I was anxious to get some house plants out onto my deck. It’s spring, right? Out they went. The wind caught my Elephant Ears plant and it was upended, twice. I took it back in and repotted it. Another obviously more delicate plant went from bright green leaves to limp beige ones. Not good!

It’s fairly evident that I moved too quickly. And that can happen in many of our decisions. Problems like what happened to my plants is minor but when our choices effect people, it is far more serious. People can be wounded, leaving scars and pain. What do you do then? The damage is done. You look up!

God is greater than any wrong we can pull off. And He is powerful enough to bring about healing when we sincerely call to Him for help. He is able to take the broken pieces, and make good come out of our failures. Ask and you will receive.
