Encouraging Words from Barbara Francis
Wisdom is the acquired ability to live life well. It’s living life against the grindstone and coming away polished instead of being chewed up. It is when our mistakes and failures become our teachers.
– David Swartz
I have been a follower of Christ for over 35 years. I have walked well with God and have grown immeasurably. BUT my track record is far from stellar. Unbelief, pride, and rebellion have tripped me up more often than I care to admit publicly. Frankly, I just didn’t think it would take this long. I underestimated how lengthy the job would be to sanctify my soul, that is, to have it fully set apart for him. But I can say that even my worst mistakes, once confessed and turned from, have been my best teachers. Would you agree?
