“Serving the Lord with humility.” (Acts. 20:19) Learning from our mistakes is part of the essence of humility. “When a mistake is made, people try to pretend that it did not happen. They try to cover it up, justify the wrong situation, which leads to additional mistakes.” There are some who gaslight in their relationships in an attempt to convince the other party that they are the problem. “Quite often, more damage is done to relationships, trust and integrity by the actions taken after the original mistake. Of course there is a choice when a mistake is made — admit it, learn from it, correct it and apologize to those that were adversely affected. Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” Charles Spurgeon wrote: “He that will not be humble shall be humbled. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God and he shall lift you up, lest he leave you because you hold your head so high.” If we are too tall we must stoop down to fit inside the doorway. Humility helps us to admit when we are wrong. GiGi ❤️
