About a quick fix…
Matthew 5:25 "Settle matters quickly
with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with
him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you
over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 I tell you the truth,
you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. (NIV)
We live in such a rapid age
we expect a quick fix for anything going wrong. However, there is an area of
your life where you truly need to implement a quick fix. The area of your life
where you need a quick fix is the area of mistakes. When you make a mistake, fix
it quick. The longer you go without attempting to fix a mistake, the longer the
mistake will take to fix. Tragically, when you put off fixing a mistake, you
begin to tell yourself the mistake does not need fixing. Then you can make the
mistake again and you tell yourself the mistake is no big deal, you are only
human, no one cares, or the mistake is not important. People are creatures of
habit. When you make a mistake two or three times, you are likely to keep making
the mistake again and again until the mistake is a part of your life. So, when
you make a mistake, fix it quick. If the mistake involves another person or
persons, apologize, seek their forgiveness as well as the Lord's forgiveness.
