We often times hear this phrase, but we don’t understand the depth of this saying. It’s not that we are going to be perfect, but sometimes we get ourselves into situations that could of saved us time and pain. Actions have consequences…. What we do can affect us, whether in the long term or present. Sometimes we say or do things that not only affect us but others! We need to think twice about what we do and say. I’m not only talking about the small actions but the big ones too… Actions that you and I both know have hurt others. We can’t take things back once they have been done. Sins also committed that affect the way people view us or others. I know we can’t always predict what’s going to happen. But if we are being honest… alot of the situations we have been through is because we have put ourselves in that position. Not only are there repercussions for us, but others as well. We human beings, I’ve noticed tend to fix our eyes on the now and not the long term. We need to remember that we can’t go back in time and change what is already done. We can only focus on our present and what we do going forward. We wonder why things happen but forget we put ourselves in situations… We aren’t cautious about our actions! I really encourage you to think about this because God is always working for our good. But let’s not abuse his grace, we also have free will. Let’s learn to listen to God when he tells us something for the first time. Let’s listen to Gods direction and correction. You know how many mistakes I’ve made, that I look back at now and understood that I could of done it better. Now what’s done is done, we can’t go back. But what we can do is change how we do things going forward. We truly have to learn from our mistakes, so we don’t continue committing the same ones. The great thing about our God is that nothing we go through goes in vain. But still, if there are things we can avoid, let’s try… Let’s avoid some pains and mistakes, so we could live more accordingly to how God calls us to live.
