Recently I have been thinking about grace, especially in the work place. In so many instances one mistake results in complete distrust. As an intern you are already running an up hill battle. You are worthless until proven worth it. You are an amateur until someone deems you as legitimate.
Basically, I believe everything in this world is about perception.
But what happens when you mess-up and your perception is tainted?
What happens when you do something really stupid, that you cant explain away. You can't save face. All you can do is shrug and say... 'I have no idea what went wrong.'
To the rest of the world that is unacceptable. A boss will start checking your work and pretty soon you are back to being an intern. A professor will ride you off as hopeless. A friend may not want to associate with you.
Why is that? We all mess up. But when someone else screws up, it is fatal. You think to yourself , 'at least its not me'
But God.... God forgets about it and when you repent he elevates you higher in his family.
I am sick of this world and how we treat each other. If God can move on, then so can we.
