The Heart Helps You Find Mistakes in Life
When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.
Matthew 27:3-4

2 - Reflect
I have often spoken of how difficult it is to walk the path of God, and this time I want to emphasize the importance of recognizing our mistakes. Often we are overcome by the belief that the sins we commit will not have divine forgiveness and, consequently, we choose the easy way out: to abandon God's path without taking into account the sacrifice of staying on it and all the benefits it has brought to our lives. It is important to remember that we have all failed at times.
We are not perfect, we make mistakes, but we have the virtue to make amends and come closer to the creation that God wants us to be. Therefore, in the face of such negative situations, let us remember that we can also be filled with hope, persevere in our faith and convince ourselves that in God's mercy we can be called again.
In the face of the next opportunity, we can promise ourselves that we will listen to God carefully to do what He calls us to do and put our greatest will to walk together with Him. It is our choice that will decide whether we will honor the second chance that the Lord gives us or whether we will distance ourselves from Him, moving away from the pattern that His word dictates to us.
