How about regretting what you do/what you didn't do!
We all have regrets sometime in our lives, some regrets are good and some are bad. What do you regret? Sometimes I find myself regret such stupid things like not eating a certain type of food when I have a choice, or being very ugly to a true friend. What about sin? Do we regret sinning as often as we should. I know of some cases that people regret sin in, pregnancy. That's a huge topic in the teen realm. We think we have it all. We can take care of ourselves so why not lose our virginity? Everyone else does. So when a girl turns up pregnant she often feels bad, but is it about sinning? Or about have to decide on what to do with it. By the way, ABORTION IS NOT THE ANSWER. But that's another subject for another time.
What about regretting being disobedient? Do we regret it for the right reason or for the wrong reason. I know I regret it because it prevents me from doing the things I love but I should regret only because I have let God down and it just disappoints Him more for me just to look Him over and not repent.
We always say things that we shouldn't say. (Which I have a huge problem with.) We say hurtful things to people who hurt us or just say hurtful things to be mean about it. That isn't the way to act is it? When you look at how Jesus came to die on the cross for OUR sins, He never said one harsh word. When He could have struck us down, He didn't. He had a choice whether to fulfill His prophecy for us or not, and He chose to.
One thing I regret often is not studying for a test. If I don't study I shouldn't expect to make the grade. We regret gifts that we receive.
What about our parents? Have you ever regretted having your parents? I know I have and that is such a foolish thing to do. How can someone regret their parents? There are certain cases that are different than others but just regretting your parents because they spank you or punish you makes you a fool. It is the second commandment to obey thy Father and thy Mother.
What are some things that your regret? Is it worth regretting or are you just being foolish?
