Mistakes

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they can be as white as snow. Though your sins are deep red, they can be white like wool." Isaiah 1:18

Sometimes we try to deal with a mistake by covering it up with more mistakes, or by repressing it, nor by justifying it. That's like walking around with a pebble in our shoe - it causes us so much frustration that our whole body compensates for its presence, when all we have to do is take it out and toss it away.
