I have always been the kind of person that wanted to live my life with no regrets. I wanted to be the person that, when asked what my biggest regret was as I lay on my death bed, answered “nothing, I have no regrets! I lived my life the fullest of its extent, I loved endlessly, gave unselfishly, and served others the way God would have wanted me to!” The more I think about this idea of no regrets the more I come to the conclusion that, no matter how comforting of a thought that it is, It is highly unrealistic and unattainable! As humans, Gods greatest creation, we are bound and even promised that at some point in our life we will be faced with tough and sometimes even impossible decisions. So wouldn't it only be logical because of our nature as imperfect human beings that by the end of our lifetime, we are destined to have some sort of regret somewhere along our own rocky paths? What if we could live without those regrets, what if someone magically found the key that would help erase those regrets?! That would be awesome right! No regrets for anyone! A life free from the traps we as humans bind ourselves to! I don’t know about you but I know that someone has already found that key!
You see, i’m also a firm believer in the notion that all things happen for a reason and that there is no such thing as coincidence. I believe this so much so that I have it tattooed on my body ( right shoulder to be exact, its quite cute!). The thought of living with no regrets and that everything happens for a reason go quite good together realistically and logically! It all lies within the trust we place with our Heavenly Father. If we place undeniable, unshakable, unwavering trust with God then living a life with no regrets would be easy. However I would be lying if I told you that I have always been good at putting that much trust in God or that I am good at putting that much trust into God right now in my life! But as I live my life each day I realize more and more that God knows what he is doing and has a plan for each and everyone of us, perfectly tailored to guide us as individuals back to his presence! I’m grateful for the plan that he has designed for me and am extraordinarily grateful for the people he has placed within that plan!
I promise you that God believes in you and knows each of the things you are going through each day, you do not face those difficult or impossible decisions alone, he is with you every step of the way! He leads you and guides you each and every second of every day! He will not let you make a mistake (simply because there are no mistakes)! His hands are upon you so do not be afraid of living your life to the fullest, loving endlessly, giving unselfishly, or serving others with all you have! I will not promise you that it will be easy or lack pain, nor did God promise that, but I know that it its worth it! It is my challenge to you to look at your own life and recognize those moments within each day that God is present! Find moments that you regret and ask yourself why you regret them! Put your trust in God and let him lead you the way he needs to! Believe that everything happens for a reason and I promise your life will change dramatically! Also know that I am with you in your journey too! I am constantly analyzing my life and trying to recognize the moments within each day that God is present! It has changed my life and I know that it will change yours!
Be Grateful, Love Endlessly, Trust always, and Give selflessly!
Until Next time,
Jayden
