A Daily Devotional About erasing mistakes and regret: Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (KJV) You can't erase mistakes and regret. Not on your own. You can run away. You can cover up. You can hide. You can try to forget, but what is done is done. However, every new minute is a new minute. Every new day is a new day. Every new minute and every new day represents new hope. Every new minute and every new day represents an opportunity for your new life full of hope and God's love for you. You cannot erase your mistakes and the consequent regret from your past. However, your pain from your mistakes CAN be erased. Your mistakes and your regret punish you. However, God, in His love for you, does not like it when you let your mistakes and your regret punish you. Your God of love wants you to turn away from your mistakes, to turn around and go in another direction from your mistakes, and to always face forward in your life. God wants you to be washed clean from your mistakes and He does not want you to make the mistakes again. God wants you to learn, grow, and achieve from your mistakes. He does not want your mistakes to eat at you like a cancer. God wants you to become and STAY a new person in Christ Jesus. God wants you to live a whole new life in spite of your mistakes. God wants you to remember what you did but He does not want you to sit in regret and feel the hurt from what you did..because God is not just about forgiveness, God IS forgiveness. |
