John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Have you ever said to yourself, “I just wish I could undo my life and make everything right?” Well, you can't, none of us can. The past is history, water under the bridge, it is gone forever. We cannot change the past, no matter how much we may try. Ah, but praise God, Jesus can make everything right. That's why Jesus came to die on the cross... TO MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT! Amen and amen!
Many would-have-been mothers deeply regret aborting their baby in the past, and they wish-to-God they could bring back that precious life, but they cannot. What's done is done. But praise God, Jesus can make everything right, and that little baby is in Heaven. King David's baby died, but David said he will go to the child one day in eternity. 2nd Samuel 12:23, “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” Only if you are a born-again Christian, you will see your baby again in Heaven!
Only Jesus can make everything right. We may ruin our lives, or someone may ruin it for us; but Jesus came into the world to make everything right by His precious literal blood sacrifice for our sins (1st Peter 12:18-19). Jesus said in John 16:33, “be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Amen and amen!
I don't care how messed up your life is, Jesus can and will make everything right if you are saved. We could never make everything right. We may be able to make some things right, but there are times when there is simply nothing we can do to make things right. In fact, there are oftentimes when this is the case. There are things in most people's lives that they could never fix. Although you may wish by the grace of God that you could go back in time and change some things, you might have made it worse by doing so. Let go, let God.
There is always something you thought you could have done to make things better. God only knows the things that would have happened, had the things that happened, hadn't happened. We must not live in the unfair world of “I could of, I should of, I would of,” because everything in life is what it is. Life is what it is! We cannot change the past.
I have learned as a Christian that God can take even the worst failures and tragedies in our lives and use it for His glory. Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, and then falsely accused and thrown into prison; but God raised Joseph up to be governor in Egypt during the years of famine. King David stole a man's wife and then murdered the husband; but God used David's broken heart, and all the miseries that came upon David because of his sins, to write the beloved Psalms. God used David's sins and faults for His glory. One-third of the Bible was written by murderers (Moses, David and Paul).
Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Notice that God didn't promise that all things would be good; but rather, that all things would “work together for good to them that love God.” If you are a born-again Christian, then this means you. Everything will work out for good in the end. There will be tears of failure in Heaven for many believers, and loss of rewards, and regret over wasted lives that could have been spent soul-winning; but God will eventually wipe away all tears and make everything right (Revelation 21:4).
The big question is... are you on the winning team? Are you saved? have you ever been born-again? You cannot enter into Heaven unless you've been born again of the Spirit of God, by the Word of God (John 3:3; 1st Peter 1:23). Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin for breaking God's Law (Romans 3:19); and believes on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, for the forgiveness of sins. Acts 10:43, “To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.” Amen and amen! We are the SINNERS and Jesus is the redeeming SAVIOR. Salvation is receiving, not giving. Eternal life is the gift of God (Romans 6:23), paid for by Jesus precious literal blood (Colossians 1:14; Revelation 1:5; 7:14). END
