Regrets

We all have them. 

Yesterday I went to McDonalds for ice cream with two of our core members  and another assistant. I had a triple thick strawberry milkshake, while the rest had sundaes. I was not really impressed with the milkshake. It tasted a bit too fake for my liking. Haha, Its funny how I already knew this already from other Triple Thick Milkshake experiences!

Later in the day Derek and I made the trip to the McDonalds in Coldbrooke to pick up Blaine from work. While we were there, both Blaine and Derek ordered the newly introduced Apple Crisp Blizzard, to satisfy there ice cream cravings. It was then that I started to feel sorry for having made my Triple Thick Milkshake choice. Why did I not think of having a blizzard instead? I knew that I liked Blizzards more than the Triple Thick Milkshakes. How could I have forgotten so easily!?!?

Spiritually speaking, the main reason we have regrets, is that we do not think about what will come after the choices we make. Squandering wonderful opportunities, because of our near sightedness. In our eagerness to satisfy our own desires, we so easily forget about what God has done for us, and how He wants us to live. 

Why not start making decisions that we know please God? Not “what kind of ice cream will I eat” decisions. But decisions, both big and small, that are packed with love for God and the people around us. Decide to do the right thing, even if it means going against what the rest of the world thinks we should do!

In Galatians 1:10, Apostle Paul said “Am I now tying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

Keep on running in the power HE so faithfully provides!
