There are numerous regrets that I have. My issue is I must remember to embrace God's forgiveness, learn lessons and move on in growth and maturity. Phil. 3:13 "forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.
When I live focused ahead, I do a better job of living above regrets.
Keep looking forward!
God bless you!

This one hits me right at home. I really struggle with regrets about my bad decisions and rebelliousness in the past. The devo talks about forgiving myself and feeling that I don't deserve to be forgiven. Personally, it has taken professional counseling to help me get past this problem, and I have found that daily devotions, reading the Word, spending time in communication with God, has helped me understand his forgiveness. If God can forgive the people in the Bible he has given us as examples, then I know He wants to and will forgive me. I have to make a mental choice to believe. I have to forgive myself and others and leave the past in God's hands. The scripture says, He will redeem the past if I put it in His care. What a great God we serve. Thank you Jesus.
