I know I've mentioned it before, but sometimes I can't help but look back and regret time wasted. I think of all the things I could've should've done, but somehow never actually did. I always had excuses. I thought they were perfectly good excuses...at the time. Now I just see them as excuses.
The lessons learned are...
#1 Don't live in the past. Stop thinking about all the things that you can't change. Look ahead at the things you can change.
#2 Now this is the good part..."I am certain that God, who began the good work within you will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." (Phil. 1:6 NLT)
God has a plan. Everything up until now has been orchestrated by Him for a purpose. He is doing a work in and through you. And no matter how far you fall or how many opportunities you miss out on, He isn't giving up until Christ returns. Can I get an amen?
So I look forward, knowing He is still working on me. I'm still usable. And what an awesome thought is that?! No more time wasted. Make every minute count.
