Regret - Philippians 3 - [REAL] - Brent Phillips - Encounter Houston

Regret is defined as feeling sad or sorry about (something that you did or did not do)

We have all dealt with regret. Many of us are still dealing with that regret, and we all have moments that we could go back and do it differently. We have tried everything we know possible to help fix our regrets by doing many things to help fill a void but it never goes away it always stays the same.

“If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.” –Mercedes Lackey

Our choices and decisions can never be undone once they are made. The regret that we are dealing with can cause us much anguish and pain and constantly have us thinking “if only” I had done things differently. We tend to look at how great other people’s lives look compared to ours and think, “if only my life looked like theirs things would be different.”

How can we fix something that is broken? How to we make something whole once again? How can we restore a life that has been shattered?

Philippians 3:13-14 “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”

Paul is saying that there is nothing in our past that disqualifies you from a future in Jesus Christ. There is nothing that robs you from moving forward in Jesus Christ. No matter what choices you have made He can turn your regrets into something beautiful if you would only allow Him to.
