Regrets, I've had a few... Question of the week:

"Regret is a mistake that you didn't learn from"~ Annaleigh, ANTM's, top 3 contestant.

Silly show, profound words.

What regrets do you still carry in your life? Are there things in your past you would change if you could?

The bible says this about regret:

• 2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV

  Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

What situation from your past do you need to allow God to have access to? This verse tells us that if we have one of those situations, we need to allow God to bring us sorrow over it, because it will lead us to salvation, and ultimately, removing the regret from that situation. If we don't, it will lead to death!

Regret, or feeling sorry, is not something we "owe" as a penance after we have asked forgiveness. If we have truly allowed God into that situation and allowed his forgiveness, then regret is actually not an option.

Hmmmmm...

So, put away your rosary, and your whips, and your selfishness in the form of self-loathing.
Accept God's love. Leave regret behind. It is extra baggage you do not need to be carrying if you are to fly through life!
