Break Free From Regrets
“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 WEB)
To whoever is battling with regrets about the past, I want to encourage you with this message.
Someone once asked me seriously if he could go back to the past to change a mistake that he made. The mistake is currently causing some bad consequences in his life.
The truth is, there is no such thing as returning to the past. There are no parallel universes either—if not, will all versions of people stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment at the end of time?
The only reality is here and now. You are the only version of you—uniquely made by God. Yes, God sees the past, present, and future, but every person can only really be in one place at one time.
No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, press on and forget the things which are behind.
Treat it like today is day one of your new life. Every day is a fresh beginning to walk with the Lord.
God is so good that He can restore you with much more/better than what you lost in the past.
The first step to healing from a trauma suffered in the past is to decide to press on and look forward from now on.
“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 WEB)
Cast your burden of regret into the Lord Jesus’ hands—He cares for you. Turn away from the hurt and look into Jesus’ smiling face.
You cannot run freely when there is a heavy boulder strapped to your ankle. Let that regret go and experience the peace, lightness, and freedom.
“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18 WEB)
There is a race, we run by grace, and there are prizes to be won. God placed a high calling in you. The future is bright and glorious so keep looking forward from now on. Things will get better!
