What might have been....if only.....

What might have been.....if only......

Have you ever awakened or been assailed with the thoughts....."if only"...guilt seeps in....negative thoughts take over...... It can be about anything.....we want to change or wanted to different.....would it have made a difference......would things  be different now....

There are some events we can go back to, ask for forgiveness or whatever....but, words said, actions taken, doctors seen, exercise done, foods eaten....may not have made any difference....it is what it is.....what lessons have we learned????  What is God teaching me through this?    Am I letting go of the false guilt???

Satan would like us to be downtrodden with the "if only", the "what ifs"......But The Holy Spirit leads into truth....listen....there are times when I need to change, without a doubt, But God leads in the lessons.....He doesn't assail, torment, accuse....

Jesus Calling-August 16, Meet Me in early morning splendor. I eagerly await you here. In the stillness of this holy time with Me, I renew your strength and saturate you with Peace. While others turn over for extra sleep or anxiously tune in to the latest news, you commune with the Creator of the universe. I have awakened in your heart strong desire to know Me. This longing originated in Me, though it now burns brightly in you.

Jesus calling - August 17, Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust Me enough to yield to My design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from My loving Presence; you are Mine.

Proverbs 14:5

An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

Revelation 20:10

And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

—Isaiah 40:31

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

—Psalm 27:4

Thank you for caring, for leading to truth .....in kindness.....even discipline....but in love....
