Right now we are in a series at church called No Regrets. We are walking through how to get to a life with no regrets. That’s a bold idea. It’s bold to think you can live a life with no regrets. The key in it? Believing that it is possible.
Anything is possible. A life of no regrets is possible. You could choose now to live a life without regrets and hopefully not really have any more regrets in your life, at least major ones.
Now that phrase used to be thrown around a lot a couple years ago. It was no regrets that and no regrets this. They would say no regrets when they would do things that could cause regrets. Things like dating, traveling, impulse buying, etc. were things that this would be said about. I don’t think that saying no regrets in these instances really led to no regrets. I bet some of these led to major regrets. Some may have been great, but I am guessing some went bad too and there was regret.
I love the idea of living a life of no regrets. I have regrets in my life. I regret things like self harming for the first time or developing my eating disorder. I regret letting other people have control over my life. I regret not speaking up when things were wrong. I regret letting people walk all over me.
Some of these regrets can change. I can regret letting people walk over me in the past while striving to not let that keep happening. I can regret not speaking up in the past but using it as a learning experience to speak up when things are wrong. Regrets can also be learning curves eventually. I try and use my past as a learning experience. There is a lot I can learn from my past.
This week, Danny was talking about this idea of being bold and taking risks. One of the points this week was this idea of go until you get a no. So it’s this idea to look for green lights instead of red lights. It’s this idea of an advance mentality. An idea of going where God wants you to and going until He tells you no and prevents you from going on.
I love this idea. I love the idea of being bold and going for it. Going for that position at your job. Going for that business you always wanted to start. Going for that degree you want to earn. This idea makes me think that you are unstoppable when you are doing what God wants you to do.
God is unstoppable. I am just going to say that. If He doesn’t want you to do something, you will not be doing that thing. If He wants something, He will get that thing. There is no stopping Him. He is truly unstoppable. And when your life lines up with His will for you, you become unstoppable too.
I want to go until I get a no. I want my life to line up with God’s will so much that I become unstoppable. I want my life to be used by God. I want to help advance His kingdom so much. I want to be an unstoppable child of God.
I want this for you too. I want you to want to follow God’s plan for your life. I want you to live a life of no regrets. I want you to feel like you can go until you get a no. I want you to become unstoppable.
The key is God. He’s the only way that that could ever happen. God’s plan for you is amazing and when your life aligns with His plans, oh is it amazing. A big part of this is believing and trusting that where God leads you, He will provide.
That can be a scary idea. The idea of letting someone else provide for you. The idea of trusting that you will have your needs met. Maybe you’re like me and growing up, not all your needs were met. This can make it really hard to trust that God will provide because you have never known a life where you have all your needs provided for. You had to fight for what you have. You had to fight to survive.
I get that. I truly do. But let me just tell you that God provides. He provides everything you need when you need it. He is faithful and you need to just trust Him.
Living a life of no regrets means trusting God to provide for your needs wherever He leads you to go.
Living a life of no regrets means trusting that God has your best interests in mind when He is leading you somewhere.
Living a life of no regrets means saying yes to God and going until He tells you no.
Hold onto hope and stay strong.
