Embracing Growth Through Humility (06/10/'24) -Message

Subject: Embracing Growth Through Humility Dear Friends, I wanted to share some thoughts that have been on my heart, centered around the profound lessons we can learn from our mistakes. In our mistakes, there lie deep and significant teachings, often found in the worst times. From these errors, we garner true wisdom. It's crucial to remember the lessons and let the mistakes fade from view. As we journey through life, humble hearts admit, correct, and grow, letting past missteps go. In humility, we glean wisdom and find strength, never to repeat our mistakes. The scriptures remind us that “All of us make many mistakes” (James 3:2). This truth is real and resonates deeply. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). This assurance of purification and forgiveness underscores His enduring love. Furthermore, Jesus tells us, “In the world, you’ll have tribulation. But cheer up! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). In His victory, we find courage, casting away our fears. Let us embrace our mistakes as guiding lessons. With humility and grace, let His truth lead our stride. In each stumble and fall, we will find His love. For in His word and promise, our hearts are refined. May we all find strength in humility and be refined by His grace. Blessings, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 10, 2024)
