Your Question:
Is it okay to not be okay?
Answer:
You know, I've been thinking about this a lot lately, especially in my role as a pastor. I think it's more than okay to not be okay. In fact, it's a sign of strength and honesty to acknowledge when we're struggling. The Bible says we're all imperfect and that we'll all make mistakes - it's how we respond to those mistakes that matters. I think what I've learned is that it's okay to say sorry, to admit when we're wrong. It's not about losing control or giving up something we want, it's about being humble and recognizing our limitations. When we can do that, we can grow and learn from our mistakes. My wife, Susan, always says that she'd rather be honest and say sorry than to pretend like everything is fine when it's not. I think she's right. As a pastor, I see people struggling with pride and self-righteousness all the time. They get caught up in thinking they're right and everyone else is wrong, and they can't admit when they're in the wrong. But the truth is, we're all in this together, and we all need to be willing to say sorry and work through our problems. It's not about being weak or vulnerable, it's about being strong and honest.
