The Sunday Sermonette – Falling? Get Back Up.

Greetings!

Oft times, we allow past experiences to determine our future actions.

If we had one bad experience at a local restaurant, we vow never to return. If we go out socially or to church and no one speaks to us, we tend to think all social events and churches are like this. It is then that bitterness and unhappiness creep into our lives.

Ever watched a child learning to ride a bicycle? Does the child fall? Do knees get skint? Do tears flow? Yes! However, if the child wants to master the technique of riding a bike, he gets back on it over and over, until he masters the bike, not the bike mastering him. He does not allow a negative past experience to determine his future success.

As you go through life, learn from your past experiences and then map a brighter future.

Ponder this and go forth.
