I wrote these words back in 2018. I was reminded of them today. I'd like share this and "maybe" start a conversation....
A life without regrets!
I was reading about Charles Krauthammer earlier and I couldn't help but notice his claim of having "no regrets". I've always enjoyed listening to Charles. Not that I always agree. It was just the fact that no matter what he said, he had a reason for what he believed. He was/is very much a reasoned and measured individual. However, when I read his farewell letter I couldn't help but be bothered by his claim of having "no regrets". I know it is our/man's desire to find meaning in our existence. However, I've found that its not really what we think of others or our even our accomplishments that tells the proverbial "tale" of our existence. It is what we think of ourselves...... that reveals our condition.
A person that has become guilty before God is FULL of regrets. Such individuals have a keen sense of their own inadequacies and limitations. Show me a person that really knows themselves and you'll find a person full of regrets. We can not really know ourselves without God's help. We can't. It is beyond us to see ourselves for what we truly are. Over and over again we reason away our guilty actions as if we are all the BETTER for them to have taken place....
There is a word for "having no regrets"... its called "Pride".,,, and Pride goes before destruction. Proverbs 16:18
Do you have any regrets?
