       I believe for some things the only way we can learn is through making a mistake. It’s like a little child learning to walk. At the time a child is learning to walk, he has to make mistakes which result in him falling down in order for him to learn how to walk. It’s part of the process. And it’s no different in life with us. Let me tell you a secret. Are you ready? When it comes to ourselves, we can either look at our own performance to measure how good we are in life or we can depend on God’s performance, namely what Jesus has accomplished for us. What I mean is that if you’re a person who values how good you are by your performance, then you are a person who doesn’t take well to mistakes. And this is another reason why I think God permits us to make mistakes. He doesn’t want us to be depending on our seemingly good behavior, what we think is our good performance, he doesn’t want us depending on that for our own personal righteousness.
