Controlled, SUBMITTED to GOD, thinking leads to good choices
and good choices lead to good consequences.

Remember, WHO CREATED you and in WHOSE FUTURE you BELONG IN. Try to live your life, with this understanding, so as that there will be no regrets in the future. Regrets cannot be changed. Regrets have a way of weighing one down and are very difficult to get over. If you make a mistake by moving against GOD (sin), in any decision, fix it by changing it as soon as you can and ask for FORGIVENESS from GOD and forgiveness from the ones that got hurt by that wrong decision.

I have learned that making mistakes is inevitable but fixing them is not. I had to really force myself to go and ASK for FORGIVENESS from GOD and to try to resolve the mistake I had made against people. We should never assume that people will understand that we are really sorry. We must make a point of apologizing in the open and letting everyone know that we were wrong. The consequence of being FORGIVEN is the lack of regrets in life, later.

JESUS SAID that the wise man builds his house upon the ROCK (JESUS). But, what good is BEING on the ROCK, if you choose to build your house (life) with bad boards (choices).

Let us say that good choices are good boards and that bad choices are cheap boards. Life is like building a house. A strong house will stand stronger and longer when it is built with good boards. A house built with cheap wood is not a strong structure and will sway and bend in any storm and the possibility of it being destroyed rests on the strength left or on the strength of the next storm.

You are INDWELLED by GOD'S SPIRIT. You have the POWER, in you, to control your thoughts and make good choices that will create a strong foundation in your life creating a you that can and will stand in any storm.

You may be bent, cut, bruised, and burnt but because of the FRUIT of HIS SPIRIT that CREATES good consequences, you will always be you - with no regrets.

LOVE, RICOEL
