I was created out of love by Love. I am meant to be a vessel and expression of love because that is how I was designed.  The same is true for you and everyone else on this planet.  How do I know this?  I know this because I have spent enough time connecting with the Divine Love and all of sacred scriptures from every tradition tell me this.  God does not make mistakes–I am here for a reason and so are you.  It is only when I experience mistakes and am faced with my humanity, that I have to turn yet again to my creator and ask who I am.  For many years I thought that if I made a mistake it meant I was a mistake.  I was mistaken in my understanding.  God does not make mistakes.  I make mistakes.  It is not my job to do things perfectly, it is my job to do things.  When I misjudge or make a mistake it does not change who I am.  Making mistakes brings me closer to understanding who I am because it requires me to humbly turn to my creator and say “I cannot do this alone, I need your help.  You know the way to approach this situation so that it will work towards the greater good of all–show me what to do, tell me what to say and use me as you will.”  I see my vulnerability when I make mistakes, it humbles me and allows me to connect with others because I am no longer greater than those around me.  Seeing my imperfections and make mistakes makes me one among many.  I used to think it made me less than, but that was giving myself a place separate from everyone else as well.  It was pride in reverse.  I am not saying that we should purposefully do wrong things or misjudge things, I am saying that we simply do even when we are attempting to do right.  It is part of the trials and tribulations of the human experience.  I am just grateful at the end of the day that I have a Creator who knows exactly who I am, who is always pleased with me and rejoices in the fact that I showed up and gave it a shot. I am beginning to see that life is about lessons and experiences–not the end product. (*Psst–life is about the journey, not the destination).  My prayer for you today is that you make a mistake and see what can be learned from it and not make it mean anything about who you are.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
