Subject: Thought for today

 

should i hope to change my past

 

many times in my life I have pondered, if only I could go back and right the
wrongs I have done. I would make a different decision. turn another way. it
can go on and on just like the "What ifs".  What is the purpose of looking
back when I can't change what has happened? What is the purpose?  Is there
something I can learn?  
if I changed a wrong would I only be delaying what was meant to be? Or did
it happen when it did to keep me from doing something even worse?  these are
puzzels I have no answers for. God knew the decisions I would make and he
brought me through them. as hard as the consecquences have been he has
always been there. In Psalm 23  it says, "Ye though i walk through the
valley of death", the valley of death.... whenever I chose to go my own way
each time I stepped into that valley of death because I chose to walk away
from god. To walk away from life. yet when I walked away god was still there
with me. waiting with open arms for my return. 

 

Now as I look back i can see how god brought me through and how those
experiences will help me. when I meet someone who is going through a
difficulty    like what god has brought me through I can share with them how
god brought me through. yes, the consequences can be painful. The pain is
somewhat less knowing that I am not going through it alone. there is nothing
so painful as feeling like you are all alone. Feeling like you are the only
one who is suffering. then God whispers, "I am here. You are not alone."

 

as I live each day I keep Psalm 16:8, "I know god is with me, I will not be
shaken because he goes before me.with this in mind even when i make bad
choices I know who to turn to. the one who was with me in the past. the one
who is with me in the moment and yes, the one who will be part of my future.
