Living Life with no Regrets.

Living Life with no Regrets.

Not everybody does it but that doesn't mean that it can't be done. I believe you have to start at a young age and I believe this attitude has to go with you throughout your life. Making mistakes can produce a sense of regret in your life, but like all fears we have to face them and forgive them. Sometimes forgiving ourselves helps us gain the necessary perspective on why we felt hurt by others. Sometimes understanding our pain, can give us validation as we accept the limitations and faults of others. No one can go through life not feeling hurt, but it is our choice with what we do with the hurt.

Pain is real and it stings sometimes, and it is a grace of God not to carry our burdens with us as we get older. Sometimes we just need to feel that we belong. Being mindful is a great way to start living with no regrets. The more conscious we are to our feelings the better it is to let go. Blame sets us back, and is the cause for fear and anger. Yes taking full responsibility for our choices can set us free, only if we understand why we do the things we do. Anyone who helps you to see that you are not alone is a good friend. Part of the fear of being unforgiven is feeling that no one will understand your pain. When you, or someone can break through the confusion that sets in after we have been hurt, and brings awareness, the quicker you will see why that thing or person caused you so much pain.

Awareness is just the start of healing. I believe the next step is having a healthy relationship with yourself, then transitioning that love to other people. We have to continue to learn to love others as we love ourselves. Jesus was not just a great teacher, he knows how to love and how to forgive. If we can learn not to suppress things, it would be better for our souls and our health. Part of moving on from our pain is learning to let go. Most people get stuck here because they feel that if they let go, the person or thing that caused them the pain will go unpunished. When we see that nothing really disappears, we can take our love and forgiveness into the future with us. This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
