No Life Wasted

Good Morning!! Who among us, has not wished for a "do over",...looked back over your life, and wished back wasted moments? Even today, I have regrets, sorrows, and wounds I wish I could undo. Although it is true that we may very well suffer life-long trials because of past sinful choices, the Lord is able to restore the years that you may feel have been eaten up by disobedience, guilt, sinfulness, or the poor choices of immaturity. God says, “I will restore to you the years…” How can this be? Will He reverse our life clock, will He turn back our calendar? No. But God is able to pack so much good living, so much vitality, so many blessing into the years that we have left, that we will be able to live and enjoy a life-time of joys, victories, and pleasures, in whatever time remains.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.—Joel 2:25 (KJV)

 

Take for example the thief on the cross,...here was a man with just minutes to live, who had squandered all his life on murder, thievery, and selfishness,...and, yet, God took him in the waning moments of his life, brought him to repentance and faith in Christ,...and then used the fleeting few minutes he had left to leave behind him an everlasting testimony of God’s grace to save, to pardon, to instruct,...and even to resurrect.

 

The most wonderful promise of God, is that He does not only forgive the repentant sinner,...He heals the repentant sinner, and his life.

 

All praises to God, the Most High,...Who's grace and mercy is far greater than we could ever hope to understand! Amen.

 

"To lead others out of the darkness of sin, let them see your light."
