Unless you've invented a time machine

Unless you've invented a time machine what is past is past. Every decision, right or wrong, cannot not be redone. You may wish so, you may even pray so, but once it is made you have to learn to live with the consequences. Sometimes either way can be a good thing, but most of the time it causes regret and disappointment.

We've all been there when the horizon looked bright and that decision was going to make our lives brighter and better, but when we got there the sun was setting and never seemed to rise again. Then we begin to beat ourselves up wondering why we made such a stupid choice. That's when reality hits the road and we realize that unless we make something good out of it, that decision will haunt us the rest of our lives.

We start with the what if's:

-What if I had said, "Not interested."

-What if I had said, "NO!"

-What if I had listened to my heart instead of my head?

-What if I knew it was too good to be true?

Let me say this about the what if's. They will haunt you until the day you die. Because there are only two choices you can make and sometimes we make the wrong choice. But dear friend, it's not the end of the world. It may knock you off your feet for awhile and it may even cause you pain, but eventually you'll work through it and realize that even in making the wrong decision God was still with you. He never left you or forsook you, but was there as a constant friend waiting for your cry.

Remember:

-God can take what's wrong and make it right.

-As long as God's in control the sun is still going to rise.

-Tomorrow is in God's hand and He can change what's wrong today and make it right.

I know this sounds simplistic, but it's the truth. The wise man said in Ecc. 3:15, "That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past." So unless you can go back and change time yesterday is gone and you don't get a do over. However, because of grace you can get a makeover and change the wrong decisions into
something good. Thank God for His time machine called forgiveness and grace. Use it!
