"This day is holy unto the Lord: neither be ye sorry." ~ Neh. 8:10
As I look back over my life, like anyone else, there are things I have regretted. Things I am sorry for. But viewing it from the positive standpoint, there are things I have never, or will ever, be sorry for. And it is the latter I like to dwell upon.
The first of these was the day I asked Jesus Christ to save me. Whenever I'm at my lowest, I say to myself, "I am eternally saved and safe in Christ Jesus, my Lord." That lifts up my drooping head.
The second thing is the night I turned my back on the world and all it had to offer. I had observed, as a young Christian, as my wife used to say, "Those saints who want the best of both worlds, end up with the worst of both."
The third thing that has never caused me a moments grief is when I gave back to God the life He gave me. I was created in His Image. When Jesus looked at Caesar's image on a coin He told His followers to render to him what was due. Then added, since they were in the image of God, to give to God what was owed Him.
Fourthly, I have never been dismayed for the times I said "No!" to the devil's temptations. I found a good, convincing "NO!" will help more than knowing theology.
And lastly, there has never been an unhappy day in my life for giving the Lord the key to the door of the last room of my heart. That room where I hid all my cherished, carnal secrets. Jesus said, "I have the key of David." I wanted Him to be able to say that of me!
