Your Question:
Is my life going to be defined by this one mistake?
Answer:
As I reflect on my life, I'm reminded of the importance of living according to a higher standard. The passage from Isaiah 6:1 speaks to me about the need to focus on knowing God Himself, not just the blessings or peace that come from Him. My own Rule of Life, as Francis Spufford would call it, has been shaped by my Christian faith. I've tried to live a life that honors God, but I've also had to confront the fact that my choices haven't always delivered the life I want. I've come to realize that my life is a reflection of my priorities, and if I'm not careful, I can get caught up in measuring my success by worldly standards rather than God's. The idea that "how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives" (Annie Dillard) is a powerful reminder to examine my daily habits and choices. As a pastor, I've seen how people's lives can be transformed when they focus on Jesus Christ, rather than just their own desires or goals. For me, the key is to stay focused on my relationship with God and to seek His purpose for my life. I'm not defined by one mistake or failure, but by my commitment to following Christ. As I seek to live out my faith, I'm reminded that God has a plan for me, and that He can change my life in ways that I never thought possible. By keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus, I'm able to find peace and fulfillment, even in the midst of challenges and uncertainties.
