Have you ever made a mistake before? Earlier today, I was making cookies and mixed up the sugar and the salt, which made for a very undelightful taste in my mouth when I took what was supposed to be the “perfect” bite. Just like I made a mistake while cooking, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. 

The good news is that because of Jesus, we can make wrong things right, creating something good from mistakes and difficult situations. Paul says in Galatians that if we don’t give up or quit, the good we do can harvest or produce something great. Don’t get tired of doing good or following Jesus because you can trust that God works through you to make the world better.

For the rest of this week, look for ways to do good to others around you. Maybe this means complimenting someone at school, telling your teachers how much you appreciate them for all they do or doing your part to help in a group project. If you slip up once or a few times, it’s okay; ask Jesus to help get you back on the right track. With Jesus on your side, you can do this!
