"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on. (Led Zeppelin 1971 Page/Plant)
Mistakes give birth to Regret, Regret gives birth to Self Condemnation!! Don't kill your tomorrow because of what you did yesterday!!! Your past is not worth your future!!!! Turn around, look into your Future and go in that direction because you cannot walk backwards through life!!!! You will only see what has been and never see what God has in His plans for you!! Repent of your sins, receive God's forgiveness and move forward to your Purpose!!!!
"Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened (distressed); and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble." (Proverbs 4:10-12 KJV)
This is a much better plan than beating yourself up on a daily basis for bad choices made in days gone by.... no one is immune from the possibility of making bad choices at various crossroads in life!!!

"without me"
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for WITHOUT ME ye can do nothing."

"Hurt no one and forgive instantly"
Forgive me, as I Forgive.......
If you live on this planet very long, someone will inevitably hurt you, it will happen.... Especially if you love others, unfortunately it's just a matter of time!! We love God because He first loved us. We did not just wake up one day and decide to repent of our sins but rather the God of Love, Mercy, Grace and Goodness manifested our need for Him through the work Holy Spirit in our dark hearts!!! When Adam sinned in the garden, who went looking for whom? Did Adam repent and go looking for God or did The God of Grace come calling Adam's name? "Adam, Where art thou"? It's God's Goodness that brings us to a place of repentance!! "...not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"(Romans 2:4 KJV)
It is with this same Grace given us by God we must forgive those that hurt us so we can walk in love on our life journey. At times we will forgive others and they will never even know it but we will know and God will know that we are walking in forgiveness!! What about when we hurt someone? Have you hurt anyone lately? I know I've hurt people and had no idea at the time because of my strong full speed ahead personality and my passion to fulfill my purpose on earth. It's sad that we usually hurt those that love us the most because we are around them on a regular basis. I'm Sorry" is easy to say but to avoid needing to have to say I'm sorry is the greatest challenge. Hurt no one and always forgive instantly whether you get an apology or not!!! Forgive as Christ forgave, the true test of Christianity. While hanging on a CROSS, Jesus prayed, "Father, Forgive them"!
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And FORGIVE US our debts, AS WE FORGIVE our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
(Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)

"Give us this day"
God is a "real time" God!! He is not in some far away place but He is in your space keeping a close eye on you every second of your life. As Jesus taught His disciples to pray so must we pray!! "Give us this day our daily bread"
God really does care about our every need, every day of our lives!! There is no such day that God doesn't concern Himself with His people and there will never be such a day!! "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."(Philippians 4:19 KJV)
WHAT DO YOU NEED TODAY? "Give us this day our Daily Bread"
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." (22 seconds)

22 seconds....
If you read what has become known as "The Lord's Prayer", it will take around 22 seconds. It's actually an example prayer that Jesus Christ personally spoke to teach us how to pray!! Please read it slowly, allowing every truth to soak into your Spirit. I personally have it committed to memory and I strive for it to be my first waking thoughts in the morning to set me in the right frame of mind for the day!!
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
Matthew 6:9-13 KJV
Every aspect of our lives is mentioned!! It starts with the profound truth that we have a loving Heavenly Father that desires that we be blessed on earth!!
It closes by declaring that our God is the Almighty One and we have access to Him!!!

Israel
On May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation once again. As prophesied in the Bible the Jews have been scattered to all nations but they have been going home since regaining their land. There are many prophesies in the Scriptures about Israel coming back to to her homeland before the "Day of The Lord" and it has come to pass. She is surrounded by enemy nations that are trying to drive her into the Mediterranean Sea but they will fail. Israel has the 4th strongest military in the world, they are anointed with the "Spirit of David", one of the greatest warriors that every fought a battle. The are also and most importantly empowered by God Himself!!! Israel will stand the test of time!! God called a man named Abram then changed his name to Abraham thus beginning the Jewish nation. Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Jacob's 12 sons became the 12 Tribes of Israel. Abraham's story begins in Genesis 12, around 2000 years after Adam.
"And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee." (Deuteronomy 30:1-3 KJV)
Even though the Jews have been going home since 1948 it appears that there are almost as many Jews is America as Israel. Some estimates say there are 6 million in Israel and 5.5 million in America!! I find it spiritually interesting that America has almost as many Jews as Israel. For some reason the ones in America decided to stay and I for one find that both comforting and unique!! If you pray for the "Peace of Jerusalem" you will prosper!! Stand with Israel and God will stand with you!!!!
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."
Psalms 122:6 KJV
God Bless Israel and May God Bless America!!
