Personally, I hate regret. That dude who likes to pop around every corner, just when you think you've "gotten over it". Throws in your face every mistake you've made. Tries to drag you down every time you start to climb.
But regret is something I've been thinking about lately. Something I've been trying to "figure out", maybe. What, really, is regret? How are you supposed to get rid of him when he shows up to try and ruin your life a little more?
What do you think? [I'll post what I think later, after I've heard some other opinions:)]
What is your definition of regret? Are you thinking of condemnation?
ReplyDeleteVery good thought, Talitha! Regret is something I struggle with too. I think sometimes I struggle to truly accept God's forgiveness, and then I struggle to forgive myself, and then I struggle to "let go" of regret. I don't know... just some of my thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteFor the sake of the blog post, I was thinking of regret as in self-condemnation.
