God can redeem every situation

"We might not always get it right either. Even when we think we are following God’s plan—as the Jewish leaders no doubt thought—we make mistakes. But the good news is that whether we meant to turn away from God or not, he has a way of using even our mistakes and failings for good. So when we slip up, we shouldn’t think that all is lost. God can redeem every situation, as well as every person!

What a comforting thought to take with us when we get caught up worrying about past missteps! And let it be a reminder to help us look at everyone as God does: not perfect, but still a part of his plan, still having the potential to do great things for him. His mercy should be both an encouragement and an example for us!"
