For godly grief and
the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and
contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret;
but worldly grief is deadly. 2 Corinthians 7:10
Can you recall something hurtful that you have said to
someone else that you wish you could take back?
Sure, we all do, but some of us continue to let regret rob us of all of
our joy.
There are certainly some things I wish that I could have
said or done differently. But there is no sense in becoming burdened with
regret over something I have absolutely no power to change.
God will always warn us prior to making a mistake or saying
something hurtful so that we can change our mind before we actually make the
mistake. The enemy waits until after we
have already made the mistake, long after it's too late, to heap condemnation
and regret on us after there is nothing we can do about it any longer.
We must not let the enemy steal our joy any longer. We must ask God for forgiveness and then
leave our regrets in the past.
