Your Question:
Can I still be a good person even when I've made mistakes?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of guilt and shame after making mistakes. But the truth is, we all make mistakes. It's how we respond to those mistakes that matters. We can let them define us, or we can use them as opportunities to learn and grow. In my own life, I've made my share of mistakes, but I've learned to approach them as chances to become stronger and wiser. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I've made mistakes that have had significant consequences. But I've also learned from those mistakes and grown as a person. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've had our share of disagreements and mistakes. But we've always tried to work through them together, and we've come out stronger on the other side. I think that's what it means to be a good person - not to be perfect, but to be willing to learn and grow from our mistakes. Ultimately, being a good person is not about being perfect, but about being honest and willing to learn from our mistakes. As Jesus said, "No one is good except God alone." But that doesn't mean we can't strive to be good, to be like God. It means we recognize our own limitations and weaknesses, and we ask for God's help to overcome them. I believe that's what it means to be a good person - to be humble, to be honest, and to be willing to learn and grow from our mistakes.
