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.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
