Regret and a question

There won't be a bible verse for this I just want to write something to just share with you. I think it is safe to say the worst emotion and possibly the long-lasting effective emotion that stirs within us is regret, we have all made a mistake in life or looked back at a moment and regretted either our actions or our words that we have done/said. Many times I look back at a moment and come to think... why did I do that? Why didn't I say something? and sometimes we think i would've been good to say that certain thing or to do that certain thing but maybe, just maybe you did the right thing by not doing that action or by not saying that word.

Have I lost you?

Okay, I'm sorry how about an example;

Right... so, you're in class and one of your fellow students insults you and at that moment you just hear it and don't speak up for yourself instead you just sit quietly... hurt by that insult but do your very best not to show it so you just leave it as that. Then you go home and think of a really good insult that you could've said there and then at that moment... but that moment has just slipped away and that opportunity of your victory is no longer there. However... If you think about it is it not better for you to become the bigger person rather having the last laugh, and you never know maybe it was by God's power to not let you say anything back because I'm pretty sure God has a better plan provided for you rather than wanting you to waste your time by having the last laugh.

So just remember, through the moments of life that come regret, I want you to just thank God for that moment... because whatever happened, happened by God's plan.

I also just thought I could tell you this question I was asked by someone. I was asked;

"How much of a Christian are you? Like are you a strong Christian or...what?" and at first I was quite shocked and I thought that, well you know who am I to say if I am a "strong" Christian you know... I still have things to work on with my relationship with God, like I need to make time with him to pray and heck, I haven't finished the whole bible! I can't judge myself because I'd like to think I am a "strong" Christian but of course it's not as true and of course, God is the only one to rightfully judge me. So my response was a simple "I don't know... I'm a Christian," and then, my classmates surrounding me near and upon my table told me that I am a strong Christian and that I know my bible verses I kind of just scoffed a little because although they say this the truth is I still have a long way to go in fact, I am still making my journey with Christ himself and I am not ashamed to say it, it's just that I lack in making time. I don't know if you too have experienced this but, I want you to keep this in mind; Make time for God because he has all the time for you. I mean it, and although I am a hypocrite I am actually trying to best of my ability to work with God... I'm serious, I'm so serious that I have actually woken up to every weekday of the mornings to just pray. Just talk to God and ask him to forgive me of my sins, thank him for the blood of Jesus that was poured upon that Cross to wash away my sins and to help, guide, strengthen and protect me in what lies ahead of that day and I even tell God to shelter me over all evil that comes my way and I rebuke it in the name of Jesus, not only that but I even ask God to move in my life by making me see success in everything I overcome (be it a mini quiz or an actual exam) and I am proud to say, God does answer my prayers. I know this because I see a great impact on my results just because I prayed and requested a prayer from my Sunday school teacher.

Last of all... I wanted to share the fact that in my Church we have a beautiful saying which we usually say from time to time, where the Pastor says;

"God is good..."

and we reply with, "...ALL THE TIME!" and I can already feel the great power of the holy spirit roar inside us as we yell it because it's true. God IS Good, ALL the time!
