Wouldn't it be nice to live this
life over again? I would like to do that - knowing what I know now. I could
avoid doing some stupid things. I could
do some things correctly. I could devote
time to the truly important things.
I always hate redoing a project
because something went wrong or I installed a part in the wrong order and had
to take it apart again in order to put it together correctly. Eventually, I
learn how to do the project so that the next time I know what tools and supplies
I need and how to remove and replace the parts.
Then the job isn't so difficult and frustrating and I have a sense of
a-job-well-done on completion.
Sometimes I come across something
I did years before and am ashamed at the craftsmanship. The same goes for life-lessons, but I do
learn. I find myself ashamed at things I
did out of ignorance. Other times, I thought
I knew it all, only to find out I didn't later on. I have learned that the
directions do help - unless they are upside down, written in a foreign language
or in too small of print.
I have learned that the time
comes for all of us that we become ashamed of our sin and are ready to turn to
God. God didn't let me do life over, but He did let me start anew.
"What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
for the end of those things is
death." Romans 6:21.
