Apparently this was the boss' way of reminding this guy not to forget his hat again tomorrow. His method was to slap what amounted to a neon sign on this guy's head that said, "I failed today."

You can relate. I can, too.

There are days when it feels like you're wearing a billboard that says, "I'm a screw-up. I'm a loser. I'm a failure."

And, truth be told, we are all of those things.

The Bible says, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

That little word "all" has big implications. Everyone, without exception, has screwed up. Missed the mark. Fallen short. Sinned.

But instead of handing us a sign to indicate that we are total losers, God forgives and forgets our sin (Hebrews 8:12).

God slaps on a hat that says, "I forgot your sin today."
