Have you ever given much thought to something you did that was really stupid? Ever thought about something you said to someone that you wish you could go back and just snatch those words right out of the air before they hit the ears of the person you were directing them towards?
I have! And one of the things that God has been doing in my life as I walk out his calling is reminding me of some of the things I’ve said and done and then going back to those people and asking them to forgive me. You see, many times I was in the wrong and even if I wasn’t totally wrong it just wasn’t becoming of who I am in Christ. I have to admit that many times I shudder when I think about going and explaining to someone years later that I am sorry for something that often times they don’t even remember.
A few weeks back I had to do just that. I went to someone that I had acted like a fool in front of and told them to forgive me and they looked at me like I was a guy with three heads. But when I left I knew I had done the right thing.
Do you ever regret some of the things you did or said in public?
I’d love to know……
