Remorse

Do you feel like a hamster on a wheel? Constantly doing the same thing and never getting anywhere? Unlike the caged pet, you can escape your box.

We make choices every day about our life—some are minor and some impact the course of our lives. We may never know how important they are to us. The call you chose to ignore; the extra time spent (maybe necessary, maybe not) at work instead of at your child’s game; the places you didn’t visit. You can explain away all of these with excellent reasons, but ultimately, will you have regrets for not following through on them? Will the others involved stop asking you to be a part of their lives? Will you mourn that loss? (Matthew 5:4)

Live now! Don’t regret not taking the time for family and friends, adventures, and opportunities. We only get this one amazing life.
