What can you see?

At A Holy Experience Jennifer Rothschild is the guest blogger today.

Often, when we’re down, all we can see is the valley, the wasteland – we feel like our lives are a mess. But our loving God does not see us and our low places that way. The stuff you think may be just too messy, too ugly, too far gone is the stuff God is infusing with purpose.

The sorrow that hurts you? God fashions it into faith that sustains you.

The sin you’re ashamed of? God uses it to create beautiful humility.

The failures you regret? God turns them into wisdom.

The grief that shattered your heart? God crafts that into unshakeable faith.

The missed opportunities? God uses those to make you reflect His grace.

The loss you never expected? God molds that into strength you can’t explain.

God can make your low place a stepping stone to climb higher with Him.

Do you have any regrets?

Seth Godin writes today about regrets:

"I didn't do anything"

That's the first and best defense every toddler learns. If you don't do anything, you don't get in trouble.

Somewhere along the way, it flips. "I didn't do anything when I had the chance," becomes a regret. The lost opportunity, the hand not extended, the skill not learned...

Wouldn't it be great if we knew what our regrets were when we still had time to do something about them?

Or, did you just chew it up and spit it out?
