In a mission school one little boy daily caused a great deal of trouble.

He broke all the rules and no one could reason with him.

His language was foul. His attitude was one of no remorse for anything he said or did.

Finally, one day one of the staff called him into his office and said, “I’m not happy with how you’ve been acting.” And as he spoke he rolled up his sleeve, picked up a needle and said, “Because of the way you’ve been behaving I’m going to stick this needle in my arm.”

The little boy looked more frightened by the moment. Then he began to cry and said, ”Don’t do that. Please don’t do that. It will hurt you.”

“No more than how you have been behaving has hurt me,” came back the reply.

Then he thrust the needle deep. As the blood began to flow the little boy threw himself into the teacher’s arms, and weeping said, “I didn’t know how much you loved me. Please forgive me. Please forgive me.”

Over 2000 years ago, blood was shed upon a cross to show how much Jesus loved us. To wipe away the sins and Oopsisms of our lives.

Think about it. As little children we blamed rocks when we tripped over them and fell, and trees when we fell out of them.

But we are adults now, and it is time to put away such childish ways. Whether we blame impersonal objects or other people, it’s time to grow up. To be spiritually matured, seeking God and finding a Father.

Sometimes when we say Oops it’s nothing to get excited about. Maybe we only dropped a dish, or slammed a door. But other times it is something to get bothered about. Something to care about. Something that deserves more than an Oops. What it then deserves is the use of a good set of oars.

Yes, that’s what we need on the sea of life, otherwise we drift and drift and keep on drifting until one day we hear a mighty roar. And the noise is the roar of a destructive waterfall. We have drifted without decision or determination.

Now we have said Oops once too often.

“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;” Proverbs 3:13 (NIV)
