Cfmplatn'ö Corner continued... in Kalamazoo, Michigan, I used to have a puzzle that made a map of the world. And the puzzle fit within a cardboard holder with a circular place for the pieces to fit. When you completed it, you could flip it over and the pieces would still be together. But they would be blank. Now if you tried to put it together with all the blank pieces facing you, it would be very hard. If you put it together with the picture in front of you, it was much easier. When we look at Christ, He enables us to work through the problems of stress in our personal lives at home and at the workplace here at The Bethlen Home and Ligonier Gardens. And not only that, but in Jesus Christ, we can accept the promise of Romans. 8:28 that “We know that all things work together for them that love God, that are called according to His purpose...” Again I repeat my opening sentence. We all have made mistakes, and we sill continue to make mistakes. But still the glorious message of the gospel remains forever that God Almighty redeems us only by His grace. Our mistakes are why we need this wonderful grace. Don’t let the stress of failures get you down. You can never know what you might achieve until we try. Yes, persevere and keep trying. Satan’s great tool is to get us to give up. He is the discourager. If you make a mistake and fall short, just be thankful you were able to do as well as you did and keep trying. If you make a mistake, fall short, or even totally mess up, so what? Always keep in your mind, “Old failure can often pave the road to new beginnings”. Rev.
