The Pain of Falling

[pioneer]

Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. â€"1 Corinthians 10:12

There I was, sailing along on my rollerblades, my wife at my side. Suddenly, the wheels on my left boot began to wobble, and a second later I was face down on the asphalt. Just like that, I had a broken finger and some nasty cuts on my face.

This happened a couple of years ago, but the results of that fall are still fresh on my mind. The pain of falling is still with me, making me much more cautious on my rollerblades. Having fallen once, I take every precaution to avoid doing so again.

Falling isn’t good. But for anyone who has stumbled in life, something positive can resultâ€"if the fall leads to a more careful way of living.

Paul admonished, “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Cor. 10:12). Believers do fall. But when we do, our goal must be to learn from our error and to avoid a second spill.

If you have stumbled along the course of life’s journey, there’s hope. First, ask God for guidance, for He “upholds all who fall” (Ps. 145:14). Next, read the Word and begin to live carefully by its principlesâ€"“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2).

Have you fallen? Ask God to help you get up and keep from falling again. â€"Dave Branon

We’re thankful, Lord, that when we fall
We can begin anew
If humbly we confess our sin,
Then turn and follow You. â€"Sper

When we walk in the Light, we won’t stumble in the darkness.

this is really true., falling is a blessing in disguise.. it makes you more careful next time. its so sad lang na you can't forget about it so easily..

What is important when you fall is you learned how to stand and start a new life that is better than you have before

indeed! we must not dwell so much on the pain it brings, instead ,we must learn the lesson it offers. after all the pain, for sure the sun is shining for us.

yes its true,but sometimes its hard to forget the pain,specially when the wounds not yet healed.

in my painful experience, i cried out to God! i also sought help from elders and a nun. i remember, the nun told me to welcome the pain but not to entertain long. she added not to pretend that i wasnt hurt. my elders told me to keep busy. so i did! it helped!

Yes if you always dwell on it, it won't leave you. Lift it up to God, and once you lift it up then forget it. Kay sa gikaingon pa, ang imong mga kasakit ug problema nga imo nang gihatag sa Ginoo, dili nana nimo a sigehan ug handum pa kay dili naman na imo, kay imo na gud nang gisang-at didto kaniya. So have faith and believe  that God has already answered your prayers.

God Bless to all!
