If I Knew Then . . .
October 6, 2017
In his great mercy [God] has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3
On the way to work, I listened to the song Dear Younger Me, which asks: If you could go back, knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self? As I listened, I thought about the bits of wisdom I might give my younger, less-wise self. Most of us have thought about how we might do things differentlyif only we could do it all over again.
But the song illustrates that even though we have regrets from our past, all our experiences have shaped who we are. We cant change the consequences of our choices or sin. Praise God we dont have to carry the mistakes around with us. Because of what Jesus has done! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! (1 Peter 1:3).
If we turn to Him in faith and sorrow for our sins, He will forgive us. On that day were made brand new and begin the process of being spiritually transformed (2 Cor. 5:17). It doesnt matter what weve done (or havent done), we are forgiven because of what Hes done. We can move forward, making the most of today and anticipating a future with Him. In Christ, were free!
Dear Lord, Im so thankful that through You we can be free of the burdens of the pastthe mistakes, the pain, the sinsthat hang so heavy. We dont need to carry around regret or shame. We can leave them with You.
For further study, read Live Free.
Leave your heavy burdens with God.
Imagine meeting Jesus face to faceafter knowingly denying ever knowing Him. Would we tell Him we havent been able to forgive ourselves? Would He know our heart and understand?
During the Last Supper, Peter couldnt imagine he would deny Jesus oncelet alone three times (John 13:3738). But then the unthinkable happened (Matt. 26:6975). Later, however, Jesus gave Peter three opportunities to express love to the One who so mercifully forgave him (John 21:1518).
In that love and forgiveness Peter found a way forward. We too can move forward from the sins of our past through the love and forgiveness of Christ.

Yes. Came out of retirement to work in Arizona. Living in Scottsdale.
The first two days I didn't have hot water or a usable washing machine due to the remodelers messing up the plumbing. That's fixed.
Today I noticed that the bank spelled my name wrong on my checks and carried the error throughout the system. That was another time waster.
Things are back to normal tonight.

Howdy there, Publius.
Shoo, it’s one thing after another isn’t it? Hope nothing else crops up.
Other than dealing with the bank, I hope your day went well. Things go smoothly on your first day at work?

Yes, the temps are still on the warm side, but comfy. And the skies were clear so I could go out and look at that amazing moon before posting my moon table. I took a picture, but a phone pic doesn’t do it justice!
I’d get my telescope out, but it weighs a ton, and I need Don to hold the door open while I maneuver it outside. LOL!
