Regrets

Most of us have done something in the heat of the moment that we have later regretted. Some decision we made that did not turn out like we hoped has caused us to grieve our losses. Our lives have forever been changed negatively because of our choice. It is a common human habit to live under a shadow of regret.

But Jesus said whoever believes in him will not come into judgment but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24). Whatever our poor choice, whatever our unwise decision, whatever our sin was it is now under the blood of Jesus. If we have come to God in humble contrition, that thing will never be held against us.

Our lives are new. That which once brought us death will be changed into life in God’s timing.
