In my life, I make mistakes. Small and big and often it leads to consequence where I need to make a decision. Hopefully I will make the right decision, but I may make yet another mistake. And sometimes, it can be an even bigger mistake.

Recovering from the initial mistake becomes harder due to the follow up mistake.

In games, we may be able to reset and start over. Real life is not so simple.

“Life is like a game of chess. There are many moves possible, but each move determines your next move. Where you wind up is the sum of all your past moves. But first you have to make some kind of move!” (Mort Walker)

Not making a choice is not an option either. Life does not stop for me.

But Jesus deals with our mistakes differently from the world. He resets everything each time we confess our mistakes to him. And he does not hold any grudges whatsoever. None.

"But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness."

(1 John 1.9 NLT)

Although the world does not give us a reset button, let us never forget that we can always use our spiritual reset button.
