Ever wish you could start over?
Probably all of us have longed for another chance in some area of our lives.
We would necessarily have done things differently, just more or perhaps less . . . The truth is we cannot go back, only forward into uncharted territory.
To set in our sorrow would lead to misery.
Although regret that leads to change is a dear friend, regret that leads to shame is a treacherous enemy.
So how do we live without allowing regret to rob us of our joy?
How about this insight to prompt us on: " AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING " {Pr 3:5} . . . That is no guarantee that if we had done a part of our lives differently things would end up different.
We have to trust the god of the universe who directs the outcome of all things that he will do that which ultimately needs to be done { IN SPITE OF US, IF NECESSARY }.
