Your Question:
is it okay to not be okay?
Answer:
You know, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. As a pastor, I've seen a lot of people struggle with the idea of admitting they're wrong. It's like they're afraid to say sorry, to admit that they messed up. And I think that's rooted in pride - pride of self-righteousness. They think they're always right, and that's just not how it works. I remember having a conversation with my wife Susan about this once. She was going through a tough time, and I didn't handle it as well as I should have. I was afraid to admit that I was wrong, that I didn't know how to help her. But ultimately, it was only when I said sorry and admitted my mistakes that we were able to move forward. It's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to pretend like everything is fine when it's not. As a parent, I've also seen my kids struggle with this. My son Joshua, he's 17 now, and he's going through a phase where he thinks he knows it all. But when he makes a mistake, I remind him that it's okay to say sorry, to admit that he was wrong. It's a hard lesson to learn, but it's an important one. And I think that's what the Bible is all about - learning to admit our mistakes, to say sorry, and to move forward.
