"Men will always be making mistakes as long as they are striving after something." -Goethe
Well that's a refreshing thought. Encouraging too. Knowing that if I'm not making any mistakes it's not because I know or do everything perfectly, it's because I'm not pushing myself. To be better, to do better, to move forward in life or my goals. If I'm stumbling, then it shows that I'm at least walking, right?
It goes for humanity too, on a larger scale with bigger consequences. We may have polluted the air with our progress and technology, but we were striving to make life easier and possible a better place to live. And now that we know about the mistakes we made, we're slowly trying to correct it and turn around our habits we've acquired. I've made mistakes trying to be better, and with Christ I'm struggling to turn around. I may never make it, but it won't keep me from trying, so that i can prove to myself I'm committed to the Cause of Christ. Which, oddly, in return, gives me the strength and confidence to keep going and keep asking God in my life to help.
