My my my

I wish I would’ve found God sooner. I know thats the trending theme of this blog but it’s true. I have so many regrets, so many experiences I cant shake with people I loved, now mere memories set to replay.

I wish I loved people better

Wish I listened more,

Wish I had more patience

Wish I extended shoulders to a face full of tears more often

Wish I was Kinder

Quieter,

Softer

I wish,

I wish I knew God.

Some people believe that because they are “good” they don’t need God yet even still our best self is deserving of hell.

Although a painful truth, Goodness could only be found in the one who created it.

I thought I was a “good” person, I wasn’t intentionally evil or predatory but when I look back over my life, my relationships and my attitude towards others, I was in error.

I was so blind

so,

so,

blind

However, One cannot change the past. One cannot hop in a time machine in search of a better yesterday, we can only move forward. Only muster up the strength and courage to face the possibility of a greater tomorrow.

Yes, I wish I found Jesus sooner

I wish I knew the incredible power of love and grace and empathy and kindness

I wish I saw the people he created not just with physical eyes but with true spiritual sight

The ones I lost in the shuffle deserved better.

I too wish they had found God

Maybe our conversations would’ve been brighter

Maybe true joy would’ve replaced our needless escapism

Maybe we would’ve truly known peace, together.

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”

Philippians 3:13-14

God Sees

Amen and Amen
