I made a mistake at work today. I don’t want to write about the mistake, but I can say one thing. When I was doing the work, I thought I was doing my work correctly, but it wasn’t until I came across the error did I see that I had made an error.
I have these things happen and so do other people around me. My perception of the world around me seems to be one way and it isn’t until something helps my focus that I can see better and realize the mistake in my perception.
I don’t know why, but I think all of us don’t want to face the fact that our perception of the world around us is limited by the five senses and those senses aren’t perfect and can be tricked fairly easy. The only true thing that I have is my spirit and faith in God, everything else could be a dream, an illusion, or almost anything else.
I’ve come to accept that my perceptions can be manipulated by many factors. However, today when I had one of these incidents, especially because I made a mistake, it still really threw me. I got very upset and had a difficult time. I had to just trust that everything was going to be okay. Yet that’s faith. Even when I can’t trust my own senses, I can trust God. Even when it feels like everything is wrong, I can trust God and know that I’ll be okay.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all our hearts.
