So great to have you with us today. And as we enter into this spring season, just let it be a time of new beginnings,

letting go of the old, getting ready for the new things God's going to do, and just really believe you're going to come into a blooming and a blossoming season in Jesus' name.

But God bless you and enjoy the podcast. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your

homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I'll

promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I like to start with something funny. And I heard

about this elderly couple that had been married for over 60 years, never had an

argument, never had a crossword. They weren't a church function. Someone asked them the secret of

their success. The man told how he always treated his wife with respect and how he took her on trips

around the world. He said, in fact, for our 25th wedding anniversary, I took

her to Beijing, China. Everyone politely applauded. Someone said, what'd you do for your 50th

wedding anniversary? He said, I went back and picked her up. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am. I have what it says I am I have what it says I have

I can do what it says I can do today I will be taught the word of God I boldly confess my mind is

alert my heart is receptive I will never be the same in Jesus Jesus' name. God bless you. I want to talk to you

today about don't be defined by your mistakes. We can all look back and see times where we gave

into temptation. We let our guard down and compromised. We were sloppy and didn't handle a situation the way we should.

It's easy to be defined by one moment in life.

By divorce, by business that didn't make it, by how we raised our children.

The enemy is called the accuser.

He would love to convince you to let that one mistake,

that one season to cause you to live down on yourself, not be passionate about your dreams.

But that mistake didn't stop God's plan. You may have failed, but you are not a failure.
