Lessons Learned the Hard Way

"I learned my lesson” a phrase most of the earth’s population has had a few chances to say, but do they really mean it?

Everyone has made some sort of mistake that they would never want to repeat.
An example; quite a few people have cheated on some kind of test, a crucial thing most cheaters never want to happen is get caught.

When most cheaters get caught they often say, “I learned my lesson, I promise I will never do it again.” But do they really mean it, most of the time what they r thinking after they get caught is, “I’m sorry I got caught.”

It can be hard learning your lesson the hard way, but the reason why we must is so we can carry this lesson with us at all times. It is to prevent us from ever doing it again, or to help someone from making the same mistakes as you.

One thing you should know is God doesn’t make bad things happen to us to learn a lesson, we simply bring it upon ourselves and God moves out of the way so we can learn our lessons.

When you really learn your lesson then you will never make the same mistakes, but if you shrug it off and forget the lesson you learned then you never really learned your lesson.

I am sure most of you have noticed the name of my blog is Lessons learned the hard way, well the reason why it is, because the best lessons I ever learned were learned the hard way.

Revelation 3:3 So remember what you received and heard. Obey, and change the way you think and act. If you're not alert, I'll come like a thief. You don't know when I will come.

Isaiah 42:23 Which of you will listen to this, or pay close attention in time to come?

Don’t keep yourself from learning your lessons just because you don’t like them, because in the end they will make you a better person.
