No regrets

By Bertina Norford

“I wish I hadn’t done that!” “If only I’d known this!” “I’m really sorry I chose that way.”

Most of us have dealt with such thoughts. Ruminating about the past, even with deep regret, tends to immerse us in a mental fog that makes us feel separated from God. Backward-looking thoughts can prevent our progress and shouldn’t be coddled or ignored, no matter how familiar they’ve become.
