Excuses
People who fail in life are people who find lots of excuses. (Ben Carson, neurosurgeon)
“The dog ate my homework” was the childhood excuse. Today it might be, “The computer ate my spreadsheet” or something similar. It is often difficult to admit our mistakes. And there are some who just can’t “get over themselves.” Carson’s advice: “It’s never too late for a person to recognize that he is God’s chosen and have potential in themselves.” No excuses. Just be you.
You are a chosen people. (1 Peter 2:9)
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. (Romans 8:33)
