Today is Monday, May 20th, 2013; Karen's Korner #2571

Today's Max Lucado fits in well with our church sermon on Sunday. Our pastor talked about which way do we look? Through the wide, front window of our vehicle of 'life', or do we spend our time trying to move ahead, looking at the rear-view mirror, as we travel?
 
 
What's Done is Done

What do you do with your failures? Could you do it all over again, you’d do it differently. You’d be more patient. You’d control your tongue. You’d finish what you started. You’d get married first. But as many times as you tell yourself, “What’s done is done,” what you did can’t be undone.

That’s part of what the apostle Paul meant when he said, “The wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23). He didn’t say, “The wages of sin is a bad mood.”  Or “The wages of sin is a hard day.” Read it again.  “The wages of sin is death.”  Sin is fatal.

What do you do?  Don’t we all long for a father who will love us?  A father who cares for us in spite of our failures? We have that kind of a father.  A father whose grace is strongest when our devotion is weakest.  Your failures are not fatal, my friend!
