our will, not our emotions. By faith we forgive by trusting God to give us the strength to do what He commands us to do.
• Forgive others because un-forgiveness only hurts yourself and others: When we choose to forgive, we are releasing ourselves from the negative feelings of bitterness, hatred, resentment and anger that hurt us mentally, physically and emotionally. Also, when we choose to forgive the one who hurt us, it releases them to find repentance and healing from their sins.
• Forgive others by speaking it out loud: Forgive the offender by saying “I release you. I let you go. I let go of this offence. I cancel your debt. You owe me nothing now. I renounce my desire to get even with you. God has forgiven me, so I now forgive you.” Amen.

It has been said that forgiveness is the only way in which the power of sin in the world can be absorbed, neutralized and brought to nothing. As Christ has forgiven us may we extend forgiveness to others who have caused us pain; forgiveness is giving up the right to hurt you, for hurting me. Let’s choose to forgive today it will make Hong Kong and the world a better place. Forgiveness is love, and love is freedom.
