Last night at our weekly prayer meeting I asked God for forgiveness for wasting 15 years of my life and told him I would strive to never make those mistakes again. Well, many people spoke up and said, &quot;Carl, it was not a waste but a lesson learned&quot;. What you learned made you appreciate God more and are now learning lessons from that experience. And one lady Rosemarie pointed me to Joel, 2:23-27. <br /><br />After reading your post and the scripture from Hebrews, I now realize I was being disciplined for may sinful actions. I have repented for those sins but as we all know the consequences linger. I have struggled to not look back at the things or time lost but I pray God&#39;s will will be done in my life. Thankfully, my life is back on track and the future looks bright as I am now a new Brother in Christ, body, mind and soul. Thanks again. <br /><br />Carl <br />MassachusettsCarl P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08089123759958034882noreply@blogger.com
